Liberal and conservative Catholics alike would prefer not to discuss how the Catholic Church, here and abroad, functions like a liberal/left-wing political lobby.
Some pro-life Catholics are acting shocked that the Vatican warmly greeted the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama, who is pro-abortion. They don't seem to understand that the Vatican and Obama agree on most major international issues.
This is the untold story-how Obama and the Vatican accept major ingredients of what has been called a New World Order.
Another untold story is how, despite a disagreement over abortion, the U.S. Catholic Bishops and the Obama Administration agree on major aspects of so-called health care reform.

I accept your confession and your apology.
Searching acronymfinder.com and Googling “define: RC” yields more acronyms, but none of them insulting that I can see.
The urbandictionary.com has many definitions, some obscene but none that I can see with the historical reference you claim. Then again all kinds of common words have obscene meanings on that website.
The online etymology dictionary sheds no light on the issue. It is usually helpful when the use of term has changed over the years, e.g. awful.
If you can establish with source links that the abbreviation RC is a slur or reference to potty language in modern usage then do so.
If not, grow some skin or leave the thread.
You need to drop the subject, too, to not pick at the scab and/or make this thread “about” individual Freepers.
I see some have long term apartments in Alice’s rabbit hole.
I have less than 0.0000000000000000000000% need to ask you to be in charge of my dictionary.
I have less than 0.0000000000000000000000% need to allow you to be in charge of my dictionary.
I realize that RELIGIONISTS of many stripes and certain personalities are such outrageous CONTROL FREAKS that they compulsively DEMAND to be in charge of everyone’s dictionaries.
However, around these parts, we are more used to that being the SOP of OThuga and camp.
I realize a lot of Roman Catholics think CHOICE is a wonderful new word . . . along with PROGRESSIVE and the like.
Normally, on FR, we do not.
None offered.
AYE AYE.
No problem
Thanks.
I’d have shut up long ago . . . just didn’t want to leave the impression . . . welll anyway. Thanks.
I concur.
Not just Roman Catholic, but Discip;es of Christ, United Methodist, most Presbyterians, Lutherans, and a few others have thrown God’s word in the can on this.
Which diocease is Billy-Bob’s?
Of course you’ve never been into a liquor store, so you wouldn’t have any theories on that, right?
So he was definitely proposing a kingdom of man, rather than a Kingdom of Christ?
OK, you are obviously not Catholic and haven't spent any time in the poor Catholic sections of the UK and Ireland, but have established the level of proof as being online resources. I will act and post accordingly.
You seem to be working awfully hard to make it that way.
Quite the flame baitor, aren't you!
True, but it is small and it will get nowhere. The condemnations of capitalism and social Darwinism by movements associated with atheism and immorality have created a Pavlovian response in American conservatives. Consequently many of even the most religious conservatives place "small, limited government" at the apex of their political values.
I suppose this Pavlovian conditioning might explain why certain religious people react negatively to conservatives' battles against immorality--morality has become "social Darwinism" to them.
Et tu? Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.”
Cue the One World Religion, to accompany that certain figure from Eastern Europe who will usher in the Tribulation (if that prophecy is actually destined to come true).
No, reading the plain words of your post.
For instance, if I said "Do you misunderstand this?" or "Do you intend to condemn that Saint?" or "Are you trying to start a flame war?" - none would be "making it personal."
On the other hand, if I had said "You don't understand" or "You are condemning that Saint" or "You want to start a flame war" it would be reading your mind and therefore "making it personal."
“coached” should have been “couched.”
Understood. Thank you.
