Obama used the term "parochial" meaning "narrow, limited, provincial" which he contrasted with a "universal" view of moral relativism which he claimed was the higher ground for "coming together" on issues as enlighented freethinkers, of which presumably he considers himself one. That use of the term "parochial" is a slur and anti-Catholic. A traditional one of opponents of the Catholic faith and those who slander Catholics. Obama used it in that way.

In debates about Catholic colleges and universities, liberals and modernist dissenters have used the term "parochial" as a slur against orthodox and pro-life Catholics, invoking a parody of Catholicism.

Great analysis. I would love you to post a thread on his speech with your analysis. :)

Now I gotta run to Mass.
