Catholics attacking Larry David and CYE

People are so misguided and simply make up facts. If you saw the episode, LD did NOT urinate on Jesus at all. That wasn't the intent of the comedy, and only in the twisted mind of those who believe all non-believers will be rotting in hell could the case even be made.

Still, some of the self-righteous comments are pretty funny...

I saw the episode and it was hilarious.The Catholic Church is always crying about something. They are always the victim.I will be very disappointed if Larry David breaks down and apologizes.

"'David's best years are behind him,' Donohue said, adding 'he ought to quit while he's ahead.'"

Couldn't the same thing be said about the Catholic Church?

P

I think the bigger problem with someone doing that to a picture of Mohammed is that you aren't supposed to have a picture of Mohammed in the first place.

William Donahue is not "the Catholic Church," he's William Donahue of a crazy right wing Catholic media watchdog group that's just a GLAAD equivalent from the other side of the continuum (that uses many of the same strategic tactics).

He thinks all representations of "The Holy Family," "Jesus" or "The Crucifixion" are inherently Catholic and anything he perceives as an affront to those representations as "anti-Catholic."

I have to say Michael Moore's movie "Capitalism: A Love Story" starkly reminded me of the work of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Workers movement with its commitment to social justice. I was completely unprepared for three priests to be among "the good guys" in that movie. It was an important reminder to me that loudmouths like William Donahue speak for nobody but themselves.

Um, yes, that was my point. I appreciate the echo.

Remember the Seinfeld episode when Kramer (accidentally) set fire tothe Puerto Rican flag, then stomped on it (in order to extinguish the fire)?

Puerto Rican groups protested, and the episode was pulled from reruns and syndication for a few years.
