SCHWARZENEGGER HIRES CATHOLIC FOE

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican candidate for Governor of California, has hired Warren Buffett as his financial advisor. Catholic League president William Donohue expressed his concerns about this appointment today:

“Warren Buffett is one of the most lavish donors to the nation’s most anti-Catholic organization, Catholics for a Free Choice (CFFC). Led by Frances Kissling, CFFC has twice been denounced as a fraud by the U.S. Catholic bishops. For many years, Kissling has worked tirelessly to downgrade the Vatican’s status at the U.N. Her non-stop attempts to discredit the teachings of Catholicism are known all over the world. Indeed, Kissling has expressly said it is her goal to ‘overthrow’ the Catholic Church.

“For anyone to bestow funds on an organization that hijacks the name Catholic only to subvert Catholicism is an outrage. It is worse when non-Catholic billionaires stick their nose into the internal affairs of the Catholic Church. By writing checks totaling millions of dollars to fund CFFC (in 2001-2002 alone, the Buffett Foundation awarded CFFC nearly a half-million dollars), Warren Buffett has shown himself to be the enemy of the Catholic Church.

“We will monitor Buffett’s every move. If Schwarzenegger is smart, he’ll tell his friend to keep to number crunching and stay out of the cultural arena.”

Is the Anti-Christ supposed to be bald and portly? And live in Omaha?

Few people hate Jesus more intensely and effectively than the so-called "Sage of Omaha."

Gee, someone who dares to take an opinion on abortion contrary to the Vatican is branded anti-Catholic .... and not supposed to express any suggestions to a would-be public official, even if unrelated to abortion and even if within his demonstrated field of expertise.

But this report came from the Catholic equivalent of the ADL so it must be fair and unbiased.

What is Arrrrnolddddd doing?

[robjna]

the more i listen , the more i dislike the choice of arnold.
Seems to be a RINO. I suppose, it is not my choice as i dont live in califlakia, but i am afraid it would set a example for other unqualified celebrities thinking they can do it. I wish the republican party could be smart enough to throw their endorsment behind the real republican candidates.

Wrong, genius.

If you had actually read the article you would know that Warren Buffett is THE bankroller of Frances Kissling's anti-Catholic organization called "Catholics For a Free Choice."

This organization's entire purpose is to campaign against the Catholic Church by picketing and disrupting Catholic religious services, by trying to get Mother Theresa's nuns booted out of India and China and other actions undertaken solely to undermine the charitable work of the Church in the poor world.

Anyone who provides funding for them is taking a very open and polemical position against the Catholic Church.

I don't think arnold has a clue.

"If Schwarzenegger is smart, he’ll tell his friend to keep to number crunching and stay out of the cultural arena.”

If Donohue is smart, he’ll tell his friends to keep to "bells and smells" and stay out of the altar boys.”

Billions of $$$ aside, Buffett's a poor second to the Hildebeeste, who NEVER speaks of her anti-Catholicism.
