Well this is entertaining ... sorta

The Vatican has recently filed a formal complaint to the Israeli government after a private Israeli TV station broadcast a show that ridiculed Jesus and Mary. This really is one of those 'pick your poison' sort of stories, isn't it?

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican said Friday it has formally complained to the Israeli government about a private Israeli TV show that ridiculed Jesus and Mary in an "offensive act of intolerance."

In Israel, the television station assured the Israeli foreign ministry that the segment would not be shown again and that its host, well-known Israeli comedian Lior Shlein, had apologized.

Not that this story really interests me in a particular way; it's just rather deliciously ironic that one horribly intolerant and close-minded group with a ton of blood on its hands should complain against another horribly intolerant and close-minded group with a ton of blood on its hands ... Oooh, the irony ... (or hypocrisy ...)
