Here's an email I sent to Time-Warner today, re a Media Research Center Alert Bill Maher just called the Pope a Nazi and the Catholic Church a pedophiliac club:
"I am outraged that Time-Warner aired a Bill Maher program that openly defamed Pope Benedict and all people of faith.
--I am calling for an immediate apology and retraction of Maher’s comments.
--Maher called the Pope a “Nazi” and said the Catholic Church is a “child-abusing religious cult.”
--Maher is by extension attacking every person of deep religious beliefs.
--Time-Warner should not provide Maher with a platform for defamatory rhetoric that openly mocks people of faith.
I should point out that even CLTV, a here local cable station usually itself dedicated to Daley and Democrats, just reported 8 out of 10 Catholics approve of Pope Benedict XVI; yet, we all know the Chicago archdiocese which is ALL Cook and Lake Counties won't hang a picture of him, repudiates the Catechism Of The Catholic Church he gave imprimatur to as Cardinal in 1992 and which John Paul II so adopted 1994, and as clergy embrace gay marriage and hearty homosexual activity...and will throw out and do dirt, Church AND State, to anyone not obeying their words; jawohl, mein Fuehrers!
If Bill Maher wants to slam Illinois Democrats and their extreme minority view clergy out of step with 8 out of 10 people, as are many clergy who receive governemnt faith funds globally, he has a very good point but should take care not to over-reach and call ALL Catholics of such definitions or persuasion."
