Is there anything sacred anymore?

It's distasteful.

The Lord's prayer is very special to me and is something I would never make a mockery out of even in jest. It would be like my wife making fun of a love letter I sent her to her friends. Some things are special, some things are sacred.

OK, its not exactly nothing, but at least the people who wrote that are reading the Our Father (or know it...) I think it is distasteful and i wouldn't dare write such a thing because God would frown on it. But there are worse things people do that offend God... fornication, adultery, and all other sins which add up to idolatry: loving somehting or someone more than you love God.

i could tell you are not Catholic because Catholics (most?) don't get offended unless Christ himself is being profaned (or howevery you say it).

Christ is what is sacred, not just words.

what is really shameful in this world is people rejecting Christ by destroying the unborn... promoting homosexuality, etc

God doesn't just "frown" on that. He punishes it severely
