OK. You've gotta' admit, this is the perfect response to the most blatant display of hypocrisy seen in days in our nation's capital. Earlier today, President Obama hysterically pretended to support religious freedom while the pope sat just feet away. He said:
You remind us that people are only truly free when they can practice their faith freely. Here in the US, we cherish religious liberty. Yet around the world at this very moment, children of God, including Christians, are targeted and even killed because of their faith. Believers are prevented from gathering at their places of worship. The faithful are imprisoned. Churches are destroyed. So we stand with you in defense of religious freedom and interfaith dialogue, knowing that people everywhere must be able to live out their faith free from fear and intimidation.
Irony was last seen scratching its head and mumbling incoherently while being chased off the White House lawn. Everyone knows that this administration is no friend to religious freedom.
But Pope Francis spoke quite clearly and honestly about this crucial issue, saying:
Mr. President, together with their fellow citizens, American Catholics are committed to building a society which is truly tolerant and inclusive, to safeguarding the rights of individuals and communities, and to rejecting every form of unjust discrimination. With countless other people of good will, they are likewise concerned that efforts to build a just and wisely ordered society respect their deepest concerns and their right to religious liberty. That freedom remains one of America’s most precious possessions. And, as my brothers, the United States Bishops, have reminded us, all are called to be vigilant, precisely as good citizens, to preserve and defend that freedom from everything that would threaten or compromise it.]
Bam.

Catholic ping!
“So, you see, Reggie is this big, and sometimes it hurts. How do I tell him to stop doing to me, what I’m doing to America?”
What do mean my sins are in the "unforgivable range." Who says?
Uh, the Holy Spirit.
No.
Two anti-capitalist, strongly socialist, pro-illegal alien, pro-communist politicians (who might disagree about abortion - though one moral coward will not say so in public, and the other is proud of his death tolls) are using each other to attack republican policies here.
Odrama needs to hide his horns....perhaps some sort of head veil would help.
Did you read what the Pope said in the original post?
Yes.
To the Catholic bishops in Washington, he uttered one sentence of support.
To the Congress and to Obama - the people who are actually responsible for these murders, he spoke (wrongly and with great prejudice!) about “social justice”,
promoted illegal immigration for his Spanish church pews (again), and
promoted the on-going illegal invasion of Europe by hundreds of thousands of military-age Muslim males demanding money, clothes, housing and a lifetime of welfare while their remaining Muslim military age males are murdering Christians and Jews by the tens of thousands, and about
Climate change - an on-going false program that kills millions by artificially and deliberately making energy and heat and light more expensive for the world’s poor and unemployed and those who burn cattle dung in unheated dark huts. But that same climate change propaganda is set to generate 31 trillions in “carbon credits” for world’s banks and governments and pension funds and hedge funds. And support 92 billion in three years for Oboma’s “green energy” selected companies and cronies.
Yes. A real moral coward whose policies kill millions.
In Cuba, he said nothing, but promoted Castro to Oboma.
In front of Pelosi, Biden, and the hundreds of “Catholic” murderers who he admires and whose illegal policies he promotes, he said ... nothing.
Barack the consummate pretender.
I read what the Pope said:
“Yet around the world at this very moment, children of God, including Christians, are targeted and even killed because of their faith. Believers are prevented from gathering at their places of worship. The faithful are imprisoned.”
My question is: why didn’t he say this while he was in Cuba? Why is he insisting on visiting a prison in the U.S. where only criminals are incarcerated; but did not ask to visit political prisoners imprisoned by the Castro brothers?
Your quote was what Oboma said. Reluctantly implying that some peoples other than Muslims were being persecuted all - BUT minimizing and trivializing the Christians being murdered.
"Bam"?
Is the author 12?
My mistake.
Bumpin’ that, you nailed it
What a great picture, shows God’s presence.
The Pope takes time out from his busy schedule to perform an exorcism...
Here is his hat hiding his horns.
