Well I am just shocked that you would use the qualifier “when no one has posted contrary to Catholic moral teaching” without first going back and re-reading every single post.

Shocked I say!

The thing is, I did scan through the whole thread. 🤷

Something to consider is that just because a poster is not confronted directly for lack of charity does not mean that no one opposed that person. If a person goes beyond the pale for charity, I do not opposed them, but report them. Note that the poster in question was banned. Obviously some members here took that route.

I see it as more than a little song and dance. the language used in the lyrics was garbage language that is not appropriate. In fact, I suspect you would be in trouble if you use that language on this forum. And it is an insult and offensive to Orthodox Christians as it would be to Catholics also to have criminals barge into your Church and perform with these lewd, garbage lyrics in front of an iconostasis.
Two years in a prison camp seems pretty lenient to me.

Not just this forum, but also most forums on the internrt and radio talk shows. :):)🤷

I was surprised at the apparent majority here who did not protest the 2 year prison sentence for these girls little song and dance, and who rather found such punishment justified, or even light.
I expected more charity, forgiveness, and mercy from a predominantly Western Christian community such as this. That is all.

Was what these girls did offensive? Yes, I agree it was offensive. I attend an inner-city Cathedral daily and so I’ve seen disturbances at Mass plenty of times. Comes with the territory.
But was what these girls did criminal, especially to a level of being put behind bars for 2 years? I certainly do not believe so. I believe that it is very counter-productive for the Church, and the government, and certainly counterproductive for those girls and their peers whose distaste for the Catholic Church will surely only grow as a result of all of this.
That is my opinion.

So this will detrimentally affect how these girls feel about the Catholic Church (the church was Orthodox)? I seriously doubt it. I don’t think these girls were on board with the church at any point. I don’t think it will have any affect on how they feel about the Catholic or Orthodox churches. They wanted attention and they got it.

was not meant seriously (hence the “!”). You may already realize that, but I just want to make sure.

I mean, we are talk about re-reading more than 100 posts right?

Yes, I got that. I really do make the effort to keep up with what has already been posted. We all know that have done this for a while that it is simply not possible to always catch everything. Perhaps me and Nigel just took a different temperature of this thread.
 
Great article that explains what the western media didn’t emphasize, or even mention.

This was pure religous hatred. No different to what others have done in history. They know that Putin is an Orthodox christian.

This feminist group in Ukraine also tried to attack the Patriarch of Moscow not to long ago.

What is this world coming to!!.

And the sad thing is that according to a news report, a White House spokesman and “Madonna” have said that the sentence was inappropriate and too long. .BTW, it was also reported that “Madonna” had stomped on an Orthodox cross during one of her concerts in Russia.
