Catholics Protest Against Blasphemy
France — the country that American right-wingers like to call an atheistic cesspool — is in the middle of some serious Catholic protest. One of Paris’s most prestigious theatres was being protected by riot police and guard-dog patrols on Thursday after it became the latest target in a wave of Catholic protests across France against so-called “blasphemous” plays. Even the U.S. has been relatively free (knock wood) of this kind of protest since the heady late-90s days of Terrence McNally’s drama “Corpus Christi.”
