British Blasphemy Corporation controversy claims its first victim as producer resigns

Sadly, the BBC producer who resigned was not the one responsible for this attrocity, but rather a concerned Christian who felt he couldnt stay with the BBC followng the screening of Jerry Springer The Opera he said-

“Having now watched the show in its entirety and the hour-long introductory broadcast, my conclusion was that the blasphemy was far, far worse than even the most detailed news reports had led me to believe,” Mr Pitts wrote in the letter, to the controller of Radio 3, Roger Wright.

In the letter he gave a definition of blasphemy and listed what he had found blasphemous in the broadcast, noting that “words even now do not convey the offensiveness of these elements in their context”.

His examples of blasphemy included “the ridiculing of the figure of Jesus on the cross, dressed to imply sexual perversion”, “the repeated mockery of the wounds of Jesus, linked to acts of crudeness” and “the singing of ‘Jerry eleison’ as a contemptuous travesty of an act of worship”.

Mr Pitts quoted legal authorities that defined blasphemy as “contemptuous, reviling, scurrilous or ludicrous matter relating to God, Jesus Christ, or the Bible, or the formularies of the Church of England as by law established”.
