fides quarens intellectum Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 [url="http://www.christopherwest.com/videos/default.asp"]Link to a video of Christopher West talking about Katy Perry.[/url] You do have to do a sign-in in order to watch it; video is about ten minutes long, but worth it, in my opinion. Personally, as much as i can't stand hearing that song when i'm at the gym, i just want to jump up and cheer when the Christopher West video hits about minute eight and he says, "I am sick and tired of this puritanical BS that passes for Christianity." Anyway, enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbbabespx Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 My friends and I, after the Papal Mass at WYD made up new lyrics to this song, but kept the tune. "I prayed with the Pope and I liked it, the sight of his cherry red shoes. I prayed with the Pope just to try it, I hope my atheist friends don't mind it. It felt so right, it felt so holy, don't mean I want to die tonight." hehe (PS. Thanks for the video!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjtina Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 you just have to put in an email.... but that was soooo true. We should have compassion and yet we teach our kids to discern what is good and bad in our society. We can't shield the youth from the world, we need to teach them how to discern what is good and bad and talk about it. great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonSlayer Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 For some reason I didn't go to to any of his talks at WYD, but I did see him the previous time he came to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attention from Chris West. Or attention from anyone, for that matter. Way to go. Much, much, much more pressing issues in the world that Katy Perry's stupid song.

Personally, i happen to find proclaiming the TOB pretty important in the scheme of things, but that's just me.

pan!c139 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Ever since I read about her at Plugged In Online, I've been disgusted with her. At the same time I feel sorry that she had to forget her faith and choose the life of fame. How sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOB is the at the forefront of a cultural change which would bring God's Kingdom here. If we can first believe our own selves, and our bodies are not "bad", then I believe that we will understand those around us much more than we ever would otherwise. Katy Perry's song is a perpetuation of the culture of death. Not just another "stupid song" as some would have it. A stupid song would be if I had a Million Dollars by the Barenaked Ladies. Wake up.
