Money Laundering?

I work for a bank and I know that any and all banks are not allowed to accept depositors that are on Money Laundering watch lists.

So now the Kenyan wants to place the Catholic Church on such a list?

This is an all-out assault on Catholicism and Catholics had better recognize it for what it is. In fact, Christians had better take notice. Obama is making his move here. He's looking to defeat Catholicism and Christianity while simultaneously promoting Islam.

meanwhile, looking into barry and how he came to have 042-68-4425 as his social security number is beyond the pale.

never mind explaining how someone with a foreign national parent could be natural born.

yup... must dedicate tax dollars and thousands of man hours into investigating the Vatican.

people need to just start saying NO.

Maybe Barack and Hillary think they can make a deal—call off the attack on the Vatican in return for the Catholic bishops caving on the contraception mandate.

Its all out war against the Church. Time for the Church to fight back. S tart by denying communion to all democrat politicians that support abortion and homosexual marriage.

With this move, Obama clearly signals that he doesn’t care if he sabotages his re-election changes. Playing his hand in this manner tells me he has no intention of allowing legitimate elections in November.

The Vatican Bank has been implicated in money laundering. Just a couple of weeks ago Italian investigators indicted four priests. Four Priests Charged In Vatican Banking Scandal
