Relax! I'm a Catholic too. I was not intending to deface the Church. I merely asked a question.

Right now, Church leadership is being compromised by Obama. The fact that he thinks he can silence the Church is one example. The other is Notre Dame's honorary degree, and the fact that 70% of Catholics that voted, voted Obama.

There is the belief that the Church at some level was complicit during the Spanish Inquisitions and during WW2. Are all of you saying that these stories are COMPLETELY false? Weren't there rogue bishops that fueled this belief? Please enlighten me. If what you're saying is that the Church LEADERSHIP wasn't complicit, I understand, but if there were also defectors, I'd like to know this too.

As for Obama, I remember ABC News reporting prior to the election that Obama was mentored by one of Alinsky's prodigies named Jerry Kellman, whom they labeled as a CATHOLIC. Is Kellman a rogue Catholic? Is he a Catholic at all? Did he leave the faith? Is ABC News full of sh*t? Please enlighten me. I'm not looking to deface the Church, I'm just looking for some truth here.

You have a lot of questions about the Church for someone who is a Catholic. The net is at your fingertips - do your own research starting with “and the fact that 70% of Catholics that voted, voted Obama”. That’s an easy search which will prove your “fact” is incorrect.

‘... abusers and calumniators who plant these seeds are not out to get the truth, to build up, to edify. Their bent is to destroy, to liquidate. Hence, no matter what information you give them, they will not desist but will use these deliberate planted rumors targeted at the Church to further their own ambitions.’’

If you’re a Catholic, why are you making up numbers (70%) that are not even close to being accurate?
