I remember watching that live. And I'm ashamed to say that I was still deep in slumber and was APPALLED that she disrespected a Christian man. I know, my eyes are rolled up into my own head too.
Right there with you. Didn't know then what I know now. My family are all Roman Catholic. I left that church in my late teens, but still found it appalling at the time.
Left the church, have never given up Jesus Christ. In fact my life and spiritual well being is much better now, and has been for many years. It's been quite a journey, and not an easy one, but my faith in Christ is stronger than ever.
My Catholic Church has a shitload of 6s / 3's / up-side-down , broken armed crosses / Knights of Templar crosses / Cross of Israel / broken winged angles - all over the inside of the building ( on purpose. ) I as well - blew her off as a kook after her remarks about the Catholic Church ! At that time . . . I did not realize how deep the rott truly infected the Roman Catholic Religion. We live ! We learn.
Well said. We are taught as young children; doctors are good and will do no harm, policemen are here to keep us all safe, priests/nuns are doing God's work. Trust all of these people blindly because why would they choose to do something to harm us? Well, we are finding out who what where when why people are doing very bad things to the world population. When we know better, we need to choose to do better.
Her call out of the rot in the Catholic church sticks in my mind

it's okay, we didn't want to know these things back then. She had courage.

Curious whether you left only the catholic church, or that also caused you to give up your faith in Jesus Christ as your savior as well.
I believe satan is at work in many many churches, attempting to pollute our personal relationship with Jesus.

I did the same. I was horrified like all the other sheep at the time.
And she was right.
Errr…me too.
Err meeee threee.
She had problems with sanity especially after losing her child ... but that does not mean she was wrong.
Same here, now I know. She was waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy ahead of the curve on that one.
She tried to tell us. We were all dumb and blind back then. If that were her only accomplishment (but it’s not) then Godspeed Ms O’Connor.
That SNL Live episode will not be forgotten!

Doing the sign of the cross also inverts the cross. It’s also unnecessary.
think they probably sent her to la la land for naming them :(
