Anne Hathaway Quits Catholic Church After Pope Condemns Sideboob Display

Posted on | February 11, 2010 | 49 Comments

Wait, no — that’s not exactly the reason:

Anne grew up wanting to become a nun but shunned Catholicism when she learned her older brother, Michael, was gay.
“The whole family converted to Episcopalianism after my elder brother came out,” she tells the magazine. “Why should I support an organization that has a limited view of my beloved brother?”
But the Episcopal church plan didn’t really work out for her either. “So I’m … nothing,” she said. “I’m a work in progress.”

Anne Hathaway’s apostasy caused heartache for our Catholic friend Da Tech Guy, who had been proud to count Anne’s boobage among the flock of the faithful.

In related news, Da Tech Guy is continuing his CPAC fund-raising drive, and you should contribute, if only because he gave me a perfect excuse to post my favorite Anne Hathaway photo (and your favorite, too, I’m sure).

    Looking to Hollywood for intelligent thought on religion is like looking to the IIPC for intelligent thought on AGW – they seem to skip all the hard stuff and go straight to the conclusion.

    As an aside, my favorite – albeit false – Anne Hathaway story appeared at Ace’s place a while back. Boy, did that cause a ruckus. Good times…..

    Oh, dear.

    That could have been such a pretty dress, but it just doesn’t fit her quite right.

    As for the Catholicism: if you have the time and energy to read the Catechism, Humanae Vitae, TOB, etc., you would have a good understanding of why the religion does a lot of things that seem to be irrational or heartless. If you don’t have that time and if no one ever sat you down and explained everything, it seems irrational.

    A. What’s with the whole booty-sex fascination over at AOSHQ, huh? Me, I’m all about the vajayjay.

    B. I’m pretty sure the Pope condemns the Ace of Spades Lifestyle (TM). If not, he should.

    Oh, dear. When the Episcopal Church is too uptight for you…

    I volunteer to lick some sense into the girl. Spank. I meant spank.

    On second thought, I should probably be careful. Anne’s ex got locked up for writing bad checks. I’m not sayin’ she actually made him do it…I’m just sayin’.

    I have four brothers.

    I like them all, however I doubt I’d imperil my eternal soul by leaving Holy Mother Church so that one of them could feel no regrets about his pastime of being buggered.

    For what it’s worth, this woman looks hot in about half of the pictures taken of her – the other half are a bit strange and toothy for my tastes.

    In fairness to ace, he did issue a retraction when it was clear the article was bogus, and that whole snafu was during the depths of “Obama’s gonna win and we can’t stop him.” Many of his commenters didn’t get the appeal. And many of us didn’t go all in on the pudding thing, either.

    Really, the Episcopal Church did not do it for her soul?! As a hanger-on to the Episcopal Church, leaning to the Anglican Church of North America, it is no surprise. Once you take God out of the church, then what is left? Just being an open, celbutard Democrat.

    Since Richard Gere is a well-known believer of the religion which also states that the pricker only enter the proper hole the Dali-Lama must be comforted in the knowledge that Hollywood would never be extort, excoriate nor protest either himself, his religion or the believers.

    The Dalai-Lama can can find relief that the Pope and Catholic Church are the focus of the wrath of Hollywood’s Kongs thus avoiding any unseemly protests in front of the temples.

    This protection applies to Mohammed and Islam as well.

    I’m not Catholic however I do admire the Pope who is out there taking all of Hollywood Kongs wrath so that neither the Dalai-Lama or Mohammed have to.

    Another example of the exclusive, discriminatory and intolerant nature of Gaydom.

    Don’t get me wrong – I don’t condone the whole AoS Lifestyle thing (or go in for booty love, for that matter), but I do so love a good ruckus. I always appreciate a restrained, visible moral stance, too – you’re a good role model in that regard, Mr. McCain.
