This is what the millennials might call “beyond beyond.”
This is beyond President Obama’s typical Chicago-style politics. This is beyond the more vile tenets of the Alinsky catechism. Hell, this is beyond the bozo Soviet nonsense that John Paul II had to put up with.
No, what we have here is special. We haven’t seen such a raw, naked attempt by a secular head of state to manipulate a pope in centuries. This here is Borgia crap, and not just any Borgia crap. This is top-shelf, vintage Borgia crap at it’s finest.
You see, President Obama has hatched a plan. It is a simple but elegant plan, in which he hopes to create the illusion of a rift between the American bishops and Pope Francis and to exploit and broaden the already existing divisions among Catholics in this country.
So how does he plan to do it?
By putting on a spectacle and forcing Pope Francis to star in it.
Here’s how it will unfold. When Pope Francis visits the White House next week, he will be greeted not only by President Obama, but by a group of selected individuals who openly live or preach lifestyles directly contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church.
The cast of characters in this contrived stage drama will include:
Sister Simone Campbell, the pro-abortion Catholic nun and Obamacare champion, who organized the “Nuns on the Bus” tour and worked with the Obama White House to undermine the U.S. bishops and sow confusion during the debate on the Affordable Care Act.
Gene Robinson, the openly gay Episcopal bishop who recently divorced his gay partner, and who has accompanied President Obama at several religious events, including the 2014 National Prayer Breakfast.
Mateo Williamson, a cross-dressing woman who identifies as a gay man (and if you even paused for a second over that you really need to get with it). Williamson is the former co-chairman for the Transgender Caucus of Dignity USA.
Vivian Taylor, a male transvestite and former Executive Director of Integrity USA, a homosexual and transgender activist wing of the Episcopal Church. Taylor was apparently told to bring several friends.
So that’s grand.
But why? What does President Obama hope to achieve by luring the Pope into this cheap theatrical production?
At least three things Obama is hoping for:
1. To force Pope Francis into “accepting” these individuals. Of course, Pope Francis will accept them because they are fellow human beings with human dignity, and Pope Francis is a good and holy man who loves every person as a child of God. He will greet them with a smile and be courteous and respectful. But the perception Obama wants to promulgate is the one we are used to by now – that Pope Francis is accepting the behavior of these people, even though he is not.
2. To project the narrative that the “conservative” U.S. bishops are at odds with Pope Francis. The bishops have been outspoken regarding issues of same sex marriage, religious freedom, and the problematic aspects of Obamacare. By selecting individuals who represent the ideas the bishops have been fighting against to appear in a scene of warm greeting with Pope Francis, the President hopes to say, in effect, “See, look who’s side Pope Francis is on.”
3. To drive a wedge between Catholics in this country. Of course, the wedge is surely there already, but Obama wants to drive it deeper. He wants the liberals to claim victory by declaring Pope Francis supports them and only them, and much more importantly, he wants the conservatives to concede as much. He wants them to grumble, to be scandalized, and to blame and accuse Pope Francis. He wants them to race to their blogs and raise hell.
President Obama’s ultimate goal of course is to weaken and ultimately cripple the strength and influence of the Catholic Church, the greatest source of resistance in this country to his regime of religious persecution and state-sponsored and state-mandated moral relativism.
This is what he wants. The media will gladly help him. So will some Catholics.
Will you?
The next conservative president should be sure to invite salmon Rushdie, and Ayana hersi ali to all meetings with foreign Muslim religious leaders
They can cite Obama’s precedents
That Elijah story is one of the all time classics along with the one where God brought fire down to the alter for Elijah, when all the priest of Baal couldn't "git 'er done!!!"
Obviously I loved your comment and especially your reference link!
Thanks for the links. I thought this was an excellent article, and I’m glad the Vatican is complaining about pResident Zero’s plans.
How come that nun wasn’t ex-communicated?
I knew priests that were far, far left, but also openly Homosexual. They paved the way for the chaos we have now, including Christians being persecuted for following God's Word. There were never repercussions for catholic priests or nuns being leftists, anarchists, or homosexuals.
Can you explain this to me? I am sincere in my question.
Seems like a lot of trouble to go to get corn holed.
Exactly what I’d expect of a taqiyya practicing, enemy islamist President.
Jesus was willing to meet with sinners and He knew who was sincere.
This is a great opportunity for Pope Francis to deal directly with the devil and tell Satan to get lost.
Preach the Gospel. It could be dramatic!
Poor Pope Francis. Exploited. Boo. Hoo.
He’s been snuggling and cuddling with pro-aborts, trannies, Commies, etc., for years. He’s going to just LOVE it.
Goes to show you what a small petty little man this prick obammy really is.
Course this pope isn’t the best either,
This one couldn’t carry John Pauls jock.
Exactly.
Another insult to all Christians by bh0. Apparently is “Christian faith” is more Anti-Christian than pro-Christian.
He INVITED an anti-Catholic LGBT group in Paraguay to meet with him, and they turned him down.
Did you listen to Rush Limbaugh...Thursday I think it was. He was talking about this. He said that in all likelihood it’s a set-up of some kind against the Pope.
He did say to be cautious because the Pope hasn’t addressed it yet, and that the Pope might have requested that kind of group of people.
I did not hear Rush on this Thursday. And yes, it is probably a ‘set up’ but I feel it is a clear insult to the Pope and Christianity. It is just another of bh0’s attacks against ‘all things Christian’ that lend credence to the incident at the Trump townhall where the man in the audience said that he thinks bh0 is actually a Moslem. Personally I think bh0 is pro-Moslem, anti-Christian and has no religious faith other than Marxism and himself.
You and I are on the same page about bho. He’s probably an atheistic communist who worships himself and/or power.
Can assume she was— but “former” nuns who are ultra lefties still go around saying they are “nuns” and wearing the gear. So, there is that visual, that all important lying media visual to be expanded upon by the moosleeem in chief.
Not being a Catholic— if a church is seeking broad based outreach, to increase one’s numbers and the finances, then the “acceptance” of the market segment whackos within the organization becomes a strategy.
Nevermind that the behaviours in question are ALL sins as defined under Canon law within the Church. The “big tent” to reach all sinners, so to speak, carries with it the money and the sheer number of the common, and not so common folk.
Which is why the exceptional anti-communist Popes, who lived under this totalitarianism, have/had such moving testimony for the Church. John Paul II, without a doubt, was a real threat to the Comintern. This jesuit leftie Pope is no threat at all, but rather, a tool.
And obamaumao is going to use the tool, for his ulterior agenda. There is money there in it for him and his butt buddy Soros. Evil personified. If the Pope is sainted and sentient, perhaps he will see the demons in front of him, and speak on it loudly to the world. But he is dodging the dissidents in Cuba— and that is quite telling with his own bishop of Cuba playing ball with the thugs.
