After saying Obama on ‘similar path’ as Hitler/Stalin, Illinois bishop hit with IRS complaint

PEORIA, Illinois – After a fiery homily last weekend urging the faithful to oppose [Alleged] President Obama’s “radical pro-abortion and extreme secularist agenda” at the ballot box in November, Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria has been hit with an IRS complaint from a national secularist lobby group.

At a gathering of Catholic men on Saturday, the Illinois prelate had slammed Obama’s mandate forcing religious employers to cover contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortion-inducing drugs. The unprecedented attack on religious freedom, he said, signaled that the president “seems intent on following a similar path” as past dictators such as Hitler, Stalin, and Otto von Bismarck.

“This fall, every practicing Catholic must vote, and must vote their Catholic consciences, or by the following fall our Catholic schools, our Catholic hospitals, our Catholic Newman Centers, all our public ministries - only excepting our church buildings – could easily be shut down,” he said.

On Thursday, the Washington-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State claimed the homily violated federal law by taking sides in a political campaign.

I won't be reconstructed and I do not give a damn.

Ok, I can't tell if you like my tagline or are mocking it.

I notice that various fake “reverends” can say anything political they want and get away with it, but this Bishop can’t. It’s a typical example of liberals wanting to control everything, and to Hell with somebody’s right to free speech.

The attendants are coming down the hall with my strait jacket so I can only say to see from where I sent my reply.

And every single one of them was made to swear an oath of fealty to Obama, personally.

If they are going to enforce it against this church, then they should enforce it against every church where the pastor says something political. But Holder won’t do that because that would be the end of black churches.

We know Obama is a marxist redistributor of wealth.

Never forget he is also a fascist.

Study what Fascism is, read about the rise of Fascism in the thirties. Familiarize yourself with the personality and psychiatric traits of Adolf Hitler.

Remember that the word "Nazi" came from the German pronounciation of the term "national socialism". Read up on what the Nazi regime did to private enterprise and individual freedom in Germany both pre-war and during the war. Educate yourself that "fascism" is on the left side of the political/ideological chart, not the right as the liberals and the media would like you to believe.

Then you will know what and who Obama is, a communist in ideology and fact....AND a fascist with an innate ruthless personality and a thinly-veiled ambition for power and control over our lives and liberties.

So they are not taking a political side by siding with Obamaa implicitly? The bishop never sided with any candidate, he pointed at a threat. The hypocrisy never ends.

I assume the secularist group also went after Jeremiah Wright when he was advocating Barack over Hillary.

Otto Von Bismark?

Learn thy history.

In the late 19th century, Bismark waged his “Kultur Kamp,” a Culture War, against the Roman Catholic Church, closing down every Catholic school and hospital, convent and monastery in Imperial Germany.

It was a Saturday "gathering" rather than speaking from the pulpit during Sunday services. That makes it a non-church meeting, at which he has the same right to say things about Obama that I do.

Incorrect. Mass is celebrated seven days a week.
