Obama has assumed the office of spiritual adviser to the nation. Think he will get any push back from anyone of our spiritual leaders?

Churches have done more for people on poverty than this jackass ever has.

The help they give is generally a helping had. It isn’t just a hand out like the government gives.

Churches will help find a job. They will hold people accountable. This is what angers Obama, more than likely.

Don't y'all mess with his sacraments, people.

The un-baptism (abortion) and the un-marriage (gay marriage). That's his purview.

Is he warning us to shut the hell up?

What would churches do without Obama telling them what they should do?

I have long believed he’s an enemy islamist. He sure acts and sounds like one.

Last I heard, “poverty” was not a sin .... murder and sodomy still are.

How about focusing on scripture? Only then will appropriate actions follow.

Being poor isn’t a sin or abomination to God. In fact, He delights in meeting the needs of his children. However, abortion and same-sex marriage are a different matter.

They used to, until the government ran them out of the “tanking care of poverty” business.

More blatant proof that he knows nothing of what is between Genesis 1:1 and The Book of the Revelation. But this lying narcissist wouldn’t believe Jesus if The Lord said to him in person, ‘The poor you will always have with you ...’ And he certainly wouldn’t have a clue what that means in relation to salvation and the Holy Spirit influence.

Heading into my 6th decade as a Roman Catholic with 16 years of Catholic education. Never in my life heard a sermon on abortion or gay anything.

Besides the fact Obama is a Marxist who intends to destroy the churches and free speech.

Bad enough we have churches laying guilt trips on us because we think the illegals should stay in their home hell holes and not come here to mooch off the taxpayers and mess up our already messed up country. Now we have a president who is lecturing us about being good Christians.

This from a man who lies every time he opens his mouth. Say, Barry, instead of denigrating churches, why don’t you take in the illegals and poor in this country? Instead of lecturing us white privileged people, how about being a real leader, encourage the young to get an education and work and discourage teens from becoming pregnant?

That would require work — something the community organizer and amateur golfer doesn’t have the time or aptitude for.
