Céline Dion recently launched a gender neutral line of childrenswear with theNununu. We thought it was great, but apparently the guys at at the National Catholic Register aren’t happy. Okay maybe that’s an understatement, considering Paper Mag reports that they’ve gone as far as consulted with a professional exorcist and come to the conclusion that the singer is “doing the devil’s work.”
Pennsylvania-based exorcist John Esseff apparently believes that “The devil is going after children by confusing gender.” Adding that, “When a child is born, what is the first things we say about that child? It’s a boy, or it’s a girl. That is the most natural thing in the world to say. But to say that there is no difference is satanic.”
Patti Armstrong, who wrote the press release for NCR, goes on to inspect the promotional video and the catalogue and explains why it’s demonic. Like: “One pair of sweatpants has a number 3 on one knee and a 6 on the other. Three 6’s?” I think it’s a long stretch. But obviously, NCR is concerned. “If this were just another story of a celebrity engaged in the occult, I would not have given it my attention. But since children are involved, I am hoping that others will join me to pray for those poor children who have become pawns of evil and for the adults who are so ignorant,” Patti wrote.
Is it satanist or are they reaching? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
