You’ve seen the latest video rant from Trinity featuring a Catholic priest in the lead role?
Apparently the guy is just what you’d expect to find in any Catholic parish [/snark]:
Ambushed by a Bill O’Reilly camera crew, Pfleger stated: "He (Farrakhan) has—first of all, he has not called Judaism a gutter religion of blood suckers. That is not what he has said because I have heard that talk. I stick up for Louis Farrakhan because he is another person that the media has chosen to define how they want to do it. And they demonize how they want to demonize somebody. I know the man, Louis Farrakhan. He is a great man. I have great respect for him, ho has done an awful lot for people and this country, black, white, and brown. He’s a friend of mine." (The O’Reilly Factor, Apr. 3, 2008.) Farrakhan spoke at St. Sabina’s on May 25, 2007. (Chicago Sun Times, May 10, 2007.) ...
Rev. Pfleger does not respect the property rights of persons who sell products he does not like. He "is known for climbing ladders to deface liquor billboards." (Crain’s Chicago Business, Dec. 20, 2004.) ...
In another demonstration at Chuck’s Gun Shop, owned by John Riggio, Rev. Pfleger told the crowd: "We’re going to find you and snuff you out....Like a rat you’re going to hide. But like a rat, we’re going to catch you and pull you out....We’re going to snuff out John Riggio." Rev. Pfleger also promised: "We’re going to snuff out legislators that are voting against our gun laws. We’re coming for you because we’re not going to sit idly."
Rev. Pfleger later denied that his words had been meant to invoke violence, or that he had known that "snuff out" means to "kill." Rather, the determination to "snuff out" Riggio was a determination to find out his home address, which was not publicly available. And if you’re willing to take Pfleger at his word, he’s more than just a guest preacher at Trinity: ... Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church in the Auburn- Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass set, he says.
"I always have felt in him this consciousness that, at the end of the day, with all of us, you’ve got to face God," Pfleger says of Obama. "Faith is key to his life, no question about it. It is central to who he is, and not just in his work in the political field, but as a man, as a black man, as a husband, as a father.... I don’t think he could easily divorce his faith from who he is."
Wonderful.
“Obama and his supporters say you cannot judge him by whom he associates with. However, why would anyone choose to associate with Pfleger, Wright, or Farrakhan? I don’t actually think Obama agrees with them.”
Begs the question, what do all these people see in Obama?
So it’s one or the other,....either Obama is in bed with the loony, racist beliefs of those his ‘church”, and the two lunatic “reverends” that have made the news, or he really is as naive and stupid as he can be, with no idea at all as far as his judgement is concerned. Either way, he is not fit at all to become President, or even dog catcher, for that matter.
OMG!!! Catholicism completes EVERY expectation!!!! It has EVERY answer...IF you sincerely pray for them!!!
You don't need to apologize to me, but to Jesus for rejecting the most wonderful thing He gave us....the Sacraments, especially Holy Communion. I pray that you will come home.
Obama is someone they can use; he’s shares some of their disdains too.
