Cardinal George, call your office...
What was Cardinal George's (archbishop of Chicago) reaction to this situation?
I don’t understand how he could give the benediction, unless this wasn’t a mass.
<sarcasm>
He is risen?
</sarcasm>
Take this event and the crowd's reaction, add the political commentary from most white, conservative pundits and rightly conclude that there's a whole, 'nuther world out there that whitey does not fathom.
We are going to get this clown shoved down our throats. It will be unPC and "racist" to criticize him.
"..CHICAGO, January 18, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Catholic priest Father Michael Pfleger of the Archdiocese of Chicago wants people to know that pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage Senator Barack Obama “is the best thing to come across the political scene since Bobby Kennedy.”.."
Birds of a feather....

Do the people who cheered remember Welfare Reform? How about "Social Security Disability Reform"
Small wonder some priests are defrocked. This is enough to make be become a Lutheran.
“What was Cardinal George’s (archbishop of Chicago) reaction to this situation?”
You obviously don’t know the Chicago Archdiocese. Pfleger does what he wants and every cardinal running the Chicago Church just bends over and takes it.
This black wannabee has been causing problems since the early ‘90s, maybe earlier.
Years back, when Pfleger ws up for reassignment to another parish, a typical change-of-station assignment, he refused and threatened to start his own church.
The cardinal backed down because that would have meant the loss of what few black parishes are left of the South Side of Chicago.
I say let them all go. I’m tired of throwing in a second envelope on Sundays for some “poor, distressed South Side parish.”
So, I guess this congregation agrees whole-heartedly with Wright's racist, Marxist, black liberation rantings.
Reminds me of the response to the OJ verdict.
Because the problem in America is not white racism, it is black racism.
The key here is “raucous standing ovation”.
That shows that the problem is far from over. Anti-White racism is very strong and there is no sign of it abating.

Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.

If the clouds are full of rain, They empty themselves upon the earth; And if a tree falls to the south or the north, In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.
Ecclesiastes 11:4
He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.
Ecclesiastes 11:5
As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.
Ecclesiastes 11:6
In the morning sow your seed, And in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, Either this or that, Or whether both alike will be good.

But if a man lives many years And rejoices in them all, Yet let him remember the days of darkness, For they will be many. All that is coming is vanity.

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.

Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity.

5 SOLAS!
He drove in from the suburbs...
The problem with Catholicism embracing identity politics is that such movements literally encourage the sin of pride.
Wright’s “black value system” is a violent atrocity against everything that Christianity stands for.
Maya Angelou! How appropriate!

Dear Gus,
First, thank you for the invitation to the "brown bag" luncheon on Thursday, October 21. I look forward to attending.
I would like to restate my objection here to the assignment of Maya Angelou's I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings as mandatory reading for my daughter (and others in 9-H) this past summer. I choose to do this in writing because it affords me an opportunity to organize my thoughts and it will allow you to consider what I say before we meet. I would hope that this can be a topic for discussion next week.
xxxxxxx had to read Angelou's book along with Cather's My Antonia; and she selected Twain's Prince and the Pauper from a list of titles as her third summer reading book. No objective educated person would include Angelou with Twain and Cather on a list of books which ninth graders should be assigned, except perhaps if it were in connection with a political science course. But this was not for political science. It was for English.
After we spoke at Open House, I had an opportunity to discuss this with Mrs. xxxxxxx whom you indicated was responsible for the summer reading selections. She told me how widely respected Angelou was and did not seem interested in my objections.
My objections did not grow out of dislike for the poem Angelou read at the Presidential inauguration, though I admit to being turned off by her praise of every ethnic group save those which were primarily responsible for building this country and its institutions. Rather the objections arise from reading selections from her book on three pairs of facing pages I opened to at random.
This is a book of black hate. Read the passages with me and see if you do not agree. (Page references are to the Bantam Books paperback edition of 1971.)I laughed, too, but not at the hateful jokes made on my people. I laughed because, except that she was white, the big movie star [Kay Francis] looked just like my mother. Except that she lived in a big mansion with a thousand servants, she lived just like my mother. And it was funny to think of the whitefolks' not knowing that the woman they were adoring could be my mother's twin, except that she was white and my mother was prettier. Much prettier. [p. 99]" ... jokes made on ... " This is English? But the substance is more important. Only a bitter, ignorant person would assume that a person's appearance was the key to being a movie star. Talent probably has something to do with it, as well as persistence, and the other things that bring success in any field. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings." This is from material I read and remember from my high school days, but the Angelous of the world have a different message which is not the one we should be teaching our children. We also read about the seven deadly sins. As I remember it, envy was one of them. Angelou's logic is not very good either. If one person looks like another to the point of being a virtual twin then it does not make sense to describe one of the two as "prettier; much prettier." Does it? Also, I looked up "whitefolk" in my Webster's Ninth and did not find it. I think I know what it means though but I am not sure about the s' that follows. Will my daughter learn to write like this in her English class?Then I wished that Gabriel Prosser and Nat Turner had killed all whitefolks in their beds and that Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, and that Harriet Tubman had been killed by that blow on her head and Christopher Columbus had drowned in the Santa Maria. [p. 152]Nice! These were Angelou's thoughts while listening to a Commencement address at her high school graduation ceremony.The Black female is assaulted in her tender years by all those common forces of nature at the same time that she is caught in the tripartite crossfire of masculine prejudice, white illogical hate and Black lack of power. [p. 231]I have never heard any white male refer to a black female as a "Ho." But, of course it would be indelicate of Angelou to look to her own people for the causes of, and the solutions to, their problems. Maybe some of the problems that black females face are due to being seduced and abandoned by black males. Does this have to do with a lack of power? I think not. Blacks had much less economic and political power 50 years ago but as a group they had a strong family structure. Now after listening to the Angelous their collective family structure is in disarray. (It is cute, too, that the egalitarian Angelou chooses to capitalize black but not white.)
I am sorry I have gone on for so long. But I find these excerpts so absurd that I guess I get carried away. I wonder if a white woman brought a similar manuscript to Random House (the original publisher) whether they have spent more than half an hour with it. I doubt it.
What was the point of assigning this autobiography? Was it to demonstrate the artful use of the English language? Was it to serve as an example to my daughter of how to confront the problems she might face later in her own life? Or was it to bring Political Correctness to xxxxxxxxxx?
Alas, I know the answer. And as citizen, father, and taxpayer, I do not like it. I ask you to review the titles that students at xxxxxxxxxx are required to read with Mrs. xxxxxxx, and ask her to remove those that are there for political rather than literary reasons.
Very truly yours,
OBAMA/WRIGHT 08
