Author Teresa Tomeo urges actress to apologize for insulting Pope, Catholics

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (October 18, 2011) - Bestselling author Teresa Tomeo urges actress Susan Sarandon to apologize to Pope Benedict XVI and Catholics around the world for calling the Holy Father a Nazi � not once but twice � during the Hamptons Film Festival last weekend.

�No amount of foundation or age-defying makeup can hide the ugliness verbalized by actress and Revlon spokeswoman Susan Sarandon against the leader of the Roman Catholic Church,� said Tomeo, bestselling author of the new book EXTREME MAKEOVER. �Sarandon needs to apologize to the Pope and the Catholic community at large for calling him a Nazi, not once but twice. This is over the top even for Sarandon � who's not exactly known for her conservative views.

�Sadly, one has to wonder whether there truly will be an outcry beyond the many Catholics who are outraged � because of the media mania of today�s culture,� Tomeo said. In Extreme Makeover�s chapter �Media Mania and the Feminist Mistake,� she writes, �We are slowly but surely being desensitized by the messages.�

�The bottom line is that women � Sarandon and many, many others � have come to believe that it�s necessary to be �out there� in order to get attention,� Tomeo said. �Our culture has been offering that and other toxic messages to women for so long that many in the mainstream don�t even blink when they hear something as nasty as calling the successor to St. Peter a Nazi.�

In EXTREME MAKEOVER, Tomeo challenges women to tune out the toxic messages and truly begin to embrace the truth about their human dignity.
