KERRY CATHOLICS SAY BUSH IS THE “ANTI-CHRIST”
Catholic League ^ | 8/11/04 | William Donohue

Posted on 08/11/2004 3:05:12 PM PDT by swilhelm73

Catholic League president William Donohue commented today on the remarks made about President George W. Bush that are featured on the website of Catholics for Kerry 04:

“The home page of Catholics for Kerry 04 prominently lists comments by Wayne Madsden, who says, ‘George W. Bush’s blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs and his constant references to ‘evil doers,’ in the eyes of many devout Catholic leaders, bear all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of Revelations—the anti-Christ.’ He also charges that Bush ‘couples his political fanaticism with a neo-Christian blood cult.’

“This is the language of a demagogue, and it has no legitimate role to play in presidential politics. It is important to note that it is not the position of the Catholic League that the Kerry camp should be held responsible for this group of wacko Catholics. But at the same time, it shows how hypocritical the operatives in the Kerry camp really are.

“For example, it is reported by the Associated Press today that Kerry spokesman Chad Clanton is demanding that President Bush ‘condemn’ a book about John Kerry’s alleged fraudulent behavior in Vietnam, Unfit for Command. Why? Simply because one of authors made anti-Catholic remarks in a chat room last year (for which he has apologized).

“Now according to the logic of the Kerry campaign, it would seem only proper that John Kerry should condemn Catholics for Kerry 04: surely the nexus is tighter in this case than in the chat room quip. Indeed, this Catholic-Kerry website provides a direct link to ‘Contribute to Kerry Online,’ the official donation section of the Kerry-Edwards website.

“The subject of religion has been giving Kerry and the Dems fits lately. We hope their recent discovery of anti-Catholicism, however strained, suggests a new beginning. They can start by hiring a new religious outreach person who doesn’t cavort with anti-Catholics.”

Here's some of the anti-Catholic nonsense that Donohue defends against.

We've got our own bigots right here on FR.

Your understanding is faulty. Better go back and read the Bible, and ask for discernment this time.

So I'm assuming that this is the PRO-ABORTION branch of the Catholic church?

Haha, looks like the one on the main shopping street. We walked by that Micky D's back in April. I think we ended up at the Burger King though. Or the Shwarma.

Devout Catholic Leaders ? Who ? The members of Catholics for a Free Choice? These "leaders" may not know that the Catholic Church is not obsessed with discovering the Anti Christ and leaves most end time speculation to other Denominations. Maybe I should check the Vatican web site to see if they have announced the news that Bush is the AntiChrist.
Surely such a thing could not be secret for long.

---Your understanding is faulty. ---

Did you read the article? It's largely from the Smalcald, taken directly from the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod website. It's got nothing to do with "my understanding".

If I were a Catholic, I would RUN, not walk, as fast and far as I could from this group.

I am a Catholic, we are Millenarians, every bit as the Jehovah's Witnesses- but we don't admit it; what ever about about us being in the latter ages of the World; I do believe we are in the latter ages of the Western World, but if the the former idea is right- then those Kerry Catholics are pointing the finger at wrong man.

Pathetic losers all!

It's obvious they have not even read revelations because these are not the characteristics of the anti-christ.

Just by the fact that Bush is waging war on terrorist thugs and telling the UN to pound sand demonstrates he is not the deciever who will arise on a platform of world peace, world government, and one religion. Anybody associated with John Kerry is a lunatic and ignorant beyond comprehension.

Then if you have no understanding of what you are talking about, best not to post an opinion.

You seem determined to mischaracterize what I have said to you and what I have posted. I did not post an opinion.

The Pope said the same thing after meeting with Bush earlier this year.

Anti means against. I think these folks need to seriously look deep into the mirror. This bunch could be aptly suited to wear the Anti-Christ moniker if you ask me. they are against christians,babies ,morality, our country,our children,decency,truth,and a whole host of things to numerous to list.
