Bash Those Catholics

Recently I read an article on Catholic.org about Britney Spears' new album art. Apparently included in her new album are pictures of her mocking the sacrament of confession. She appears in fishnets posing in provocative ways next to a hunky priest. I can't help but agree with Deacon Keith Fournier (the author of the article and deacon at my parish church) when he says...

"...that the only acceptable discrimination in America these days is bigotry toward the Catholic Church."

It's horribly true it seems... like there's some sort of "Okay Seal" on media training sheets that instructs journalists to make sure they're sensitive to every interest group on the planet except for those Catholics.

I'm honestly at a loss for what to say anymore. It's getting harder and harder to write this blog when the world seems to be getting darker and darker. I guess we all have to finish the race and keep the faith. From Deacon...

"In the meantime, we can pray for Britney. We must also continue to stand up against the continued exploitation of the images of our Church by those who have no shame."
