Nicki Minaj & Satan's Grammys
What do Nicki Minaj, Satan, The Catholic Church, and the Grammy's have in common? The answer is in this video...
This performance was a direct assault on the Catholic Church. Personally I was not too surprised by this given the entertainment industry's anti Christian bias. However, I was outraged, this was personal. Nicki Minaj was mocking Jesus, my beloved Catholic church. I am an artist and I love music, but when art begins to glorify the profane it simply isn't art anymore. Just imagine if this performance was set at a Jewish synangogue with young boys recitting the torah while provocative women were shoving their bodies with their legs spread accompanied by the whimpering words of a rabbi who has no power to stop the seductive she devil. Or imagine this performace taking place in a mosque with men praying on their rugs with women grinding in front of them, distracting them from praying. I would argue that it would have never aired because it wasn't politically correct. But when it comes to Christian bashing there is a double standard.
As Catholics we need to rise up, organize, and begin to fight these cultural wars. Where is the outcry, why isn't anyone covering this? I understand the concept of ignoring things and letting them fizzle out, but the Catholic church has taken too many blows lying down. I intend not to be one of those people lying down. Come join me, let's begin to fight back. Here are 2 simple ways to fight back:
1) Forward this post to as many people as possible
2) Boycott all of Nicki Minaj's products and recordings
Vivo Cristo Rey!

Marco, I felt exactly the same way you do! It was very uncomfortable to watch and very offending!Jana
