It is one of the most basic foundations of the Christian faith. We do not worship idols, the state, political leaders, or anything beneath the dignity of a Christian. Obama has no right to be worshipped or venerated. He has promoted grave evil by signing orders to fund abortions and embryonic stem cell research. Catholics have a moral and spiritual duty to oppose his policies, self-aggrandizement, and attempts to solicit worship and submission.
People are vulnerable to worshipping the State or political leaders when they have not been offering proper worship to God. When the political leader is a heretic who promotes evil he is more likely to demand improper worship of himself and to be confused about his status and position in the larger scheme of things.
