@VanTammen As to wonderful father, his legacy was tainted by a son’s book which was at best muddled by his jealousy about Bing’s second wife (after widowhood). I’d rather be influence by Bob Hope’s assessment of Bing’s character. All things considered, you’re obvious anti-catholic bigotry is noted. Catholic church got more press, but all religions have their pedophiles.
@Eagle027 Bing Crosby: Straight as light and a wonderful father, a role model of yours I presume?
@Eagle027 actually you’re the asshole, because in a non prejudice way, that was exactly what I was saying, that at the modern light a “gay padre” is actually a polemic thing to say with all the pedophile… I was stating how in a way it’s funny that modern society could change the view on such an inocent movie… but I guess you are to worried to insult people to stop and read what they actually wrote… judging and throwing insults not very catholic of you if you ask me
@VanTammen Bing Crosby was straight as light, you anti-Catholic bigot. Asshole, before homosexual restructuring of our society, gay meant happy.
Bing as the Gay Singing Padre! ha, one has to love the irony of “word changing” through out the years!
