Heres another story that underlines how ludicrous the media have been in insisting Barack Obama was a natural choice for traditional Catholic and evangelical Christian voters: CNSNews.com correspondent Fred Lucas reports Obama finished stocking the advisory committee of his faith-based initiative with a bang: one new selection was Harry Knox, director of the "religion and faith program" of the gay-left Human Rights Campaign. Just last month, Knox described Pope Benedict XVI and certain Catholic bishops as "discredited leaders" because of their opposition to same-sex marriage.
In addition to his remarks about the Pope, Knox also criticized the Catholic Knights of Columbus as being "foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression" because of the Knights support of Proposition 8 in California last year:

Obscure. LOL!
My FIL is a Knight and let me tell you they are not at all happy about anything going on.
Maybe next time, we'll graduate to being "Evil Alien Conquerors".

Oh, I don't know. “Obscure” makes us sound all secretive and stuff. We're the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes. We're the ones who making the deals in the smoke-filled backrooms. Sounds kinda lie fun to me!

Onward Christian Soldiers!
Speaking of being a Freemason, who is that going to square with your desire to become Catholic?
LOL!
I think you're right. Obama has declared war on the Church. It's clear as day, he plans to take the bishops on and thinks he's got the upper hand since he got 54% of the so called Catholic vote. We are in for some scary days ahead. Pray for the gift of perseverance.
Either way ... if you’re catching FLAK, you must be over the target.
The man won with 54% of the vote. Catholics and Jews are still a minority in this country...he needed and got a whole lot of protestant votes too. We ALL need to be aware that our Faith is under attack. He's hostile to us all, Catholic Jew and Protestant.
> Speaking of being a Freemason, who is that going to square with your desire to become Catholic?
An excellent question. From the Freemasonry point-of-view, there is no problem at all with Catholics being in the Brotherhood. Indeed, I know a few who are. From the Church’s point-of-view, I don’t know. I have raised the fact that I was a Freemason once with the Priest and he didn’t seem too exercised about it — which is, admittedly, not the same at all as saying he condoned it or permitted it. I’ll have to press the question at some point, I guess...
> Oh, I don’t know. Obscure makes us sound all secretive and stuff. We’re the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes. We’re the ones who making the deals in the smoke-filled backrooms.
NO! You are NOT secretive! And you’re NOT ALLOWED to pull the strings behind the scenes, or make deals in the smoke-filled back-rooms!
That’s OUR JOB. Only the Freemasons get to do that! Keep your hands OFF our conspiracies!
> Sounds kinda lie fun to me!
It’s actually really hard work, plotting to overthrow currencies and guard the Da Vinci Code and rule the world.
> The sword is ceremonial. The Glock is real.
LOL! Classic!
I like the idea of a ceremonial Glock...
Call us what he wants, at least we dont stick our penises into other men’s rectums. Whats next, special favors for men who sodomize dogs??
Sorry, DH, from the church's POV, membership in the Masons (and other secret societies) is absolutely forbidden.
Hah! The hard-core conspiracy types have the KofC, the Masons, and the Jooooooish Bankers all in cahoots with The Vatican to take over the world from a hidden Flying Saucer Base in Antarctica.
That's why you need the Ladies' Auxiliary: to keep the refreshments coming and do the wash.
