ARE YOU SERIOUS…. I mean its just a t-shirt, yeah its offensive, so what? why so much trouble for a shirt that is going to wear out… Fans are still going to wear it and look for it. I am catholic myself and huge fan, also I would love to have such piece of clothing on me.

ps. just dont let little kids look at it nor wear it to church.

From a biblical perspective it was written from the beginning that man was given by God free will in the form of deciding between right and wrong. The SPCS is effectively committing blasphemy in taking upon themselves the omnipotence and authority of the Almighty in depriving individuals of the right to choose. For it is written in the Book of Revelation, ‘Let Good do Good’ & ‘Let Evil do Evil.’ From the fall of Adam man has pursued evil in all its forms and for the SPCS to enforce ‘goodness’ upon society is surely a sin in the form of ’self-righteousness.’

Be aware, SPCS, that whilst you may expect others to conform to your standards, the Lord your God will expect you to conform to His.

This t-shirt has been around for over a decade and NZ bans it just now.
COF are a great band and the shock value is part of their image. I’ve seen people wearing this shirt in NZ so banning it is futile. People who already own the shirt prior to the ban will wear it anyway. Totally daft.

I Agree With Josh, i Mean i was Baptised a Catholic, But Almost 16, i Say, It Was the Bands Decision To Produce a Shirt Like this. We all do things that not everyone is proud of or like, Cradle obviously have their opinions about this stuff and so do most christians, as they would. but people should be alllowed to wear what they want and be proud of what they like witha passion, If it offends you so much then get a t-shirt and offend us right back, thats the way the world works, and in this case, Cradle of filth and All their fans spoke out.

The shirt would be considered offensive by christians, but then how can you possibly draw a line? Will the censor ban t-shirts with mohammad pictured on them? I hope lots of people import and wear this… in a free society you have to be prepared to be offended by people exercising their rights.
