I'll admit, he can go too far
sometimes, but Bill Maher isn't afraid to go after the Catholic Church, the largest business in the world, BY FAR. He told Catholics during his "New Rules" section of the February 15 episode of "Real Time", "If the Pope can quit, it’s okay for you to quit too." He then went on to discuss the resignation saying, "Now…as you all know, this week, Pope Benedict told Vatican Radio... he was going to resign because the Church needs a fresh, young face, somewhere other than a priest’s lap."
He then went on to compare his show 'New Rules' to the Vatican, where they sit around and make stuff up, such as 'No meat on Friday', THEN, 'this just in, God says it's OK!'. Tenets like celibacy, no women priests, the title of Pope, are all made up by the Catholics, but presented as if they came from God's mouth. Bill Maher tells it like it is, and some people don't like to hear it.
