Yep. The American Catholic Church is liberal. I grew up in a conservative/traditional Catholic parish and grade and high school. But it was changing even in the 70s and early 80s in our really conservative Catholic parish/diocese.

I think and believe that Pope Benedict is refreshing and what the American Catholic Church needs.

A pure violation of separation of Church and State.

Ashcroft was an idiot with that, too.

It’s like he’s ashamed of Christianity or something. Has to hide from the cross.

Well, I tell ya what. If I had that attitude, the last thing I'd want to do is stand with my back to that cross.

America WILL pay for this decision...I HIGHLY recommend that every one of us repent of our sins, like...NOW. Perhaps God will save us, perhaps not. But we're not sitting pretty...

Would have made a great episode of Kolchak: the Night Stalker.
Vampire president comes to Georgetown University to give a speech on socialism and his handlers ask them to remove the cross.

"The Strange Case of the Disappearing Georgetown Cross"

But he might need some help from Agents Scully & Mulder on this one.
Who gave the order to take the IHS Cross down?

ROFLOL!! It's a wonder he didn't burst into flames, or turn into a pillar of salt.

"If the MSM wasn’t so biased, the whole world would have figured out by now he IS Muslim."

Whoever has those pictures of the before & after should send them to Glen Beck. He'll show them on TV. He has a great following that watches him on Fox.

Dark times are ahead. Reminds me of 1 Samuel 8:18

"And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day."

Marked for future reference:

every protest associated with Obama should simply say...

. . IHS

Jesus Christ God’s Son Savior...IHS...

If Obama wanted a religion free environment for his speech, then why not go to a neutral environment?

Going to a sacred environment and insisting on neutralizing it is telling.

Religious leaders who crucified Him afresh at Georgetown University figured they could roll the stone back over the entrance to the tomb.

Sorry, but, He has Risen! He has Risen indeed!

Thank you, Jim, for pointing this out.

Consider me grateful to have this platform of yours with which to dialogue with other like-minded “God and country conservatives” - and occasionally to draw outside attention to “our” issues.

As a Catholic FReeper, I especially thank you for ensuring this a Catholic-friendly forum and for the strong voice this forum offers to pro-life defenders of innocent human life.

As one commentator pointed out: the IHS monogram (similar to the Christian ichtys fish) symbolizing Christ which is the monogram of the Jesuits (literally "Jesus-ites" or "followers of Jesus") means more to 0bama than to the CINO/JINO (Catholic/Jesuit In Name Only) Georgetown; 0bama respects the symbols power enough to fear it, whereas the same symbol is so undervalued by Georgetown that it simply dumps its own Christian monogram to curry favor with the civil authority.

Seal of the Society of Jesus. The "IHS" trigram comprises the first three Greek letters of "IHΣOYΣ" (Jesus), later interpreted as "Iesus Hominum Salvator", Jesus, Saviour of Mankind, "Iesum Habemus Socium", We have Jesus as Companion or as "Iesu Humilis Societas", Humble Society of Jesus

Zero didn't want a religion free venue, he wanted to defile a sanctuary.

Religious leaders who crucified Him afresh at Georgetown University figured they could roll the stone back over the entrance to the tomb.

"IHS," means from Constantine's dream, "by this Sign, thou shalt conquer." Man doesn't have the power to defeat our Lord, the sooner people accept that the better.

Sorry, but, He has Risen! He has Risen indeed!

Amen!

Very nice devolve. I’m always amazed at how you can blow those graphics up so large.

Viewing this large size slideshow, you can see why Obama had the blue curtain installed to cover all the icons and symbols along the wall.
