There is Nothing Fabulous About Blasphemy, Protest Now!

Foreword

It is called “The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told” and it is a play that will show at the City Theatre in Austin, Texas from June 10-July 4. The title, however, is deceitful since there is nothing fabulous about this story which portrays the Mother of God as a lesbian.


In face of this outrage, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property and its America Needs Fatima campaign are sending email protests to the theater asking for the show’s cancellation.


Send your e-protest message to the Austin City Theatre.


Press reports say “The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told” refers to Our Lady as a lesbian. It presents a homosexual version of the Old Testament, with scenes of “Adam and Steve” in full frontal nudity. According to The New York Times, the playwright himself is a homosexual, and this is how he describes his play:

“I wanted the Garden of Eden in Central Park, and Mary as a lesbian mother, which would certainly help me comprehend immaculate conception.” (The New York Times, 12/6/98)

Such a distortion of the Immaculate Conception and other Catholic belief cannot go unopposed. In its call for protest, the American TFP notes that protests can be very effective. Similar protests have led to the cancelations of the play “Corpus Christi” play at two theaters. Also, Planned Parenthood was deleted from the websites of two Catholic universities due to TFP Student Action protests.

These protests only work however, if thousands join in and send the message to cancel this insult to Our Lady now!


Please send your e-protest message now.
