If my thoughts about Clinton were germane to this issue, I would share them.
Yet again, when someone puts a false traditionalist in the corner, they scream "SHIVA!" or "KORAN KISSER!" like a girlie-man.
The Shiva story has a reasonable explanation, it isn't an anointing, it is a greeting like a handshake. Did you know Indians lift a woman into the air as a sign of reverence, it isn't religious at all.
In the case of this story, it involves race baiting, latent paganism, a woman priest, and the Goddess of Death. Did anyone ask her if she worshiped Shiva? Did anyone ask a Indian Catholic what she was doing? They are just as Catholic as anyone in Union with Rome, and I am sure they would answer. I am also knowledgeable that there in India, in the front lines of the fight, most defend the Faith with all the fervor of any Catholic.
No! Nobody asked, it would interfere with the smear job. Why confuse a photo with the story.
A pious forgery is indeed a forgery. It goes further to show the character of some of the people who are outside the Church, who are seeking to destroy it with the appearance of "true orthodoxy". You can't be faithful to the Church without the Pope, and you can't be Catholic without membership in the Church.

You set very low standards. Ever heard of the Holy Martyrs and Saints? They are my standards.

Did anyone ask a Indian Catholic what she was doing? They are just as Catholic as anyone in Union with Rome, But NOT NEARLY as Catholic as the SSPX Schizzies.
