that the religious leaders should listen to “enlightened” Catholics who accept the president’s terms, reports Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

Well its is likely Satan accepts the president’s terms. I doubt the religious leader will listen based on that either.

“Enlightened” = “Fallen Away and Don’t Really Give A Rip”

When this White House talks about “enlightened” anyone, they are talking about those who have come around to Lucifer’s thinking, evolution, humanism, and throwaway values. They aren’t talking about the intellectualism of high conscience.

Doesn’t the commie Chinese government maintain its own “Catholic” church, complete with government approved priests and bishops?

You can ALWAYS find a useful idiot somewhere to parrot lib propaganda.

Especially when the media DOESN’T DARE to ask the obvious questions.

Unless the statement is about GAYS, of course.

To: NYer; All
Clearly, the term "enlightenment" is not the appropriate word to be used by this Administration. As a matter of fact, should "the People" become truly "enlightened," this Administration and its policies of coercive power and force would not be tolerated.

Hear James Madison, the "father" of the Constitution:

"Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant—they have been cheated; asleep—they have been surprised; divided—the yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson? ... the people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government, they should watch over it ... It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free."

No compromising with Obama. Just as well, since he’s proven himself to be a double-crosser and a president who exhibits utter contempt for the First Amendment.

Time for USCCB to sue. And no more initiatives to make compromises with snakes in future.

Cardinal Dolan:

It is time to call these enlightened Catholics what they are.

Episcopalians. A religion founded by a man who beheaded a number of his wives for failing to bear a son.

Thank you.

Cardinal Dolan, you have more power over many of these politicians than anyone. Excommunication! Otherwise, I’m not impressed.

“Enlightened” means “doesn’t actually believe”. The libs don’t mind “identity” Christians and Jews, who make no attempt to walk the walk. But, for those Christians and Jews who really believe scripture and believe they must live by it the libs have only contempt and murderous thoughts.
