Obama Adviser Stands by Statement That Pope Benedict XVI Is 'Hurting People in the Name of Jesus'

Harry Knox, an adviser to President Obama’s Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, is standing by a statement he made last March that Pope Benedict XVI is “hurting people in the name of Jesus.”

When asked on Tuesday whether he still holds that view, Knox said, “I do.”

In addition to serving on the president’s Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, Knox is the director of the religion and faith program at the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a homosexual activist group.

Yep... Knox must believe he's serving with the Messiah.

Can't have anyone else offer conflicting testimony as to who the real Messiah is, and how he should be followed.

Well, this just continues the Administration’s batting streak: they remain all-for-all in picking the wrong side of an argument and irreparably dedicating themselves to promiting it.

If I may be so bold, Mr. Knox, this is probably not the best way to introduce yourself.

Having faith in a faux messiah is like going through life on false hope and spare change. Where did Obama go to get this cast of kooks he call’s an administration? The looney bin?

I’m not RC but after reading this the Pope went way up in my estimation.

This has to be the first US administration ever to attack the Pope.

This administration seems to revel in attacking those things that are rooted in American ideals and tradition as they seek to redefine all through the prism of the ‘messiah’ Obama.

Let's see...attacks the Pope, attacks the Supreme Court, attacks business. Can Mom, apple pie and baseball be very far behind?

That the Catholic Church is the cause of all that’s wrong in the world is a commonly held belief. Open admission from a public official I find suprising.

Knox worships at the feet of Obama. The Pope is certainly not afraid to follow Jesus, to be a real Christian on fire with what the Church teaches. The Pope is not here to win friends and influence people with worldly morals, he is here to do God’s Will and that bugs Harry Knox.

For the irony-impaired, here’s facts on how abstinence slashes the incidence of AIDS:

: Uganda has experienced the greatest decline in HIV of any country in the world. Ten years ago, 1991-2000, HIV infection rates in Uganda declined from about 15 percent to 5 percent. Among pregnant women in the capita, Kampala, HIV prevalence dropped from about 30 percent to 10 percent. Similar declines have continued until the present. How did Uganda do it?

The crucial factor was a national campaign against sexual behaviors that spread disease. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the Ugandan government, working with church and community organizations, delivered an ABC prevention message: (A) Abstain from sex until marriage, (B) Be faithful to your spouse, or (C) use Condoms if abstinence and fidelity are not practiced.

The link between Uganda's "ABC" approach and the dramatic reduction in the country's HIV/AIDS rate is clear. Uganda did it. All Africa could do it. The United States --- if we had the intelligence --- could do it as well.

No one ever died because of the Pope saying "practice the moral virtues."

“No one ever died because of the Pope saying “practice the moral virtues.”

Oh, but sexual repression is just the worst thing ever, don’cha know. It causes all sorts of psychosexual pathologies.

Or was that porn and twisted sexuality that cause those?

Oh, well, at any rate, think of all the women who die in childbirth. They could have avoided that just by murdering their babies. Or by having a c-section, or any one of a number of different ways.

Just remember, when they say “choice,” choosing life is not among your options. The most important thing is that the gods be fed the lives of innocents.

Tell you what, Knox - why don’t we have your messiah fight our messiah and see who wins. Game?

“Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.” (Matthew 10:34-39 NASB)

John 15:18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.” 19: “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”

There is a huge, multi-billion dollar AIDS industry, largely run by designated gay people. Like the government welfare industry, individuals working in such organizations may mean well, but the basic purpose of any such government fund bureaucracy is to grow and expand.

The more condoms they shovel into Africa, the more AIDS is spread. And the more government funds are needed to “fight” AIDS by spreading it. And the more the organization grows.

As I said, I don’t know how many of them know exactly what it is they are doing, and how damaging it is. But that’s how it works. Welfare is designed to break up families and increase illegitimate births—not really a big secret, since it was widely talked about. AIDS is much the same. They are both ways to appeal to taxpayer sympathy making use of human hardship, while actually increasing the problems.

Okay, so 0bama has a hand picked pervert running the "Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships" (yet another unconstitutional piece of garbage) and he attacks the Pope. If 0bamination doesn't say anything (what to speak of kick him off the position) we know that 0bamination shares those views. Of course, we know that right now anyway. I'm so sick of this vileness that if I had high BP it would be in the stratosphere.
