I never heard of the other explanation; Jesuit spin-doctoring?
If Obama didn’t want Christian decor for his speech, why go to a Catholic Institution; aren’t there any mosques available in D.C. Isn’t there a zoo building or a firehouse or a bar or a whorehouse where there would not be any IHS or other suggestions of Christian tradition. Where is the outrage that this pandering to a president who is anti-catholic by Jesuits, the Order of the Holy Cross and others continues. Leftist sentiment trumps religion for the typical democrat.
Um...no. The fact that we're even debating this shows how miserable Catholic education is and how disconnected from tradition we have become.
