Lil Red Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 [url="http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news?id=19836"]Source here[/url] 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".
Colleen Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I used to like her, but I'm tempted to throw out her CDs for those remarks. That's really sad, although it's not so surprising, considering the direction she took after her first couple CDs.... I believe she was raised a Catholic, though.

Lil Red Posted July 20, 2006 Author Posted July 20, 2006 exactly, LSW! what a better way to get publicity for your new tv show than to mock the old stand-bys of the Virgin Mary, the Eucharist, and the Pope.

[/quote] Instead of just throwing them out, send them back to her with your remarks and regards. That's the stance Rock For Life takes, and surprisingly, it seems to work. or at least has in the past.
Birgitta Noel Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Call your local PBS station now and tell them not to run any more Charlotte Church pledge specials. She'll hear that if PBS stops buying her shows!
homeschoolmom Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I guess she wants to shake off the "nice girl" image, but wow...
God Conquers Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Charlotte Church is a loser. Her music is no good anymore and she makes terrible decisions. I feel bad for her.
indescribable Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Ignatious (?) Press dropped all of her merchandise. She also made fun of the Holy Eucharist.
zunshynn Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 And to think I bought her album recently just because she sang Tantum Ergo on it. Yuck. I am going to send it to her. Broken. I was hoping to take that one with me to the monastery. Anybody know the address?

I would get rid of that kind of trash without thinking twice. I used to really love her singing. This makes me sick.
Fulton Sheen Warrior Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 +JMJ+ What do you even say to something like that? Even performed for Pope John Paul the Great... This sickens me.

thessalonian Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Freakin imbicile! Sorry. She needs prayers. Bigtime.
avemaria40 Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 i have a bunch of her songs on my iPod. I really liked her versions of Ave Maria, Tantum Ergo, Panis Angelicus and Sancta Maria
Guest Rick777 Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Wow, what a turn off. This is no different from that Sinead O' Conner incident. Oh the heresy! Among my favorite comments after that article was....."Charlotte Church, you need to be exorcised." Edited July 21, 2006 by Rick777
littleflower+JMJ Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 I knew there was a reason why I never listened to her music or brought her cds I'm sorry but it was all the majority of Catholics who really made her known. Who else would buy a cd of Latin and traditional songs??
