After saying Obama on ‘similar path’ as Hitler/Stalin, Illinois bishop hit with IRS complaint

PEORIA, Illinois – After a fiery homily last weekend urging the faithful to oppose [Alleged] President Obama’s “radical pro-abortion and extreme secularist agenda” at the ballot box in November, Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria has been hit with an IRS complaint from a national secularist lobby group.

At a gathering of Catholic men on Saturday, the Illinois prelate had slammed Obama’s mandate forcing religious employers to cover contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortion-inducing drugs. The unprecedented attack on religious freedom, he said, signaled that the president “seems intent on following a similar path” as past dictators such as Hitler, Stalin, and Otto von Bismarck.

“This fall, every practicing Catholic must vote, and must vote their Catholic consciences, or by the following fall our Catholic schools, our Catholic hospitals, our Catholic Newman Centers, all our public ministries - only excepting our church buildings – could easily be shut down,” he said.

On Thursday, the Washington-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State claimed the homily violated federal law by taking sides in a political campaign.

The bishoup made a couple of understandable mistakes. First off he figured we have freedom of speech in the 0bamanation, secondly he isn't preaching black liberation theology, so he is subject to government censure.

I listened to an excerpt of his homily and the part I heard was spot on. BTW he didn't compare Zero to Hitler , he essentially said we were following the same path.

Pay attention Christians and all people of faith! If this isn’t you, it soon will be. Organize voter registration drives in your churches and encourage people to vote like their freedom depended on it.

The Obamabastard is the closet thing to a dictator America has ever seen.

In a second term, he will turn out to be the American Hugo Chavez.

At a gathering of Catholic men on Saturday,

It was a Saturday "gathering" rather than speaking from the pulpit during Sunday services. That makes it a non-church meeting, at which he has the same right to say things about Obama that I do.

That's exactly right.

And if churches would abandon their phony, corrupting IRS designations, the pulpit could tell the whole unvarnished truth too.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

‘bout time someone in the Chruch spoke up...black churches have been using the pulpit for generations...demanding their membership support Democrats...I guess that’s OK...but when a white Catholic speaks out the IRS is all over it.

Obozo’s eyes, ears and operatives are everywhere uncovering nation-threatening espionage such as this. This bishop is just another traitor stiring up doubt and distrust over our beloved and benevolent leader.

This is so refreshing to know that this man will be hounded into a monasterial refuge knowing full well that he could have been executed for slurs against Dear Leader and his benevolent policies.

Just remember America: there are eyes and ears everywhere waiting for the traitor to Hope and Change.

Pardon, but what does it mean to be "been hit with an IRS complaint from a national secularist lobby group."

Calling foul on the headline, whoever wrote it.

Its good they complain.1) It gives his sermon far more publicity and effect than it could have ever had in Illinois. 2) Decent people have the opportunity to wonder why if the bought off preachers like Sharpton and Jackson are free to speak, then why is the government trying to stifle others. Bring it on.

Looking at your tagline I couldn’t help but wonder why you don’t want to be brought together with those that support Obama and his way of unification. After all, he and his followers love us and want this nation to be unified. The only way that’s going to happen is if you keep your rhetoric to yourself and go along with those zealots who think we have a White Hut occupant who is indeed divine.

You know that deep down you like communism. Think of all we’re missing: (of course in many ways we’re practically there)spying on one another, intrigue, watching anti-obamaites rounded up to be shot. Bravely staying out past curfew knowing we could be shot on sight.

Ah, Communism. It can be wonderful.

Let's not forget that the Barrett Report is still, to this day, under seal. A seal that can be broken by any member of Congress yet neither party will allow it to be opened.

I wonder why?
