Just Like A Prayer: Britney Hits The Confessional To The Displeasure Of The Catholic League

by Nicole

After blasting Kathy Griffin at the Emmy’s, and physically threatening Vanity Fair columnist Christopher Hitchens on a MSNBC new show, Bill Donohue and his Catholic League have set their sites on fellow instrument of the Devil, Britney Spears. The troubled songstress has upset the leader of the self proclaimed “largest Catholic civil rights organization" in the United States by featuring some sexy snaps in the CD booklet of her new album Blackout. The shots, were taken by renowned photographer Ellen Von Unwerth, whose work has been extensively featured in magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair. The erotic images show Spears rocking a saucy pose in a confessional and sitting on a hunky priest’s lap. Heresy indeed.

“This is all the puzzle pieces coming together. This girl is crashing,” said Catholic League president Donohue, in an interview with New York’s Daily News. “She’s not even allowed to bring up her own kids because she’s not responsible enough. Now we see she can’t even entertain.” Harsh words for a man in the forgiveness business.

Over the last month, on his website, Donohue has attacked Halloween costumers and haunted house owners, David E Kelley and his Boston Legal show, Cold Case, the now notorious yet utterly harmless “Chocolate Jesus” art exhibit, and the film Elizabeth: The Golden Age for their unfavorable depiction of the Catholic Church. And another Catholic leader said Britney was the one doing the “bottom of the barrel” stunts! We’re glad that minor issues such as AIDS, poverty, and global warming aren’t distracting Donohue from doing “Gods” work.
