I haven't heard of this... Jerry Springer Opera? I know the Jerry Springer talk show came on for a few years here in the US..and it was basically him bringing on lots of crazy obscene guests (strippers, people cheating on each other etc.) There was never attacks on christianity directly within the show..from what I read it says it protrays Jesus as a homosexual..and a few other things..it seems a little different than the show I'm talking about.

The show is still on. I think it's been on for something like 14-15 years now.

It's a play about the Jerry Springer shows, if you click the link you'll find more info

There are apparantly 8000 swear words in it, and references to Christ our Saviour and to Mary our Blessed mother, in a wholly derogatory sense.

there have been over 40,000 complaints against it, and though the head of the BBC is Catholic, he apparantly reports that he doesn't have a problem with it.

I read somewhere that it has Christ portrayed as wearing a 'nappy' (diaper)
