Slandering the President (Jesuit Priest upset at Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh)

America Magazine via Ripenet ^ | NOVEMBER 23, 2009 | Fr. John F. Kavanaugh, S.J.

[Coleus]

The frustrated liberal democrat can't stand that conservatives are getting their message out about 0bama and the democrats.   He wasn't fair and balanced when reporting about FOX and not CNN where they have given the democrats the bully pulpit for decades.  Where was Fr. Cavanaugh when President Bush was being slandered for 8 years?  Notice that the priest must watch FOX, Glenn Beck, reads Newmax and listens to Rush.

Harlem Gospel Choir nixes Glenn Beck film role over finances, not politics, it says

it's all political

[MNJohnnie]

This clown should be fired by the Church. Neither have ever slandered Dear Reader. A Priest who willingly lies to push a political agenda is unfit for his office.

[Gaffer]

This feeling liberal is content to condemn the condemnation of his President. He is content in the continuation of murder of untold millions of tiny souls and the addition of older souls who’ve outlived their usefulness to the ideological ideal fantasy liberal society. He is content in the possible subjugation of millions of unwilling Americans. He can go to Hell straightaway for all I care. He is no man of God.

H00boy! Fr. John F. Kavanaugh, S.J. is a true believer.

Take a look around Johnboy. The idiots at the hem have no idea how to pilot a ship.

Captain Obama is having a party on the stern and has a few neophyte chicago goons at the wheel.

It’s from AMERICA magazine. That should be all you need to know.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You can tell how far this country has fallen into the sewer when a priest feels that it is his job to join the Marxist/Commie attack on conservative talk radio.

Whats just eating Kavenaghs lunch is the idea that Obama is doing this on PURPOSE.

[trisham]

I’m more than disappointed in this Priest.

[Nosterrex]

Have you ever met a Jesuit priest that was not part of the radical left? It was not that long ago that Pope John Paul almost shut the order down. They were radical proponents of liberation theology in South America. They were actually making terrorists into saints. Where were the Jesuits for the eight years when Bush was POTUS?

[princeofdarkness]

This guy is no Bishop Tobin. In fact he is more like Father Andrew Greeley or Michael Phleger. Hardly stellar examples of righteous priests who are sorely needed in today's world.

[CdMGuy]

Why are you surprised? He is a Jesuit. Throughout the history of this order, which for more than a few years was supressed by the Vatican, many of their priests have been out in left field and have been very anti-Vatican. No surprise here.

[trisham]

Thank God for Bishop Tobin.

[trisham]

I’m not surprised, just very disappointed.

“…fears for the future may be…” welllll ahhhh, YES, since Congress is in one the game or has decided to sit out their responsibilities as bystanders to an accident they have created; the citizenry will eliminate each Constitutional dichotomy.

Other than that, Fr. John F. Kavanaugh, S.J. is just another useful idiot and most likely a butt-boy for the left.

“If Al Qaeda wants to demolish the America we know and love, they’d better hurry because Obama is beating them to it.”

On this, the putz is correct.

[The Comedian]

Go back to touching altar boys, Father Commielove.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[John W]

He was quoting Rush, I believe.

[bmwcyle]

Just another worthless Liberal Jesuit. The priest should be isolated from young boys.

[paterfamilias]

“Have you ever met a Jesuit priest that was not part of the radical left?”

Yes. He is in the New York Province, and usually explains himself as “Yes, I’m the conservative Jesuit in New York.”

I have a funny story about him. When our son was invited for an admissions interview at an all-scholarship Jesuit high school in NYC, I asked him if he was ready to discuss a favorite book with the interviewer.

He said, “Yeah,Dad, it’s called ‘Marine Sniper’ it’s the story of GySgt Carlos Hathcock.”

I said, “Whoa! The Jesuits are a bunch of lefties - can’t you discuss some other book?” (He chose something else.)

Recounting this story to the Jesuit in question, he started laughing and said, “’Marine Sniper’? That’s one of my favorite books!” He then grabbed it off his bookshelf to show me.

However, I’m afraid he is the exception that proves the rule:

Q. Why are the Jesuits periodically suppressed by the Pope?

A. Because they need it.

There is an interesting dialogue starting there, many of you know one of the posters well!
