Ping!

[sten]

not exactly a shocking revelation

[Le Chien Rouge]

Quite a bit of hostility directed at Christians in the US is coming from WITHIN many Protestant Churches and especially Roman Catholic Parishes.

Too many lefty priest and ministers are embracing liberation theology as well as economic justice beliefs while at the same time marginalizing those with their Churches who disagree with them.

If you are a Christian who is pro-life,pro family and anti collectivist, you will be attacked by lay church members as well as the clergy.

[perplyone]

Has he taken a look at our Muslim-in-Chief lately? Just sayin’
.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Actually the majority of Americans are not hostile towards the real religion of peace, but the media and the non-Constitutionalist Despot Politicians would have the public believe otherwise.

[OrangeHoof]

Evil never likes to be identified for what it is.

[redgolum]

Very true. If you are “orthodox” you are viewed as a enemy.

In Illinois homosexuality is more important than children. The Pope is spot on. Unless Catholics come home and live their religion this terrible trend will continue. Only Catholics can turn things around in Illinois. They must reject the liberal tyranny over their fellow human beings.

[RichInOC]

Pope Benedict has a talent for dry understatement.

[GreyFriar]

Yeah, Verily.

The Pope is exactly right—like usual. St. Thomas Aquinas aligned Catholic Theology with Natural Law Theory.

Natural Law Theory is the basis of our Constitution and is where the term inalienable rights and Natural Rights from God—comes from . Personal property rights stems from Natural Law and the freedom of conscience and religion. The concepts of the Creator goes way back before Christianity-—Cicero acknowledge God-given rights.

Marx and the Postmodernists threw out God and Natural Law Theory. John Austin was the rage in our universities—he rejected God Given Rights and Objective Truth and Natural Law theory. SO—it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for our government to dump our Supreme Law of the land—The Constitution—just because some Marxist/Darwinist wants to redesign human beings to destroy the natural family and deny the natural rights of children to have a mother and a father-—proven to be the most perfect way to raise emotionally healthy children.

SO, the Pope is in line with our Constitution-—it is based on Natural Law Theory-—not on Stalin’s and Frank’s standards of Right and Wrong.

Our Laws are unjust when they are not in line with Natural Law and our Constitution-—we have not been vigilant —and allowed judges to make “null and void” law. We need to take our country back....start with the legal system.

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.

Correct and agreed. Take a look at NDAA. Although, I thought there was a legal difference between unalienable and inalienable that’s now linguistically lost. One is a right you cannot give up even willfully. Do you know which one?

[cloudmountain]

Our beloved Pope is always so clear, lucic and absolutely correct. What a MARVELOUS successor to St. Peter. We are so lucky, aren’t we?

[zot]

Yeah, Verily.

True, and I'm glad he said it.

IMHO, only Catholics can turn the whole country around because the alternative is Protestant and Protestant derived religions that accept anything and everything from ordaining queers to forced sterilization in the name of saving "Mother Earth". Satan is a past master of divide and conquer tactics as illustrated by the fact that there are at a minimum thousands upon thousands of different non-Catholic groups each claiming to be the real Christian church.

Only when Catholics return to orthodox belief and are an obvious united counterpoint to that fragmentation can this country turn around.

I really really have to snicker at this 'smoke'. But I sure won't get in your way as you fix all the damage done to US by Nanny the RED PEWlouise and saint in waiting Teddy Kennedy.

[Rashputin]

Sure, sure, just ignore that good Presbyterian Woodrow Wilson, the good Episcopalian FDR, the good Disciples of Christ member LBJ, those steller Baptists Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, and of course, totally ignore our current imbecile who attended the Trinity United Church of Christ for twenty years.

Yeah, it was all Ted Kennedy, ever since the First World War it's been Ted Kennedy all along.

I thought the 'wise' were to learn from history and NOT try and outdo and out spend and out mommy prior bad actors.

Under the workings (see bad works are also tabulated in Heaven as well as the good) of Nanny the (commie) Red 'religious' Pewlouise and that saint in waiting Kennedy, we have been enslaved with more debt than all previous bad acts of any other denomination.

Christ did say there would always be the 'poor' among US, but it was not until this bunch that I realized He was explaining WHY. Anyway according to my Catholic in-laws, unless you are stamped Catholic you are NOT Christian anyway. Strange to have supposed non-Christians as the standard to be measuring that supposed only Christian denomination.
