Catholic League to Cheese Shop: Dont Joke About Mother Teresas Nether Regions
July 29, 2017 by Hemant Mehta
The Catholic Leagues Bill Donohue has been trying for days to stop what he claims is anti-Catholic bigotry at a place that sells cheese.
And thats not even the weird part.
The Bedford Cheese Shop, with two locations in New York, has this description of Brebirousse DArgental, a French brie that
oh, no one cares. Heres what the card says:
A B linens smeared silken sheeps milk square thats at once incredibly mild and deep in flavor at the same time. The texture is as close to heaven that we have found here on earth. Kinda like going down on mother Teresa herself, divine. Pair with a mineral rich burgundy and 5 Hail Marys.
Thats what most people would refer to as a joke.
Its not even really offensive. I mean
at least they said shes divine, right? That doesnt even qualify as anti-Catholic. Hell, its a compliment, really. But while shes a public figure, I could at least understand why some people might think it goes too far. If someone said they found that to be in poor taste and said as much, I would get it.
But Donohue, as usual, turned his anger knob to 11.
If the Bedford Cheese Shop did this to some other religious figure, the owner would be in serious trouble. But she chose to defile Mother Teresa, which is why there will be no physical retaliation. They should nonetheless be punished by everyone, not just Catholics: a boycott is in order.
Donohue wants to put the store out of business because his sense of humor doesnt match up with the store owners. (Though I would totally buy some mozzarAllah.)
