With filth like this, I almost would sign up just to cancel it again in protest. <BR/><BR/>Of course, the sad truth, as everyone knows, is that with scant few exceptions (e.g., EWTN), television is no longer safe for Christian viewers. <BR/><BR/>What is needed is prayer. Cancel the service, yes; but also pray. We need prayer and the intercession of the saints to save this corrupt and dying culture. If not, we stand like St Augustine watching the rising tide of barbarity continue its destructive course. Then again, perhaps that is precisely where we do stand. Perhaps that is part of the Holy Father's message that needs more of our attention.The Byzantine Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945910148988040295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-66230834829578538062008-04-21T18:39:00.000-05:002008-04-21T18:39:00.000-05:00Chances are, HBO won't fire Maher (though if enoug...Chances are, HBO won't fire Maher (though if enough people actually cancel, they might just for the purposes of keeping the bottom line where they want it). Honestly, I am pretty sure that his anti-Catholicism was well-known enough before they gave him his show and that HBO simply doesn't care. But you're spot on saying that if it were Muslims it wouldn't have ever happened. I believe it's Mark Shea who points out that this kind of garbage happens precisely because we don't riot in the streets and issue decrees that Maher should be executed.<BR/><BR/>There hasn't been much on that channel that I'd want to watch in eons. Most of it is sex, violence, sex, anti-Christian sentiments, sex, and violence. ugh.<BR/><BR/>Naturally, we should also pray for Bill Maher, since he's a fallen away Catholic. (Is it bad that it occurs to me that our prayers for him are probably most annoying from his perspective?)<BR/><BR/>God bless you, Father.Christine the Soccer Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270550419011368834noreply@blogger.com
