“CRUCIFIX MASTURBATION” FILM WINS
CATHOLIC LEAGUE ^ | 10 Sept. 2012 | Bill Donohue

Posted on 09/12/2012 10:03:38 PM PDT by G Larry

The Venice Film Festival awarded a special jury prize Saturday to “Paradise: Faith.” The film is part of a trilogy; Strand Releasing has acquired the U.S. rights and plans to release it early next year. Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments as follows:

One of the hallmarks of cultural charlatans is the propensity to insult Christians, especially Catholics, and then declare their offense creative. If anyone wants to know why a special jury prize was given to “Paradise: Faith,” let me spare you the need to read about it: it won because it shows a devout Catholic woman masturbating with a crucifix.

Disgusting and offfensively vile movies or "artwork" villifying Jesus Christ and all believers are "creative free speech", but any hint of a sneer against Islam and Mohammed has to be eradicated like a mad dog.

>Don't worry, as soon as Obama is done campaigning in Vegas, he will call Hillary and order her to condemn this disrespect for Catholics.

Are you saying Obama's going to be in Vegas until hell freezes over?
