Catholic Lawmakers Confronted on Pro-Abortion Stance

Comedy isn't your forte, putz.

[Contra]

The notorious Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) is "outed" as one of the deadly dozen, but her partner in crime, Senator Paul Sarbanes (D-MD), who is also Catholic is not mentioned because he is Greek Orthodox not Roman Catholic. Does anyone know what the Greek and Russian Orthodox Catholic positions are on abortion (can't imagine it is anything but against) and will they do something similar to what the Roman Catholics just did? Will Protestant denominations follow suit? Will the Roman Catholic church have the guts enough to go one step further and ex-communicate these politicians for their anti-Catholic beliefs?

[Protagoras]

Putz? Why how very unCatholic of you. Better make your confession before take communion next time.

AND DON"T DO IT AGAIN!!! Lol

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Putz, cretin, heretic. Take your pick and while you try and tap dance during your particular judgment we'll be shaking our heads at your sorry backside. As for confession, there's nothing to confess. Pointing out the truth is neither a mortal or venial sin, putz.

[RnMomof7]

"It is important to maintain the separation of church and state. I've always done that,

This is true and it needs to be permanent  

Well hopefully this divorced man that needed a confessional badly after Chappaquiddick  needs to be seperated from the church that allows him to pretend he is a Christian

[Protagoras]

I guess you have a different bible than me. Mine has admonitions against the kind of viterol you display.

Come to think of it, you DO have a different bible than me. LOL

Putz, cretin, heretic.

Leaving aside the first one for a moment in your name calling barrage, explain why you think I am a cretin and then what I said that was heresy.

Take your pick and while you try and tap dance during your particular judgment we'll be shaking our heads at your sorry backside.

What have I done that will cause this tap dance at judgement? Be specific please.

BTW, what is the definition of "putz" Mr. Catholic?

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Putz has a couple of definitions, oh learned one. The one that applies to you is fool or idiot. The word that those of you who are spelling challenged and that you thought would be appropriate is vitriol but it isn't since none of my remarks are bitterly abusive. People like you have a tough time accepting the truth, putz. Cretin is also appropriate in that you have demonstrated that you are an idiot. Rejecting the teachings of the Catholic Church makes you, by definition, a heretic. Get someone who can spell help you look those words up but try not to exhibit your stupidity by laughing so much.

You have an abridged, heavily edited version of the Bible. The original was brought to the world in book form by the Catholic Church in 405 AD.

[Protagoras]

You are a funny man. Demented, but funny.

Putz is yiddish for penis, oh learned one. And calling someone names time after time like cretin, idiot, stupid, penis, fool and heretic is bitterly abusive whether you want to admit it or not. It's not allowed in any bible. And your Pope disagrees with you on whether people who are not Roman Catholic are heretics. As you know, the Pope is infallable on such matters, so turn in your Catholic pride button and hit your knees.

People like you are the reason that the problems in your church, like pedophilia, are driving real people of faith away. I'm not so sure that your Roman Catholic brethern here are very proud of your association with them.

You are a disgrace to your church.

"If you have chosen to favor abortion because the people of your state expect that of you," Brown challenged Kerry, "then, please, no longer call yourself Catholic."

IMO, they are only "Catholic" in as far as it is politically convenient. About the same as when they say they love this country. Or Holy Joe when he asks you if he told you he is Jewish etc, etc.

"John F. Kennedy promised he'd keep his Catholic faith out of his public service," Chaput wrote. "I think all Americans - not just Catholics - have been paying for that mistake for 40 years."

I AGREE.

KEEP YOUR OAR IN THE WATER AND ROW OR GET OUT OF THE BOAT!

It's no accident that BILLDO had JFK as a mentor.

Choices have consequences else there's no authentic choice.

The 'choice' for abortion has a consequence different from the choice against abortion else there'd be no fight.

Either the choice to BE a Roman believer makes a difference or it's no choice.

Alas, we protestants have plenty of 'rice Christians' too. Where the convenience stops, the 'Christianity' stops, too.

God has a few words about those turning back from the faith.

Lot's wife evidently found His words very salty, indeed.

"It is important to maintain the separation of church and state. I've always done that, and I will continue to do so," Kennedy said. "It's part of the oath every senator takes, to defend the Constitution."

From the 1st Amendment in the Bill of Rights:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..."

Can somebody tell me where the term "separation of church and state" occurs in the Constitution?

[TotusTuus]

"As a Catholic, I have enormous respect for the words and teachings of the Vatican,..."

The proper terminology concerning this document should be 'the Holy See', not 'the Vatican'.
