Outrage Over Unbelievably Vulgar Portrayal of Virgin Mary By South Park
By Hilary White

NEW YORK, December 9, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Three weeks before Christmas and on the eve of the Catholic Feast of the Immaculate Conception, producers of the satirical television programme South Park are under fire for an unusually vulgar portrayal of the Virgin Mary. The show, which is popular with children, has a long history of Catholic-bashing but this time, according to William Donohue of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, they have gone way too far.

The programme, titled "Bloody Mary," which aired Wednesday, portrayed a satire on the miraculous statue phenomenon. Accompanied by vulgar terminology, even by modern standards of acceptability, the programme depicts a bleeding statue of the Virgin Mary, but instead of weeping, the statue was bleeding from a lower bodily orifice. The characters are sprayed with blood and claims of a miraculous cure bring Pope Benedict XVI in person to investigate. The show is set to air for the rest of the week.

The Catholic League points out that the programme is produced by Comedy Central, a division of MTV and Viacom, a leading global media company and one of the largest media distributors of obscenity and a promoter of sexual license via their television programs, billboards and other media.

A member of the Viacom board of directors is Joseph A. Califano, a practicing Catholic and prominent public servant and chairman of the board of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. The League is writing to Califano demanding an apology to Roman Catholics and a promise that the programme be "permanently retired."

Article printed in the Toronto Star, CANADA

Will we still be the Country of choice and still be Canada if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in Canada because it is the Country of Choice?

Think about it!

All we have to say is when will they do something about MY RIGHTS?

I celebrate Christmas...but because everyone doesn't celebrate it...we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings.

It's not Christmas vacation. It's Winter Break. Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday?

We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with that. This says it all!

This is an editorial written in a Toronto newspaper. He did quite a job, didn't he? Read on, please!

IMMIGRANTS, NOT Canadians MUST ADAPT.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Canadians. However... the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct!" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Canada. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of Canada being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Canadians... we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH/FRENCH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

"We Stand On Guard For Thee" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, and political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women...on Christian principles... founded this nation... and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home.........because God is part of our culture.

We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. But once you are done complaining... whining... and griping... about our flag... our pledge... our national motto...or our way of life.... I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great Canadian Freedom... THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

It is Time for Canada to Speak up / If you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- delete it!

Editor's note - after you read this, then read the attached story that john has shared with us about a Costco employee

Dear friends and supporters,

As many of you are aware, this upcoming election will provide social conservatives with a voice and opportunity to repeal Bill C-38, the infamous legislation that seeks to erode marriage and the family. Now, more than ever in our nation's history, it is paramount that conservatives get involved in the political process. If we want to see a real change in direction for this country, we need only acquaint ourselves with one simple word - SACRIFICE. Our self absorbed and indulgent culture is leading our nation into moral and civil degradation. To address this imbalance, people of good will must sacrifice themselves for the good of the nation. I sincerely hope that we all do it during this election. Without sacrifice, our country will not turn around. It's that simple.

Although for the past three years I have become involved in the political process, it has never been my intention or desire to seek political office as a vocation in life. Indeed the requisite talents and temperament normally associated with such a vocation, I can honestly say, are absent within me. My motivation in getting politically involved has always been (and always will be) a matter of moral principle.

We all know that there are social conservatives today who have the talent to be effective politicians, but they have not come forward to stand up and be counted. This is especially true in my riding of Ottawa West Nepean. As many of you know, I was denied the chance to run as the Conservative Party's nominee by this Riding's nominee screening committee because my socially conservative views were politically incorrect. Apparently, drawing attention to the real and documented health risks of homosexual behaviour is beyond the pale in Canada's politics today. Playing brother's keeper is anathema. Playing see "no evil hear no evil", on the other hand, is where it's at.

As I have always said, politicians don't want to say, much less admit, the truth. They want that useless, painless jingle that sounds about right and can get them elected in a culture of self-entitlement. People then wonder why the country is in the gutter. The answer is simple: demand some moral integrity from yourself and from your politicians and you'd be amazed at how things improve.

