Catholic League Mocks David Bowie's New Video, Calls Him a 'Switch-Hitting Senior Citizen'

[kpete]

David Bowie is getting a lashing from a leading Catholic advocacy group over his "mess" of a video for "The Next Day," released late last night with Vatican stereotypes like corrupt cardinals, philandering priests and a Christ-like crooner played by the artist himself.

Marion Cotillard, as a prostitute with stigmata and Gary Oldham as a priest beating a beggar are among the naughty Catholic characters, including a whore-hiring Cardinal and a monk getting flogged, who join David Bowie for a romp in his new video "The Next Day".

Surely Bill Donohue's panties will bunch over this.

It doesn't even deserve this post.
