Now, I’ll admit that when I heard there was going to be a horror show including nuns I just figured it was a documentary of the Nuns on the Bus. But I was wrong. It turns out FX is creating a show in which Jessica Lange will portray a nun (what could go wrong?) who’s pretty darn terrible to the inmates in her asylum.
The Catholic League reports:
“American Horror Story: Asylum” is the work of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk; they worked together on “Glee” and “Nip/Tuck.” Murphy is another angry ex-Catholic homosexual. Falchuk’s mother is the past national president of Hadassah, the women’s Zionist organization (one might have thought that at least he would have learned to respect other religions).
The plot is sinister. Sr. Jude, played by Jessica Lange, is a sadistic nun who beats inmates in a Massachusetts asylum. Set in 1964, Sr. Jude, who likes to wear red lingerie beneath her full habit, lusts after Msgr. O’Hara, who also has dark intentions. Inmates include a nymphomaniac, a lesbian, a degenerate bully, and Bloody Face (a serial murderer who wears the skins of his victims as a mask). We also meet Dr. Arden, a physician who is fond of torturing the mental patients; this explains why co-creator Murphy says of this character, “People think he’s a Nazi.”
There’s more, but you get the point: FX has decided to portray Sr. Jude as a monster who runs an evil Catholic home for the criminally insane.
When the Vatican attempts to correct wayward nuns and sisters, it’s eeeeeeeevil. But a television show depicts nuns as murderous evil religious wackos and that’s just hunky dory. Oh wait, it’s art. And that’s like way more important than the state of someone’s soul. Like it’s not even close. Duh.

Did someone in Hollywood think there was something original about this?
And how does she get her lingerie and get away with it?
And I might be a little uptight around the skin guy myself.

The real injustice here is making us think Jessica Lange is relevant and that anyone wants to see her in red lingerie.

I don't think we'll actually SEE her in red lingerie. Just mentioning it is more than enough.

Sounds as if the plot of ASYLUM might be as artistic and as relevant as those 19 minutes of THE INNOCENCE OF MOHAMMED.

Let's see if the President apologizes to the Catholic Church and begs the creators of this trash to can it.

Let's see if the Pope and bishops command that all Catholics involved with the production of this satanic filth disassociate themselves from the network responsible.
Let's see if they personally lead protests outside the sodomite executive's offices.
They won't.
There is no hope for this generation of prelates.
Persecution is coming, and our bishops will smile and dine with the perpetrators.

Matt, what makes you think that someone like Brad Falchuk would have any respect for the Church? He's a member of a religious/ethnic group that has been at loggerheads with us since 33 AD. Their religion is officially Anti-Christian. People like Falchuk never miss an opportunity to do the Church dirt. And as long as our mass media is owned and controlled by Falchuk's co-ethnics, we will see our faith smeared over and over again.

If every practicing Catholic cancelled their cable service over protest of this filth against our Holy Church, the executives of this filth peddling would get the message.
