Catholics worship only the Triune God.

You defame more than a billion people with stunning facility.

That’s not what the old media will say and he gave them lots of fodder to work with...Zero got what he wanted and ND is left to pick up the pieces. They can enjoy their so-called victory today but pro-lifers which includes many Catholic schools, will not forget this act of defiance in a hurry.

You are correct, and, what about the ones that actually give birth and then discard the babies in trash cans, dumpsters, closets, etc. etc. etc.

ALAN KEYES: Because [Obama]’s evil. The explanation is very simple. He is an evil man. He fights for the culture of death. There were people across the street who support him who claim that freedom for women requires that they kill their children. That’s their premise. They want to build the idea of freedom on the notion of killing, when America is actually built on the understanding that life is an unalienable right and that our freedom is founded in respect for life.

So, I ask Americans to choose: Is this a country where our idea of freedom involves killing our children? Or is it a country where our idea of freedom involves respecting the life of those children, along with every other life that has the God-given unalienable right to be here?

Archbishop Burke Slams Obama’s Appearance at Notre Dame
FOX News ^ | May 8, 2009 | FOXNews

Posted on Fri May 8 12:39:12 2009 by TaxachusettsMan

One of the Vatican’s highest ranked clerics and a frequent critic of President Obama said Friday that Notre Dame is causing a “scandal” by giving the president an honorary degree and a platform to address graduates at its commencement next weekend.

‘The proposed granting of an honorary doctorate at Notre Dame University to our president, who is so aggressively advancing an anti-life and anti-family agenda, is rightly the source of the greatest scandal,” said Archbishop Raymond Burke, who is the prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, the Vatican’s highest court.

Burke, the former archbishop of St. Louis and vocal opponent of giving communion to politicians who support abortion rights, told Catholics at a national prayer breakfast in Washington, D.C., that “with unparalleled arrogance, our nation is choosing to renounce its foundation on the faithful.”

He pointed to several Obama administration decisions that he said have damaged “the fundamental society that is the family,” citing the repeal of the conscience clause, which prohibits health care workers from refusing to participate in abortion-related services; repeal of the Mexico City policy, which allows federal funding to be used abroad to provide abortions; presidential support of the Freedom of Choice Act, which prevents government from in any way denying or interfering with a woman’s right to choose; and support of the U.S. Population Fund, which he noted supports China’s one-child policy.

So be it. I am more concerned that I don't defame Christ.

You defame Christ, because the Church is His Mystical Body.

So be it.

And thus you admit your false witness against them. That's a start.

This will be spun as a non-event and marginalized AGAIN just like the tea parties....

Isa 59:14 And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.

I think the Students were afraid they would lose their diplomas if they acted in protest....why else would they act like mesmerized obots?

May God richly bless these “Nathans” that spoke out against Zero.

Nathan is the man who confronted King David over the kong’s adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of Bathsheba’s husband, the loyal Uriah the Hittite.

Wait a minute, this isn’t the CINO rectum who bills himself an expert in Canon Law, is he? If so, he’s only an expert on its perversion.

I thought my B-I-L was home in Birmingham today. :-)

But then, he’s from Indianapolis originally, and a big ND fan.

Oh. Right. That must be why he said the bread we break in his remembrance is His Body.

My bad.
