Where have all the good girls gone?

Several years ago, I wrote a column praising a sweet and talented Welsh girl named Charlotte Church. A singer of arias and sacred songs, she possessed an uncommon sense of modesty and decorum in the skin-baring age of Britney Spears. Charlotte had the face and voice of an angel. Her signature piece was "Pie Jesu" (Blessed Jesus). Her favorite keepsake was a rosary blessed by the pope.

Or so she said at the time. Now, alas, the once-charming Charlotte is the new face of skankdom. And you won't believe what she's saying about the pope.

The 20-year-old entertainer has rebelled against the wholesome image that brought her fame, fortune and worldwide respect as a rare role model for young girls. She has traded in "Pie Jesu" for "Crazy Chick" — a lousy pop anthem even Ashlee Simpson wouldn't be caught performing. Charlotte's gone from pure-hearted to pure crap. These days, she drinks, she smokes, she curses, she fights, she parties, and she tries very, very hard to shock and offend — like a trashier Lindsay Lohan, only with better pipes.

Charlotte has a new talk show in England, where she plays a profanity-spewing hostess who is part Rosie O'Donnell, part Keith Olbermann (she has bashed President Bush as "clueless" and a "twat") and completely unhinged. The pilot episode featured Charlotte calling Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi, dressing as a nun and pretending to hallucinate while eating communion wafers imprinted with smiley faces (symbolizing the drug Ecstasy). The Catholic News Service reported last month that the pilot also showed Church smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary to reveal a can of fortified wine. To top off her anti-Catholic snit, she stuck chewing gum on a statue of the child Jesus.

Disgusting, hideous tramp.

Where have all the good girls gone?

I don't know, but be sure to let me know if you find where they went.

[StarCMC]

Disgusting.

[Arm_Bears]

Well, I married one of them.

[E Rocc]

She's probably just overcompensating for her previous image, and suffering a very early outbreak of "Pat Boone Syndrome".

To quote my wife about old friends who aren't friends anymore, "Remember them as they were, and let them go."

[MaryFromMichigan]

Sad to read that.

[sunvalley]

Hey! The good girls are still out here. We're just harder to find. We tend to be quieter, show less skin, and you typically can't find us at bars. We get overlooked because the skanks get all the attention.

[zendari]

Truth is sex sells.

Catholic Ping - Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list

[petro45acp]

Sad, maybe, but good-bad-or-indifferent, just another human doing human things.

[freedumb2003]

This is so sad.

Church was so anglic in voice and comportment.

Well, you never know.

[Mike Bates]

We're just harder to find.

But worth the effort.

[ichabod1]

Those of us who don't go to bars just can't find each other.

[Fury]

Mrs. Fury and I just celebrated our two-year anniversery. I thank God every day for her.

[Chewie84]

That is revolting, that she could have made such a horrible turn from God.

Indeed, good role models for girls are becoming harder and harder to find nowadays.

[xzins]

She has an agent and a media adviser.

The intent is to get attention, stay on top, and get the money to flow in.

[tkathy]

The good girls all went the same place all the good boys went.

[JamesP81]

Hey! The good girls are still out here. We're just harder to find.

Problem is that there are so many feminazis now that asking a girl out is to risk being assaulted or attacked legally.

BTW, in your profile I see that you're from Northern KY. I'm from the Western end of the state, but I have some friends from the Cincinatti, Louisville, and E-Town areas.
