When you look to the State to enact your moral principles (liberation theology, Christian charity and service, alms giving, the Beatitudes, whatever you want to call unconstitutional redistributionism), the State becomes your religion.
Misguided Catholic fools. Freedom is the ultimate principle that religious people should demand from their government.
It constantly amazes me at how supposedly smart people are so freaking stupid politically.
Obama has no fear of these people. He can shove this down their throats, and watch as they march off to the polls in November to vote for.... Obama.
If only the Church would get back to basics and realize, you reap what you sow.
Which is exactly why Obama did it.
“Obama stood beneath the blacked-out symbol of Christ, and Christianity, to deliver his speech. Once word of this latest slap in the face of Christians got out it became a hot topic on the internet.
OpposingViews.com reports that Catholic League president Bill Donohue made the following comments.
“The cowardice of Georgetown to stand fast on principle tells us more than we need to know about what is going on there, but the bigger story is the audacity of the Obama administration to ask a religious school to neuter itself before the president speaks there. No bishop who might speak at the White House would ever request that a crucifix be displayed behind him. Moreover, the same church and state fanatics who go nuts every time a polling place is set up in the basement of a Catholic school have been noticeably silent over this incident.”
Reverend Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition says,
“Now that the White House has publicly admitted covering a sacred faith symbol for the name of Jesus at Georgetown University, it is imperative that they release a public apology for their disrespect of faith expressions. For President Obama not to address the issue publicly would show utter contempt for religious expressions as well as a slap in the face to all those who cherish the name of Jesus.”
All of this comes just days after Obama stood in Turkey and announced that the United States is no longer a Christian nation.”

Someday, “we” need to grow some true courage and face our true enemy.
God has not given us these gifts that we should be ashamed to give him credit or hide our faith.
If we do not defend our faith, neither will God continue to shed his grace on us.
I’m not Catholic, but it’s seemed to me over the last 20 years or so that the church leadership had more in common with the RINOs than with their own teachings. CINOs?
White House isn’t going to come around to anything. This is a party that is used to cheating in order to win.
Who’s going to take the WH to task? The AG? Supreme Court? The Press?
They are acting like no matter what we do, they’re going to win again. It’s as if they don’t think there is going to be an election in November.
He never bothered to send attorneys to Georgia last week, and now there are six other states considering keeping him off the ballot.
Bank holiday in late September?
Romney sure looks like the new Democrat in the WH every day.
Leadership in our Catholic Church is lacking. They blindly bought into Obamacare because they were promised certain things (and two certain things specifically). 1) Abortion not covered 2) No madate on contraception.
Oooops!
Now they have to fight for what they were promised after trying hard to sell it to parishoners everywhere.
“We were for it before we were against it.”
I’m embarrassed (but faithful and loyal).
Archbishop Dolan should have known better than to trust someone who attended Jeremiah Wrights Church for 20 years and never heard any hatred out of Wright.
I wouldn’t trust Obama feed my dog—if I had one.
> the archbishop came away persuaded Obama would never force
> the Church to adopt any policy that would violate her
> principles.
The archbishop has not been paying attention.
0bama and his friends have already forced the Catholic church out of adoption services by requiring the Church to allow gays to adopt. The church refused to comply and can no longer provide adoption services.
The Church has been in retreat on the most compelling moral issues of our times for at least a generation.
Well this may take the calling in of Rome/Vatican to call 1600 PA Avenue.
Do Methodist hospitals offer abortions?
“If Obama loses the Catholic vote, he loses the election.
The White House will come around, fast. Rely upon it.”
Zero seems to have a habit of doubling down on stupid. So I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.
Catholics that vote for Obama are CINOs plus they are dancing on the trapdoors of HELL.
The Church has brought this on themselves by not excommunicating baby killers like Nancy Pelosi. And for their open borders stance as well. The Bishops have bent over for the DemocRATS for so many years, and on so many issues, Obama and the DemocRATS know that the Catholics will get in line before November.
So......Lay with the dogs, wake up with fleas.
