Hard As Nails "catholic" Ministry

[PapaHilarious]

Anybody see the ABC segment about this group or the HBO documentary?

Yelling at kids who have attempted suicide or calling people out because they're fat? My wife and I were laughing and rolling our eyes until the lead "minister" mentioned being Catholic. Suddenly it was much more embarrassing than funny. *sigh*

'Unordained priest'??? What??? The man seems about as Catholic as my washing machine.

[Adrestia]

He sounds manic.



but then again, so does John Kitna sometimes...

Is your washing machine Catholic?

[prose]

I dunno... He probably doesn't call himself a unordained priest. That was probably an uneducated journalist. It seems like some of what he does could be effective. He doesn't call people Fat just to do it (from what I understand), it is in the context of: People call some people fat, some people tall, some people Catholic... etc. I think the article may have skewed him the wrong way.

agreed to all the points you made.

let's not jump on the judging too fast bandwagon, people.

[jeffpugh]

This is a pet peeve... someone drops a whole buncha youtubes and doesn't even comment.

[Lil Red]

prose commented before she dropped the youtube videos or do you mean commented on the videos themselves?

[Mateo el Feo]

Ahhh, nothing like an HBO documentary to teach people about Catholicism.

Hold on...I think I'm going to be sick.

LOL

[Noel's angel]

Watched the videos. He's still as Catholic as my washing machine. I've never seen my washing machine at Mass...

[jeffpugh]

I was talking about commentary about the videos. Noel's Angel filled in for Prose this time...

Having browsed their website I'm convinced that they're awesome.

A bit hardcore, but genuine and awesome.

[dUSt]

Check out their ministers:

One is Dan, from "God or the Girl" and another is Catholic rapper Oscar 210, who phatmass has worked with before.

It's not a 100% "Catholic" thing. Weird. Not sure what to make of it...

I checked the website, too, and looked under "ministers": one of them is the long-haired guy who carried the cross 20+ miles on "God or the Girl".
