America’s Catholic Leagues Protests Britney Spears Virgin Mary Role

December 13th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Tagged as Britney Spears · Movies

Leaders of a Catholic group are outraged by claims that Britney Spears is in talks to play the Virgin Mary in a spoof movie based on the birth of Christ.

French producers want the troubled pop star to take the lead role in new film Sweet Baby Jesus - about a pregnant 19-year-old who goes into labour alone on Christmas Eve. Officials at America’s Catholic League don’t want the kooky mother of two affiliated with the Virgin Mary-or anything else related to the Holy Bible.

President Bill Donohue tells the New York Daily News: “She is seriously miscast. She would be better suited to play the lead role in a flick called Monica (as in Lewinsky). If she did, the Catholic League would be delighted to send her a box of cigars.”

ironic… religion continues to judge and persecute. always throwing stones. what happened to god loves everyone and all they need do is repent, how do we know of Britney’s redemption? it isn’t fair for them to cut her out just because of her personal life in the tabloids… wow i am sure there are some people pointing the finger at her, if they had their life plastered in the tabloids we’d be forgetting about britney pretty quick. some sick people out there, and here we are persecuting britney over her hair extensions and alleged bad mothering… as far as i’m concerned her children werent born crack addicts and they are alive… says a lot more than mothers who drown their children and girls who give birth on toilets… even they get more redemption than britney, huh?
