The Satanic Temple display in the Iowa state capitol building is not protected by the First Amendment, a Catholic legal expert told CNA.
Andrea Picciotti-Bayer, a legal analyst for EWTN, told CNA that the display installed at the request of a prominent atheist group is not religious expression but rather about making a mockery of religion.
If parody isn’t protected speech then Weird Al is in a boatload of legal trouble.
He’s one of the few who asks permission.
Maybe the satanists could do whatever they want and just ask for forgiveness after? Ya know, like any Catholic fuck might sin and do wrong onto others and only feel bad when praying to skydaddy.
Good point, but this isn’t a parody, no matter what the Catholics say.
