The US President has made an alarming call for an end to Catholic education inNorthern Ireland in spite of the fact that Archbishop Gerhard Müller told Scots that Catholic education was 'a critical component of the Church.’
President Barack Obama(above), repeated the oft disproved claim that Catholic education increases division in front of an audience of 2000 young people, including many Catholics, at Belfast’s Waterfront hall when he arrived in the country this morning.
“If towns remain divided—if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can’t see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to harden—that too encourages division and discourages cooperation,” the US president said.
The US politician made the unfounded claim despite a top Vatican official spelling out the undeniable good done by Catholic education in aspeech in Glasgow on Saturday and in his homily at Mass on Friday.
Archbishop Gerhard Müller (below), prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, told an audience in Scotland that Catholic education provided arare place where ‘intellectual training, moral discipline and religious commitment would come together’ while giving the presitigous Cardinal Winning Lecture on Saturday to officially launch the St Andrews Foundation for Catholic teacher education at Glasgow University. During Mass at St Andrew’s Cathedral, Glasgow, on Friday night he said that ‘the Catholic school is vitally important … acritical component of the Church,’ adding that Catholic education provides young people with awonderful opportunity to ‘grow up with Jesus.’
Mr Obama is in Northern Ireland to take part in the two day G8 Summit at the Lough Erne resort in Enneskillen.
We need to stick together and attack the Kenyan - not the Church.

Those are our main bulwark against the attacks of Satan’s minions.
Of course, when they are overwhelmed and the US government starts taking kids out of homes of Christian families,
there will be literally blood in the streets, and not all of it ours.

Why is he telling other people in OTHER countries what to do?
This man is sick in a way I can’t describe.
I woke up at 5 am and heard some of his garbage and really started my day off in a bad mood as a result.
Why would he assume that this is the inevitable consequence of allowing Catholics and Protestants to have their own schools?
Because everything must be of, by, and for The State. Socialism is a totalitarian ideology. It consumes everything; in its conclusion ALL aspects of society must be ordered and controlled by The State.
Mohammedanism (Barry Soetoro's other ideology) is similar.
Doing so allows him to demonize both ... both must be destroyed, and replaced with Statist Schools.
Note that in these United States, the Protestant Schools have already been subverted and destroyed, and replaced with Statist Schools.
What - is he practicing to be king of the world now?
This is exactly the German rationalization behind outlawing homeschooling. Barack "666" Obama is coming for us soon, guaranteed.
A more apt description is EVIL. Imagine him calling anyone divisive. He is the most cunningly divisive politician I ‘ve seen in my lifetime!
LOL! Isn't he going to Africa soon? Perhaps he'll contract that old-time religion and decide to stay there.
Heh ... Barry Hussein has heard of titles like "King of Kings" and "Lord of Lords" ... and presumes to claim those titles for himself.
It will end badly.
The kings of Persia used those titles.
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
-Percy Bysshe Shelley
The Egyptians would erase the names of failed rulers from wherever they appeared.
I’m surprised that His Heinous, Barackula the Destroyer hasn’t ordered that the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial be leveled, and that his serene visage be engraved on the statue in the (former) Lincoln Memorial.
It’ll be merely a matter of time before he goes after private and homeschools in the US.
***Perhaps you mean, it will be merely a matter of time before we disCOVer that he’s been going after private & homeschools?
Actually, yeah, that’s probably far more accurate.
Professor Bob Brier says that Ramses II, one of whose names was garbled by early archaeologists as “Ozymandias,” is known in the trade as “The Great Chiseller,” because he relabelled his ancestors’ temples and monuments with his own name.
