Britney Spears mocks the Sacrament of Reconciliation

Above is a picture published on MTV.com taken from the album insert for Britney Spears’ new album Blackout. She is pictured in a confessional supposedly confessing her sins to a priest.

Thanks to Britney Spears and those who were behind the creation and publication of these images, our society has stooped to even lower. What has happened to showing reverence for the Sacred? Confession is a Sacrament in the Catholic Church and should be respected by all peoples. I would never condone any sacrilege in any other religion’s sanctuary, temple, etc.

The confessional is more than a room or space. It is a sacred place where the repentant Christian meets Christ himself to confess his/her sins. For the sake of those involved, I hope this is not an actual confessional shown in these photos. And I pray for the man who posed as the priest in these pictures.

Any action such as this is an insult to our Creator and the gifts he has given us!

I strongly urge anyone contemplating buying this album to rethink their purchase! It seems that supporting this album would be supporting everything in it, including the mockery of a Sacrament.
