Banned singers?

[truth_hunter_1]

I heard from my friends that there are Catholic singers who are now banned. (Like Charlotte Church) Is this true? I really don’t know if she’s banned or excommunicated.

I know that she’s singing a different type of songs now, but can we still listen to her religious songs recorded and performed when she’s still young?

How about Billy Gilman?

How can singer be banned? Is there any ecclesiastical process and announcement?

Their (religious)songs in their younger years were really nice.

Are they the one’s banned or their non-Catholic songs?

I really lack knowledge on news about Charlotte this past years. What certain occasion did Charlotte call Benedict a Nazi?

It seems Ms. Church did way more than call the pope a Nazi (not that that wasn’t enough): dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-396952/Charlotte-Church-faces-Catholic-boycott-Nazi-Pope-jibe.html.

However, even this would not compel her bishop to excommunicate her. Her actions were childish at best, disgusting at worst. It shows an immature understanding and a desire for attention, IMHO. She also dissed others on her show. I don’t see it lasting nor can I see how these actions will help her career. Hopefully, she’ll see how wrong and stupid they were and apologize.

This reminds me of Sin’ead O’Connor and her SNL stunt.

Does anybody know what particular episode of her show she blasphemed against the pope?

Probably as a result of being the child of a religiously mixed marriage. Unlike many you don’t get the impression that Bono is Christian In Name Only. Although some do complaign aout his language. It is only Adam Clayton’s refusal to committ which stopped U2 from being a Christian act in the first place.

The article in the daily mail states that Miss Church dislikes the Holy Father because he called Harry Potter books a “subtle seduction” which are “capable of corrupting young Christians”

Good Grief, He didn’t ban the books, he expressed a concern. Capable! Not Will!

Again an example of someone going off on a tangent because they don’t understand the Vatican’s concern about secular effects on children in non well catechized families.

I think the poster was simply trying to represent the acute accent in “Sinéad” as well as an English-language keyboard will permit without doing a lot of research.

Yeah, thats what I was trying to do. I’m Irish, I even speak a little Gaelic.

Edit: hehe I found out how to do it.
