Remember in the early '60s what happened to Lenny Bruce when the Catholic power structure found his satire tasteless and offensive, basically dangerous. They went after him full force and he kept getting arrested for charges of obscenity to where club owners started banning him, and the few who hired him paid him a meager amount while they made money off him from a fickle public who'd pay to just hear him say "fuck" and see him get immediately arrested. He died broke from a hot shot of heroin. He was Jewish and Catholics hated him. One of his most memorable lines is “If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses.” Bill Maher is the current Lenny Bruce. He consciously does Lenny Bruce, as do other lesser known comics. But unlike Bruce, Maher is rich, times are different, and he'll probably make this work for him and against the church.
