I am not in favor of censoring anything. And I don't think most folks here are talking about censorship. Censorship is what a government does, not what individuals do. Every theatre company selects what to present and what not to. That's what I refer to.

I am in favor of not patronizing things that glorify what I believe is not worthy, and even protesting against them. I support the rights of (those) Catholics who protested Corpus Christi, and of course they are not obliged to go see what offends them.

When we talk about what cannot be produced, we are making an assessment of whether people would go see it, whether others would protest against it and whether a theatre wants to spend its resources on something hideous.
