Harry Knox, an adviser to President Obama’s Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, is standing by a statement he made last March that Pope Benedict XVI is “hurting people in the name of Jesus.”

When asked on Tuesday whether he still holds that view, Knox said, “I do.”

In addition to serving on the president’s Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, Knox is the director of the religion and faith program at the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a homosexual activist group.

These people are hurting themselves,

and NOT telling them how they are hurting themselves
is far worse than being politically incorrect.

If 0bamination doesn't say anything (what to speak of kick him off the position) we know that 0bamination shares those views. Of course, we know that right now anyway.

All you have to know about Obama is he still has Kevin Jennings,(the gay,pedophile-worshiping pervert) as "safe-school" czar.

Oh, smart move. Pick a political fight with the most popular and respected Bishop of Rome since, well, the previous Bishop of Rome.

Obama won 53% of the US Roman Catholic vote in 2008. I guess he's hoping he'll be able to find those votes elsewhere in 2012.

what on earth would this admin know about Jesus compared to the Pope?

Also why not attack muslims who want homosexuals killed, why keep degrading Christians?

I’m not RC but I hope the Pope comes here and goes to a few cities telling RC that homosexuals are not doing a natural act nor should they be promoted

That is a disheartening and discouraging statistic. I blame the Bishops for a good part of that vote. Their "voter guide" was lengthy and convoluted in its arguments. What was it -- 8 or 12 2-sided pages long? In our church, no other piece of voter information was allowed. How can you equate killing babies with protecting our borders? Or promoting unions? Disgraceful and misguided.

yes sadly there will be as the media does not inform them or they’re just RC in name only.

why not pick a fight or make fun of those muslims who want to kill homosexuals, want to kill those who do not follow Islam etc?

nah Christians are easy for them, well it is high time we marched ion our millions on the white house and camp out there asking for this admin to either get rid of these radicals and bigots or ask for this clown and his wife to step down

if they did this to muslims they would march on DC and yet Christians just don’t do anything and there is the problem

Because everyone knows Christians are supposed to turn the other cheek, and won't be slitting your throats instead.

The long and short of it is, is that evil hates good because the good exposes the evil for what it is, simply be virtue of it being what it is.

That's why you see so much in the homosexual and arts community bent on perverting anything having to do with Christianity.

The midstream media will cover for their boy.

Priests and other Catholic religious and organizations should let parishioners know this!!

Remember, only 60% of American Catholics are non-Hispanic Caucasians. The other 40% we know voted 80% for Obama. It is therefore clear that the 60% voted about 70% against Obama, making it one of the largest bases of opposition.

(Shrugs). The Roman Catholic vote wasn't any "worse" than the national-average 53% vote for Obama, and represented a 13-point swing from the RC vote in 2004. So the Catholic vote probably had been moving in the Right direction, overall, in recent elections; I think that by 2008 you just had a lot of "Bush fatigue", even amongst Republicans, which dampened turnout for the GOP in "center/center-right" voting blocs like the Roman Catholics.

JMHO, that is. But if Obama keeps this stuff up, I suspect that the pendulum will swing back in 2012.

I always find it very odd that the same people who say we as humans can not regulate our sexual urges attack others for not regulating their food urges.

CS Lewis had a rather amusing section about that.

“These people are hurting themselves,and NOT telling them how they are hurting themselves is far worse than being politically incorrect.”

Never were truer words spoken.

For us Catholics, rebuking sinners is one of the seven spiritual acts of mercy.

Mercy.

Of course, those who celebrate this particular disorder insist on calling it hatred, but I wonder if even the looniest tooniest moonbat among them really believes that.

“I always find it very odd that the same people who say we as humans can not regulate our sexual urges attack others for not regulating their food urges.”

Evil pretty much incorporates all bad things, so one would expect hypocrisy.

That behavior is consistent, though, as excessive fattitude curtails an individual’s opportunities to insult God in that particular way, as they humpity bumpity their way into Hell.

Gluttony is a sin too, of course, but it’s not really as glamourous as having hundreds (or even dozens) of accomplices in fornication every year.

All that illicit sex, of course, has the side effect of producing “unwanted” babies who may be statistically more likely to be killed before birth.

And nothing sets the worshippers of Baal to tappin’ their toes and humming along with the music as much as the prospect of babies on the road to death.

The Pope is not hurting people. These people are hurting themselves by having rampant premarital sex with the danger of AIDS. If they (and the rest of the world) followed what the Pope teaches regarding sex, AIDS would begin to dwindle and disappear.
