Obama DOES more closely represent the views of millions of American “Catholics”, and The Church heirarchy, all the way up to the Vatican, is much to blame for that.

The Church heirarchy(sic), all the way up to the Vatican, is much to blame for that

So the people are all just "victims", eh?

[Teotwawki]

I heard someone say that the Pope should be careful or Obama would fire him and take over, like what happened to General Motors. I think they were joking. Who knew?

There are Roman Catholics and then there are CINOs...
Unfortunately, there are more of the later than the former in the U.S. House and Senate.

Don’t we have laws on the books that say the government has the right to confiscate all assets that may have been purchased with money that stemmed from criminal activity?

Isn’t that the justification for grabbing land, houses, autos, and bank accounts of criminals?

Then why haven’t all of the Kennedy assets been seized since they all trace back to rum running profits?

[buccaneer81]

but Catholics back home won't care, because they know Obama's on their side.

This Catholic begs to differ.

They have it all BASS-ACKWARDS! The POPE is not here to REPRESENT the ‘views’ of American Catholics.

He is here to represent the ‘teachings’ of Jesus Christ.

If the POPE were here to represent the views of American Catholics, he would be in conflict with the ‘teachings of Jesus Christ’!

And....yes! ‘POPE OBAMA’ does NOT represent the teachings of Jesus Christ!

[Venturer]

I disagree.

If the abortionist (Obama) more closely represents America’s Catholics than the Pope, Then they should seek a new religion. They arent Catholic. That goes double for the Kennedy’s and Nancy Pelosi.

Maybe the Scientologists could use them.

Another “Catholic” who misbelieves that eternal truths are up for a vote.

“American Catholics do not want to be told by the Vatican how to think,” she said, citing opinion polls on homosexuality and condom use.

IIRC the Vatican has stated that its views on those issues are infallible. So you can either accept it or (formally)leave the Church.

Oh, that's rich coming from a Democrat! What the he!! is all the indoctrination in public schools about, Kennedy??

The POPE is not here to REPRESENT the ‘views’ of American Catholics. He is here to represent the ‘teachings’ of Jesus Christ.

Excellent point!

Has there been a more embarrassing name in the United States than 'Kennedy', over the last 60 years?  Talk about your rotted disgusting political family...

My sympathies go out to anyone who shares this name with the Hyannisport crew.


                          The following is directed to Freepers who haven't donated or signed up for monthlies yet...

22% is good.  100% is better.  You know you're going to do it.  Pull the trigger!  You don't have to pay it all now.  $5 now, $25 next week, $10 later... keep the ball rolling.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)

Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.

The Spirit Of Allegiance says, "For those about to donate, I salute you!"  So do I.

The hierarchy (satisfied?) has not clearly elucidated the correct view and consequences of improper adherence to the Church’s beliefs.

In today’s morally relativistic, no-consequences-to-be-paid culture that is more important than ever.

I am not referring to the self-motivated devout laity, but to the millions of casual catholics, who chicken and egg, have been allowed to become “casual”.

Well, BHO will need a job if the Congress can not fix that two term thingy in the next 7.5 years. And what better job could he have than Pope!

He’ll get to live in Europe, have people worship him, and with every action he will still get all the conservative to yell ‘Jesus Christ!’

[Gerish]

What is it with the Kennedy family? Are they all bound and determined to opt for their own wills, for their own kicks, sins, and selfish indulgences? She is taking her own puny will and holding it up for everyone to see against the Will of God, against the Will of the One who gave her existence, only to prove herself to be mere fool.
