This is also being done to taunt and hopefully create a crisis with the Catholic Church. So far, despite the fact that many bishops are more Dem than Catholic, the Church is the only institution that has consistently opposed Obama’s pro-death policies. With the recent words from Abp Burke in Rome, it also seems as if the bishops are going to be forced to start publicly excommunicating some of the more blatant offenders among the pro-abortion “Catholic” politicians.

The Obama team’s approach is simply going to be to pick prominent pro-abortion Catholics and dare the bishops to take action. If they do, no doubt the Government will try to go after them legally by saying they are interfering in politics, although abortion is not political but moral and ethical and excommunication is not political but an internal matter of Church discipline. However, one thing that is very important for this Brave New World is the image of unity, and if Barry cannot co-opt the Church and get it to go along by forming “faith committees,” etc., then the gloves are off. Dissent will not be tolerated.

I think the Obama team (people like Ayers, Emmanuel, etc.) also hope to create a split in the Church. They know that there is a sizable number of bishops who are leftists and really don’t care about abortion, and that there are very large numbers of Catholics who would vote Dem no matter what (as we saw during the election). I think the Obamanoids hope to create a situation where the orthodox bishops will be marginalized and you will then at some point have the declaration of a new American Church, a Patriotic Church type of entity which will, of course, get all the property of that old Roman Catholic Church. Once they’ve created a new entity the old one will then be declared a subversive organization.

I used to think this would take a long time to happen, but I don’t think so anymore. Obama is moving with incredible speed.

Maybe it is time to separate the goats from the lambs.

Obambi is no match for the real Catholic Church.
