obama SAID (when corrected) Christian....which you keep insisting means Protestant.
It's a good thing you aren't conflating being Christian with being Catholic.
Who can believe anything obama claims? I think some forget that even satan acknowledges Christ. It is one thing to claim an affiliation or belief in Christ and or a church....it is another when Christ is Lord of your very life.
Black Liberation/Jeremiah Wright and those he has impacted, including Obama, are hate filled people. I do not acknowlege their church as Christian for all know that the Church of Christ has long lost it’s “light”. Though there may be a few stragglers.
Because it does. Since there is no magisterium equivalent in Protestantism anyone who declares themselves Christian, but standing in "protest" of the Bishop of Rome and the Catholic Church is Protestant. Anoyne can self define themselves to be anything they want to be. Who are you to contradict them or to claim exclusive jurisdiction to the name?
After all, we constantly hear the inverse about how self proclaimed "Catholic" democrat politicians are really Catholic even though they stand outside the Communion of the Saints. You really can't have it both ways, however, if you are willing to concede that your list are CINO (Catholic In Name Only) and not really practicing Catholics, then by I could accept that Obama is likewise a self proclaimed "PINO".
