NBC Blasphemes Catholics

Last week, NBC’s sitcom “Committed” decided that it was acceptable to trivialize and denigrate the Holy Eucharist and Catholic beliefs. I haven’t heard much about it until I read Michelle Malkin’s column – probably because there aren’t enough people who watch the show to complain about it.

At one point, the priest, who is portrayed as not knowing the difference between the Host and a cracker, goes to grab the “cracker” from a tray of appetizers; he initially balks when he discovers that it is the last one. Then he changes his mind, saying, “Oh, what the hell.” By far the most offensive scene occurs when Nate and Bowie accidentally flush what they think is the Host down the toilet.

It will be interesting to hear NBC’s excuse, if they decide to offer one. Perhaps they will just tell Catholics to relax and develop a sense of humor. If NBC acted this way towards Islam, Buddhism, or Scientology, there would be resignations flying.
