The headline is misleading. There are no controversial issues with the Pope. The Pope stands tall with the culture of life. There are challenging controversial issues for Obama because he has sided with the culture of death.
Once the Pope understands that Obama is the messiah, it’ll be fine. /sarc.
When Obama confronts a controversial issue, he votes “present”. I am wondering what he will do when he doesn’t have that option.
Just one nugget from the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Instruction on Certain Aspects of the Theology of Liberation': "...it would be illusory and dangerous to ignore the intimate bond which radically unites them (liberation theologies), and to accept elements of the marxist analysis without recognizing its connections with the (Marxist) ideology, or to enter into the practice of the class-struggle and of its marxist interpretation while failing to see the kind of totalitarian society to which this process slowly leads."
--Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect, now Pope Benedict XVI, 1984)
Understanding that black liberation theology is Marxism dressed up to look like Christianity helps explain why there is no conflict between Cone's "Christianity" and Farrakhan's "Nation of Islam." They are two prophets in the same philosophical (Marxist) pod, merely using different religions as backdrops for their black-power aims.

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine

FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]
(some key excerpts)
["(Jose) Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart y Guitierrez (a former Cuban politician). He has three bothers, Rafael Diaz-Balart (a banker), Mario Diaz-Balart (a US Congressman) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (also a US Congressman). His aunt, Mirta Diaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Diaz-Balart]
JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.
I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."
REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."
SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

I don’t see what the problem is. As long as the Pope kneels and kisses Obama’s ring everything will be fine.
It’s time the Pope did a Exorcism next time Obama visits the Vatican. It’s more than the garden-variety Evil that needs to be dealt with there.
Can someone explain why the Pope or the Catholic Church has “diplomatic ties” with the US? It’s not a country, it’s a religion. What other religious group has “diplomatic ties” to the US? Does the Eastern Orthodox Church have “diplomatic ties”?
To me, it just shows that the Catholic Church is as much a political establishment as it is a religious one.
>>>>>the “DUH!” award of the year goes to Francis Rocca for the headline:<<<<<<<
Yeah it’s a silly headline. But just as an FYI, headlines are usually written by the newspaper copy desk and the section editors and sometimes twiddled by the managing editor or even the editor-in-chief.
What the reporter contributes to the headline is at best merely a suggestion and one that rarely makes it to print unscathed.
He (she?) should also get the “Statement Of The Obvious” award.
The “Duh!” award should most likely be awarded to the headline editor at the Compost. More often than not the headline submitted by the reporter isn’t used.
Somehow, crucified by his own before April just doesn’t fit the template for Zero.
I want the Pope himself to say it, so that we can all be unified against this horrific evil known as Obama.
Please, please do not mention B-HO and His Holiness in the same breath.
