Powerful words!

It's not just the Catholic Church, all CHRISTIANS are under attack from the muslim usurper in the White House!

We really need more of him! Bishop Jenky's pastoral letter on secularism is here. From the letter:

I am especially scandalized by some “Catholic” politicians who willingly collaborate with efforts to restrict the civil liberty of the faith tradition from which they were originally sprung. Many of those in office who were taught to read and write in Catholic schools, now seem entirely indifferent to the consciences of those Catholics who live their faith. On Ash Wednesday, they like to be conspicuous with crosses on their foreheads, but the true Cross of Christ seems far from their hearts and minds. They enjoy parties on March the 17th and wearing green sweaters but in effect are ashamed of Saint Patrick’s unwavering zeal for the Catholic Christianity. They like photo opportunities with the hierarchy, but break their word to them without a moment’s hesitation. They may still use the rituals of Catholicism to mark their happy and sad occasions, but apparently would sell their soul for a vote or a dollar. What does it benefit a person to gain the whole world but lose their soul (Mark 8:36), but eternal loss for the sake of public office in Illinois is an extraordinarily foolish deal with the devil. Such people certainly need our prayers, but they should no longer be able to take our friendship or our support for granted …

Letter of support from Presbyterian minister

As a Protestant clergyman in Peoria County, I think it is important that Bishop Jenky know he has some support - even outside of the Roman Catholic community.

The particular details of the issue of birth control notwithstanding, the germane point here is that the Obama administration is seeking to force the violation of religious beliefs and convictions onto individual Christians and certain of the institutions that they own.

This type of pompous demagoguery - so typical of this president - is both appalling and dangerous. If Protestants - especially conservative ones - think they are outside of the administration's assault on their own religious freedoms, they are greatly mistaken.

Stay the course, Bishop Jenky. It is not worth caving to the world and to the devil.

Why do people have to give an account of their lives to God, when He already knows what they will do or have done, and why they did it?

[SumProVita]

I defer to the wisdom of the Church, but I think it is past time for public excommunication.

[Heart-Rest]

He believes the present White House administration is also motivated by a “determined secularism,” while Communist dictator Joseph Stalin would “admire the uniformity of the American press, with some exceptions.”

(As well as their myopic disregard for truth and accuracy, their non-stop flow of deliberate and purposeful deceptions, their fiendish fear of facts, their deceitful distortions, and their persistent and pernicious Pravda-envy prevarications.)

[crosshairs]

I think any Catholic that cannot accept the following scripture verse should be concerned about judgement, because they are in essence not trusting/believing what God says.

Ephesians 2:8-9
(NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
