Catholic Officials Demand An Apology From 'SNL''s Pete Davidson

Description

Officials from the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn are demanding an apology from Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson. This after Davidson compared supporting the church to being a fan of R. Kelly, who is facing a number of sexual abuse allegations. Davidson made the comment during the "Weekend Update" segment of "Saturday Night Live" in which he called Kelly "a monster who should go to jail forever." "But if you support the Catholic Church, isn't it the same thing as being an R. Kelly fan?" he joked. "I don't really see the difference, except, like one's music is significantly better." The Diocese of Brooklyn called Davidson's joke "disgraceful and offensive," and demanded an apology from the comedian. The Catholic Church is facing sex abuse allegations worldwide and recently held a summit to discuss combating such alleged behavior within its organization. Kelly has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
