They Call Our Lady A PROSTITUTE!!!
With All My Heart I Passionately PROTEST
The publisher Drawn & Quarterly, an independent publisher for Macmillan Publishers, has unapologetically published an illustrated book.
According to many press reports, author and illustrator Chester Brown contends:
- “the Virgin Mary was a prostitute,”
- “Jesus was in favor of prostitution.”
- “Christianity is the reason why so many people think prostitution is wrong.”
- “I think that’s what Matthew [the Evangelist – Ed.] is saying – that the Virgin Mary was actually a prostitute….And that there was some sort of religious association there, involved with religious prostitution and goddess worship and that sort of thing.”
Slate.com, while interviewing him about the book, stated:
- There’s a lot of nudity here—male and female—and probably a lot more explicit sex than people are used to seeing in biblical adaptations.
To which Mr. Brown retorted: "I think that people who are most likely to be offended by that are Christians."
This book is an unabashed attack on Jesus, Mary, and on the Christian faith.
