AppleTV+ airs blasphemous show episode, here’s a way to respond.

If you haven’t heard, AppleTV+ has this new show called Your Friends & Neighbors. In a recent episode two characters break into a church, open the tabernacle, and snack on consecrated hosts while sitting in a pew. They even dip the hosts in jam.

It’s really disgusting and I can’t even bring myself to watch the scene.

If you want, CatholicVote has created a form letter expressing outrage over the scene, demanding that the episode be removed and Apple publicly apologize for the blasphemy, suggesting at the end that we’ll consider our future patronage of their brand based on their response.

As a life long Apple user I was gonna write my own letter but they honestly said everything I was gonna say anyway so I just used theirs.

Tired of the medias hypocrisy. They would never attack Islam because there’s too scared.

It doesn't matter what the plot is. This is something that should never be done, even fictionally depicted on screen. It is heinous blasphemy.

(staff edit) the consecrated hosts inside the tabernacle are the true body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The second person of the Holy Trinity. The Son of God. To do anything but receive one in a worthy manner with the utmost reverence and adoration is beyond the pale. Even in fiction.
