OK, this is too insane. Have we no standards at all? Charlotte Church was acting in a TV show when she said those things; she was not stating her opinion. From the outrageous other things she did, it's plain she's portraying a troubled person, whose actions and opinions are doubtfully portrayed as worthy of emulation. Is her choice of characters bad jugdment? Quite possibly, but this is no basis on which to judge that.

This thread makes FR look stupid.

Dear dangus,

"From the outrageous other things she did, it's plain she's portraying a troubled person,..."

Her TV show is a talk show, of which she is apparently the host, and thus portrays... herself.

But I agree, she portrays a troubled person.

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.

Ignatius Press, and this thread, appear to be right on.

Ignatius Press should have pulled her stuff a long time ago on the basis of how she conducts her personal life, let alone her professional one. She's getting about on par with Paris Hilton when it comes to the tabloids.

This is a legitimate topic for open thread discussion on the Religion Forum, e.g. should an entertainer who is a believer say or do things which are contrary to his/her theology?

Sorry to disagree with you but this young woman has made her personal political ideology very well known with other statements that she has made since 9/11. Such as advising 9/11 victims to "get over it" just a few days after the event. That sort of annoyed me and left a very bad taste in my mouth for this complete dim-bulb. The little twit should keep her mouth closed as she obviously doesn't have a clue.

Expressing an opinion that you obviously don't agree with is "stupid?" Well, that's nice.

Have we no standards at all?

Judging by some of the replies on this thread, evidently we do.

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.

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.

Hey dangus... newsflash... demons are real.
