I think that Blasphemy is as subjective as the word “anti-American”. If Parker and Stone had Bush sprayed with fluids from a statue, most of this forum would call it anti-American. If X-42 got it 6 years ago, most would cheer. What changed? Our opinions of what and who represents American.
I don’t think Catholics agree that fluid dripping icons are miraculous is or that people flocking to them is central to your religion. Therefore, I suspect most would not agree with your claim of blasphemy, despite cringing when the Pope got splattered. Even I cringed a little at that, but figured it was just their usual attempt to be outrageous by taking potty humor and anti-authoritarianism to the edge.
I suspect that Parker, Stone and Comedy Central are no more upset with the controversy than you.
Blasphemy is an obscene reference to God, a holy person, or holy object. That is all. Anti-American has several connotations, most refer to acts rather than speech. One can say that making obscene references to a president for his faults is not anti-American because the American constitution allows it as political speech. There is no similar exception with respect to blasphemy.
On the other hand, humor or criticism that does not cross into obscene is OK.
"I don’t think Catholics agree that fluid dripping icons are miraculous is or that people flocking to them is central to your religion."
1 - The USE of the Madonna itself was a bad thing -- the icon for the Mother of God, a religous symbol of HUGE importance to the Catholic community (over one BILLION strong) -- and clearly intended to be linked to the Church (hence the use of the Pope).
2 - ANYONE who understands Catholicism would have known how offensive the use of the Madonna to mock anyone would be, especially involving anal and vaginal bleeding.
3 - Choosing to broadcast that on a Feast Day dedicated to the Blessed Virgin was an even more pointed insult.
Final score, bigots and haters broadcast one episode, then got told STOP.
God is not Mocked.
(PS The Church has validated more than one miracle involving statues of the Madonna. Your premise is as flawed as the rest of your argument.)
