The video of the priest being arrested on cable news was surreal and Kafkaesque. Orwellian.
Like something from a really bad science fiction movie.
Keyes was arrested yesterday and denied bail (as were the others who were arrested last week). As far as I know they are still in jail. EV can verify.
bump!
This is a big scarey issue for the democrats since the majority of Catholics are democrats. Finally the pro-life Catholics are going to take on the democrat hypocrisy head on. For many years the democrat leadership has played both sides of the aisle claiming to be personally against abortion but “pro choice”. Looks like it is going to hit the fan.
And all of the suave and worldly-wise liberals were just so sure that the social issues were going to go away. NOT!
There were students expelled from the Catholic university I attended for possession of illegal drugs. Abortion is more evil than recreational drug use. If Obama were a student at Notre Dame he would have to be expelled. So he doesn't deserve ANY degree.
What do you make of Keyes and even an 80-yr-old Catholic priest being led away from campus in handcuffs to be jailed?
Now I want the Bishop who has the authority to explain to Catholic why Jenkins in on PRO-ABORTION ANYTHING. And then to give that priest the authority to invite someone like Obama is lukewarm. And we all know what Jesus said about those lukewarm!!!!!!!!!
Obama bought face time at ND with his fame. ND isn’t a church, but the average Joe could be pardoned for regarding ND as an arm of the RCC.
Jenkins himself seems cold as dry ice.
si·mo·ny (sī'mə-nē, sĭm'ə-)
n. The buying or selling of ecclesiastical pardons, offices, or emoluments.
[Middle English simonie, from Old French, from Late Latin simōnia, after Simon Magus, a sorcerer who tried to buy spiritual powers from the Apostle Peter (Acts 8:9-24).] si'mo·nist n.
The RCC should really make it clear that ND isn’t an arm of it now, if it ever had been. God won’t let people get away with polluting the name of Christ forever.
Seen a lot of weird things in the Church, this was certainly one of the most embarrassing and disgraceful.
Strictly speaking, you would find more support for universal Christian causes in a lot of Southern Baptists than you would in the herd of CINOs that comprise ND.
It doesn't have to end here.
Alan Keyes was talking about filing a canonical suit in Church courts.
As a picky point, a lot of Baptists would bristle at being called Protestant, they prefer Evangelical. They never had an organizational nexus with the RCC to form the basis of a protest in the Lutheran sense.
I believe Keyes would do it, too. That ought to put some complacent feet to the fire.
It was good to see Baptists and Catholics uniting on the pro-life cause.
Alan was arrested for the second time on Friday. He intended to bond out to go on Hannity’s TV show, but the day before the St. Joseph County Superior Court judges had secretly changed the rules on bail, specifically to make sure that Alan would have to stay in jail until after the OBozo show had come to town and left.
Fortunately, some smart lawyers threatened them with a federal lawsuit over this abuse of power, and they let Dr. Keyes out yesterday. He came down to the State Theater and gave a barnburner of a speech.
Anyway, he’s out, and did Hannity tonight.
“It was good to see Baptists and Catholics uniting on the pro-life cause.”
I love that picture of the two burly Baptist Pastors supporting Fr Weslin.
He made a solid presentation and gave a good account of what has been going on, particularly with references to ND's Board of Trustees basically on the take via Obama's Chicago machine links.
