GOP was brilliant by going out on a limb for the Catholic Churches ‘constitutional rights’ last year. Look how that worked out.

Getting involved in politics, wouldn’t that negate their tax exempt status?

You can bet big money that if the Catholic Church came out FOR gun rights and border security, Holder would have the IRS contact them immediately.

I’m Catholic and I totally disagree with this. They aren’t undocumented immigrants, they’re criminals. The Cardinal is also fine with “civil unions”. Just in time to air on Easter weekend...lovely.

We obviously are against these heavy-duty automatic weapons; their place is in war

This is the first time I have to call a Catholic Cardinal dumb. The key word is WAR! War weapons have no place in any law enforcement agency within our borders so they are now at war? With who. Me?

I can except those agencies that are on our border because the war is with infiltrating America and many of these illegals could have war like weapons.

This is why I only give $20 a week to my parish.

I give the rest to the Salvation Army and the Food Bank instead.

Fine. If the Church wants to weight in and advocate on political issues, they can start paying taxes.

They enjoy a tax free status as a non-political, religious institution. If they choose to be political, they can pay taxes like the rest of us.

Many undocumented immigrants are “family people” who “came to make a contribution to American society,” Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, retired Catholic prelate of the nation’s capital, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” which airs this weekend. The nation’s Catholic bishops will back up their endorsement of a path to legal status for such immigrants with more action once legislation is introduced, he added. “I’m hoping that when we get a bill, you’ll see how active they’ll be,” McCarrick said. While the Catholic Church hierarchy has clashed with President Barack Obama over abortion rights and his health-care law’s mandate for contraception coverage, the nation’s bishops are allied with him on his stance for an immigration overhaul and gun control legislation.

Ping for later.

If the Catholic Church wants to help save the children, they should excommunicate abortion politicians and support the irradiation of dogs.

Another child was m ailed to deth by pits yesterday. Close to 50 children a year killed by them, and hundreds of thousands bitten, many of which are scarred and maimed for life. About 60,000,000 babies have been murdered in America since 1973 under color of law.

Gun violence? BS! It’s taking away our ability to defend ourselves against tyranny!

Cardinal McCarrick, now 82, is an evil man. The following is from the public records of a trial in NJ where then Archbishop McCarrick was stationed.

“Excerpts from the legal Settlement Documents include firsthand accounts that are also in the Newark Archdiocese records of an incident on a trip with McCarrick, then Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey, with a seminarian and two young priests when they shared a room with two double beds, it reads:

· McCarrick, wearing just underwear, got into bed with one of the priests: “Bishop McCarrick was sitting on the crotch of Fr. RC As I was watching TV with Fr BL [full names appear in the documents], bishop McCarrick was smiling and laughing and moving his hands all over Fr. RC’s body. Bishop McCarrick was touching Fr. C’s body, rubbing his hands from head to toe and having a good time, occasionally placing his hands underneath Fr. C’s underwear. [I was] feeling very uncomfortable while trying to focus on television, and Fr. B.L., started smiling. As I looked at the bed next to me, Bishop McCarrick was excitedly caressing the full body of Fr. R.C. At that moment, I made eye contact [with] Bishop McCarrick. He smiled at me saying, ‘Don’t worry, you’re next.’ At that moment, I felt the hand of Fr. B.L. rubbing my back and shoulders. I felt sick to my stomach and went under the covers and pretended to sleep.”
“McCarrick continued to pursue the young man, sent him notes and telephoned him. Notes reveal that it was the custom the Archbishop McCarrick to call his protégés “nephew” and encouraged his entourage to call each other “cousin” and for them to call him ‘uncle Ted.’

“On another occasion McCarrick summoned the young man to drive him from the Newark Cathedral to New York City. He took him to dinner; and after, rather than returning to Newark as anticipated McCarrick went to a one-room apartment that housed one bed and a recliner chair. McCarrick said that he would take the chair, but after showering he turned off the lights and clad in his underwear he climbed into bed with his guest. Here is the account from the documents:

“He put his arms around me and wrapped his legs around mine. Then He started to tell me what a nice young man I was and what a good priest I would make someday. He also told me about the hard work and stress he was facing in his new role as Archbishop of Newark. He told me how everyone knows him and how powerful he was. The Archbishop kept saying, “Pray for your poor uncle.” All of a sudden, I felt paralyzed. I didn’t have my own car and there was nowhere to go. The Archbishop started to kiss me and move his hands and legs around me. I remained frozen, curled up like a ball. I felt his penis inside his underwear leaning against my buttocks as he was rubbing my legs up and down. His hands were moving up and down my chest and back, while tightening his legs around mine. I tried to scream but could not…I was paralyzed with fear. As he continued touching me, I felt more afraid. He even tried several times to force his hands under my shorts. He tried to roll me over so that he could get on top of me, but I resisted, I felt sick and disgusted and finally was able to jump out of bed. I went into the bathroom where I vomited several times and started to cry. After twenty minutes in the bathroom, the Archbishop told me to come back to bed. Instead I went to the recliner and pretended to fall asleep.”

How long have I been warning Catholics about this and they tell me to quit bashing? The lay Catholic in the pew has their collective heads in the sand! I've been warning for years now that the church government has jumped the shark. When I gripe about 50-60% Catholics are voting Dem, I just get, " Well, those are just cafeteria Catholics". The church structure is now run by LIBERALS!

You mark my words,.....The new will wear off the new pope and he will come out for Hugo Chavez or Che, or some other commie murderer. The signs are already there. He's a Jesuit! He will win over the population with his "populism" and then hit us out of nowhere with "We need world taxes to support the worlds poor!" "If we could just disarm all the negative people that don't want to give their money to the Brazilian poor" or "Love is beautiful even between the same sex".

Don't think it can happen? Look at the Lutherans/United Methodists.

Illegal Alien Amnesty is not a Christian thing to do.

An absolute insult to American Christians....and legal immigrant Christians

Protesters Question Clergyman’s Loyalty
At Archbishop Jose Gomez Residence

Dozens of protesters have shown up at Archbishop of Los Angelus Jose Gomez residence many carrying American flags and bearing signs questioning his loyalty to the US not Mexico along with many signs demanding equal rights for American citizens in Mexico.

The protest was apparently triggered by the clerics decision to push forward with his predesessors decision the disgraced Cardinal Mahoney with offering amnesty thus citizenship to Mexicans crossing the border illegally while thousands of Americans in Mexico suffer under 2nd class citizenship unable to own property and suffer indignantys let alone participate in Mexican elections while living there in Mexico.

A spokeswoman for the group, Harriet Hildegarden insisted her group consists of Catholics loyal to the church. “We will be protesting at other locations where prominent clergy of the church have sided with the Obama regime”Hildy” claims the church is supporting the democrat party which denied God at their convention and declared what she claims is war on the Catholics but would collude with i t on many issues including “amnesty” .

When asked if she may be denied communion for her activities her reply was “Well it’s been known that when that happens quicker when clerics get personally attacked than when some politican challanges the church on the grounds of faith and morals”
