The Vatican newspaper does not speak for the Pope. Archbishop Burke spoke, 70 U.S> bishops spoke, and that's plenty enough. Otherwise it is a parochial matter, and not comparable to the human rights concerns whatever they might be in Palestine.

Otherwise, why don't we demand that the Pope speak on the habit of the Notre Dame football players, few if any of them Catholic, of swearing every week on the field, or the habit of female students there to interject their cell phone conversations every 30 seconds with "Oh, my God!"

The country is lost worshipping whoever was just elected POTUS, his semi-literate idiot wife and his Jewish Svengali. More of those students there (@ND) listen to Simon Cowell than to the Pope.

If the Vatican newspaper does not speak for him, then he better disavow them publically - today. Doesn't that make any sense to you?

Obviously, not. Obama ripped a hole right through the heart of Catholic teaching in a very public speech that was broadcast around the entire world. Notre Dame honored Obama for it. The Vatican never released an official statement of condemnation. You keep telling me about these Bishops that mentioned something the week before Obama spoke. Obama was not dis-invited, and since his caustic speech, there has been nothing from the Vatican except an affiliated newspaper giving Obama praise!

Otherwise it is a parochial matter, and not comparable to the human rights concerns whatever they might be in Palestine.

It wasn't a "human rights" issue with the Palestinians. It was a direct statement from the Pope that Israel must capitulate to the Palestinians threats, give them land, and ignore the Muslim worlds promises of destruction.

Moreover, Obama's "sermon" to the Notre Dame audience attacked the dignity of human life. If you believe that is a "parochial matter" then there is not point in debating further.

Obama also redefined what a good Catholic is. See the National Review Online piece I posted on this thread.

Otherwise, why don't we demand that the Pope speak on the habit of the Notre Dame football players, few if any of them Catholic, of swearing every week on the field, or the habit of female students there to interject their cell phone conversations every 30 seconds with "Oh, my God!" Good heavens. You really think that is an equivalent argument? You think Obamas invasion into Catholic doctrine and teaching is the same as that? I am speechless.

The country is lost worshipping whoever was just elected POTUS, his semi-literate idiot wife and his Jewish Svengali. More of those students there (@ND) listen to Simon Cowell than to the Pope.

I'll let your words be your own rope.
