Fox News Host Asks Viewers, ‘Could a Lesbian Virgin Mary Be Coming to a Church Near You?’
Fox News fill-in host Rachel Campos-Duffy expressed disgust on Tuesday night at a priest in Italy who created a nativity scene depicting the Virgin Mary and another woman instead of Joseph.
Father Vitaliano Della Sala arranged the display because “there are so many ways of being a family,” he said.
“This year I see the light of Christmas also shining on these families affected by inhuman and anti-evangelical criticism and condemnation,” he wrote on Facebook.
The display came a week after Pope Francis approved blessings for same-sex couples, so long as they do not mimic marriage.
Campos-Duffy criticized these recent happenings on the Italian peninsula.
“Well, it’s not just our politicians and the media that are waging a war on the story of Christmas,” she began, leaning into the years-long “war on Christmas” narrative on the right. “It pains me to say that it’s also happening inside of the Catholic Church. Churchgoers in Italy were shocked to find a lesbian nativity scene inside of their parish this weekend.”
The guest host then described the scene:
A cardboard cutout of the Virgin Mary draped in pride colors. Now, the priest in that church says he put two mothers in the nativity scene because, you know, “there are so many ways of being a family.” That’s a quote from him.
Now, could a lesbian Virgin Mary be coming to a church near you now that the pope has approved blessings for same-sex couples? If Pope Francis has failed to protect our sacred doctrines and traditions, at least one church – the Church of the Latter-day Saints – is bringing the true spirit of Christmas to all places including Times Square.
She then played a video of a Christmas ad aired by the LDS.
