Catholic Church leaders erupted into fury last night after RTE showed a TV skit calling God a “rapist”.
The New Year’s Eve Countdown Show screened the clip from satirical site Waterford Whispers, where a man in a white robe is led to court. Ex-broadcaster Aengus Mac Grianna tells viewers: “In another shocking revelation this year, God became the latest figure to be implicated in ongoing sexual harrassment scandals.
“The five-billion-year-old stood accused of forcing himself on a young middle-eastern migrant and allegedly impregnating her against her will.It was met with fury online with the head of the Catholic Church in Ireland Archbishop Eamon Martin slamming RTE for showing the clip. He fumed: “I am shocked that producer/editor of NYE Countdown Show didn’t realise how deeply offensive was a mocking news report accusing God of rape and reporting his imprisonment.“To broadcast such a deeply offensive and blasphemous clip about God and Our Blessed Mother Mary during the Christmas season is insulting to all Catholics and Christians.”Another added: “And our licence fees are paying for this offensive rubbish. Time to switch channels.
