Oh, so very much. So very, very much.

Church brands pope a Nazi
Charlotte Church, that is. The young Welsh diva has already upset a few people even before her Channel 4 chat show has aired. Insulting guests, dressing up as a nun and swallowing ecstasy pills like communion wafers, and calling the incumbent leader of the Roman Catholic church a Nazi - all in the pilot for the show.
This “Crazy Chick” could be one to watch.
God-muncher publishing co bans Church
We have already reported on Charlotte Church’s controversial new Channel 4 chat show. In the pilot, she called the current pope a Nazi, dressed up as a nun, and pretended to get high on Jesus-biscuits with smiley faces drawn on them.
According to the Daily Mail, the backlash has begun, with Ignatius Press (”the Catholic Amazon”) removing all of her work from its catalogue.
The Mail also has more on her alleged antics during the show, which included smashing open a statue of the Virgin Mary to reveal a can of cider inside, saying she worshipped St Fortified Wine, and sticking chewing gum on a statue of the child Jesus.
A spokesman for Ignatius said
It is with regret that we do this. Miss Church possesses a great gift from God, and in the past she has used her talents to offer praise and glory to our Lord.
But we cannot stand by a young woman who uses her stature in the media to mock the Eucharist, slander the Holy Father, and denigrate the vows of religious women.
Therefore, our catalogues and website will immediately withdraw all compact discs, cassette tapes, DVDs and VHS tapes that feature Miss Church. Please join us in praying for this troubled young woman.
But remember: always pick out any stray pieces of God-flesh from between your teeth before praying.

Apparently, turning the other cheek does not apply if you are struck by a virtual pie. Or maybe it's nothing personal, just business. Poor religious zealots, so threatened by one person's free thoughts. Suffer, suffer, suffer. That's all they do....