Having denied me the chance of being democratically elected, the Ottawa West Nepean Executive instead chose a candidate that is not only for the heinous crime of abortion, but also for same-sex "marriage". By not compromising and choosing a more moderate candidate that social conservatives might vote for (like the previous candidate, Sean Casey), they effectively rendered social conservatives politically non-existent by choosing a same-sex "marriage" activist like John Baird.

In light of this political ramrod and as there are no candidates, to my knowledge, who are willing to publicly and vigorously oppose these destructive policies, I am seriously considering allowing my name to stand on the ballot to ensure conservatives have a voice in the political process.

In order to register my nomination papers and to gauge support for my candidacy, however, I need your prayers, financial support and time. I also need 100 electors to sign the "Electors Consenting to Candidacy" which is located at the bottom of this link. Simply print off as many pages as required.

http://www.elections.ca/pol/can/ec20010_e.pdf

Please do your best to get as many signatures as possible. Each elector must be eligible to vote in Ottawa West Nepean. The witness who initials the elector's signatures and signs the bottom of the form should be the same person.

If my campaign team and I decide to register, we will file the nomination papers and set up a bank account, which will then be available for accepting political donations. Donations are tax creditable according to the following rates:

75% of the first $400
50% of the next $350, and
33.33% of the amount over $750.

The maximum credit allowable is $650.

Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and prayers. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Praise Be Jesus Christ who humbled Himself to become man!

Message from Joseph Terelya

Victor Carvalho

Dear Friends,

We wish you the joy of this time of year as we prepare for the coming of Our Lord Jesus.

Unfortunately we have NOT met our target of 500 registrants by last month's end. We are at 342; a far cry from 500 let alone one million. Now that the elections are here, we need to move with added vigor.

We need everyone who believes in the CoL to come on board to make this effective. Please encourage at least an average of 1 a day to make this viable.

We have a printable registration sheet (see supporters link) that you can use to encourage sign-ups, especially during this Christmas season when you will be meeting with family and friends.

When people sign up online ask them to NOTE you as their contact as we would like to know what's working.

Please PRAY and PROMOTE our mission for the glory of God and to serve our neighbor.

We are counting down to self-destruction and don't realize it.
We should be committed & vocal. Time is of the essence.

This election like the past ones should NOT be based on choosing the lesser of the evils. We choose evil and God departs. We must learn from our mistakes. We cannot cooperate with evil and trust that God will help or grace us.

Evil; just to name a few:
1 Not acknowledging God, (What audacity)
2 Abortion (killing of a child) and now euthanasia (killing the disabled)
3 Deformation of marriage with 'same sex marriage' are evil and must NOT be condoned.

The Liberals, under the leadership of a 'catholic' have shown their true colors by condoning the above. Why does some one like his Bishop not give the PM an ultimatum? He has scandalized enough innocent souls to be free to continue. And their party is no better as we have all seen.

The Conservatives cannot condone or challenge one truth and not the other. Truth cannot be divided. Abortion is an absolute NO as is 'same sex marriage'. Both are either morally wrong or right. One must logically accept or condemn both. The Liberals make more sense accepting both than do the Conservatives accepting one and rejecting the other.

The other major federal parties are no better; see their records.

The CHP.ca alone supports the CoL. Do they have it all right? NO, but, they are on the right track.

My answer is to this dilemma is to:
1 have INDEPENDENT or CHP candidates register on the CoL platform (other candidates will have to leave their party to do so.
2 Rally behind these candidates 100% with prayer and action.

Anything short will be a fiasco of our moral integrity in Canada.

For those still on the sidelines; being so; implicitly condone evil. Being silent permits its continuation.

Please write back and have me remove your name from my list, which I shall gladly do OR sign on and actively canvass for the Culture of Life. Condoning death through abortion cannot be used as a strategy option. The Truth alone will set us free.

Please:
1 do NOT compromise with SIN (Abortion, 'same-sex marriage' and removal of God)
2 Register your support and convictions on our web site and promote it.
3 Prayer for God's grace.
4 Act collectively to replace the present government with CoL parliamentarians.

Please, come on board and spread the Truth.
Circulate this letter to all your friends.
We can with God's grace defy all the odds and succeed.

Yours truly!
