Would you like butter on that?

In a stark example of anachronistic in-your-face parochialism, the Catholic Church condemned the (yet to be made) movie as an "offense to god." With the zealot's absolute conviction, a Vatican spokesman unabashedly explained, "We usually read the script, but in this case, it wasn't necessary; the name (of the author) was enough." Is the Church really concerned that the film may offend god, or are they more worried that it might arouse their slumbering sheep? (With an OG rating, watch attendance soar!)

Memo to Clerical Censors: god can edit for himself--if sufficiently offended, he will smite the offenders--he doesn't need your bowdlerizing!
