Nothing new really, but thanks for the warning.

Freepers who spam the religious forums could make this a hit!

I can’t remember the last time I watched “Comedy” Central. If they want to be vulgar and act like white trash, its their business. Its always easier to get a laugh from dolts when you spew profanity than it is to work on real comedy.

Yeah, I haven’t bothered with them for years. MeTV and the old classic TV shows are better humor than a lot of what’s on Comedy Central nowadays.

You mean the “faith-baiters,” the religious form of race-baiters?

We were watching a MIDSOMMER MURDER last evening and one of the characters was very religious. I turned to the wife and said he is the killer.

It seems anytime they have a religious person on this show they are most likely to be the killer.

(I was proven correct)

Hollyweird would never put an Imam in such a storyline or joke.

To the point where anytime a Catholic Priest is portrayed accurately and respectfully on TV or in movies, it makes me do a double-take.

It’s almost comical how liberals who trash “Faux News,” will often cite commentary and “reports” coming from Comedy Central.

As Bishop Sheen observed, “There’s no anti-Catholic like a former Catholic.”

If anything is “Faux” News, it’s the All Barack Channel, CBS, the commie news channel, and PMSNBC, but not Fox News

Movies and TV have portrayed Christians as evil and villains for years. I remember watching the 1980’s movie Misery and the evil woman character (Kathy Bates) was of course wearing a cross. It was common back then.

I notice that this doesn’t stop people who claim to be Christians from watching the shows and going to the movies. People seem to have not the slightest idea that it’s bad for their children to watch this stuff. I’ll add the clergy to that. I’ve heard not a single homily on raising children to be Christian and that TV is one of the enemies of that.

On the plus side, this is the only negative portrayal of homosexuality in the media.

Remember when Hollywood gave us “The Fugitive” from John Ford? Henry Fonda? Any Catholic should see that. And anyone else broadminded enough to realize that that story could feature any stripe of Christian should see it too. Chilling how far we have moved down that road.

Times sure have changed.

After a decade-plus of reform by the Catholic Church -- including an order to priests to break the seal of confession to report child abuse --

Is this "kosher?" I thought the seal of confession was absolutely inviolable for any reason and that any priest who broke it was excommunicated with anathema.

This is the first time I've ever heard of an order to violate the seal of confession.

The seal of confession is absolute, no priest can violate it.

Do you mean The Fugitive with Harrison Ford? not John Ford. The only “The Fugitive” I am familiar with the TV series with David Janssen
