Charlotte Church: B16 is a "Nazi"
Ah, to be young, talented, and stupid. From EntertainmentWise.com:
Charlotte Church has whipped up a storm of controversy by appearing as a drug-taking nun and calling the Pope a Nazi in her new TV show.
The singer performed a range of outrageous stunts for a pilot of her new Channel 4 talk show, such as smashing open a statue of the Virgin Mary to reveal a can of cider and eating a communion wafer emblazoned with a ecstasy smiley face and pretending to hallucinate. ...
As well as branding the Pope a Nazi despite performing for Pope John Paul II when she was an angelic 12-year-old she called painfully thin actress Keira Knightley a scrawny bird and labelled Posh Spice Victoria Beckham "as thick as two short planks".
Church's latest CD, featuring a modern/pop sound, is titled "Tissues and Issues"; the first single was titled "Crazy Chick." Hey, if the song fits, play it.

When English-speaking crowds attended his appearances (other than in church of course), they would chant "J-P-2, We love you!" and he would sometimes call back, "J-P-2, Loves you, too!"
The problem here is that it's hard to rhyme anything with "B16"! What do Papa Benedict's friend call him, besides Your Holiness?

What do Papa Benedict's friend call him, besides Your Holiness?"Papa Ratzi" for adult RCs or simply "Benedetto" (the Italian for Benedict) sung by the young in a sing-song. They clap after each repeat: BEN-E-DET-TO! CLAP,CLAP, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP! It is amazing to hear this. The cadence gets deafening.

Well, it's all very sad. Some child entertainers do become demented during the adult years. But the hideous blasphemy deserves being called on and pointed out. Someone should throw holy water on her. Obviously there is something VERY wrong spiritually going on.

"Qui mange au pape, en meurt" (Who eats of the Pope, will die of it) It seems to lose something in the translation.

The decline in quality is probably also a function of overuse, too early. Wouldn't a good voice coach have prevented that from happening?

The problem here is that it's hard to rhyme anything with "B16"! What do Papa Benedict's friend call him, besides Your Holiness? In German "Benedict" rhymes with the word for "sent," so the phrase "Benedikt Gott Geschickt!" (Benedict God sent) was coined shortly after Benedict was installed as Pope. It was at an audience with the German pilgrims that the phrase was chanted quite enthusiastically.

Celine Dion has a great voice too but she's flaky too. Did you hear her defending the looters after Katrina? paraphrasing: "So they're stealing! Who cares! Let them touch those things for once!" It was silly.

She could have choose to not be so crass, especially since she sang to John Paul 2 before and did know what she was doing.

I had the same response when I learned that Jennifer Jones had had a child out of wedlock. I always thought she was St. Bernadette Soubirous!

A voice coach can certainly help.
Most pop singers don't get proper voice instruction to begin with, and then force or push their voices until they damage their vocal cords. Only THEN do they get to a voice coach and/or a throat specialist to try to undo the damage.

It wasn't a TV show featuring a fictional character. It was a talk show, and the bits were apparently written for her personally to perform. Either way, she could have refused to do the bits, but she didn't.
Ignatius Press has every right to decide not to sell CDs of her music and videos of her performances. If folks still want to buy them, they can get them elsewhere. Ignatius didn't condemn her; they asked for us to pray for her. Sounds like she could use the prayers.
Frankly, I never liked her. It was always creepy hearing this adult voice coming out of a 12 yr old.

Personally I like "Our German Shepherd" as a nickname for Benedict XVI, and I mean that in the most loving, respectful way. I just love Benedict XVI'd voice -- it's so gentle and soothing.
Charlotte Church's antics are very disheartening and disappointing.
To: Antioch
Dang. What a bloody moron.
I'm always amazed how people like this can "figure out" that the catholic Church is a bunch of Nazis, but they can't figure it out about abortionists, Iranian Mullahs, Hugo "National Socialist" Chavez, leftists who march around in black clothes and masks beating up their enemies, etc., etc.

Apparently, in the skits and sketches on the show, she has decided that the way to make a buck and a bang is to blaspheme the Most Blessed Sacrament and call the Holy Father names. She should take a look at sinead O'Connor's record sales over the last ten years, and then think about it for a bit.

Your pictures do NOT support your thesis. It might still be true; but you need to make a better case. Good grief, you think he was actually making a case that she is demonically possessed? It was a joke! Grab a clue, chief!
