Obama offends Catholics in the UK, says religious schools are divisive
BizPac Review ^

The Catholic media is up in arms over comments President Obama made during a speech while in Northern Ireland for the G8 summit. Obama made what is described as “an alarming call for an end to Catholic education,” in spite of the fact that it is considered “a critical component of the Church.”

Yeah that’s what I thought. Polling. The same polling that had Gore beating Bush in 2000, Kerry beating Bush in 2004 and Romney beating Obama in 2012.

Some people will believe anything. Especially if it feeds their bigotry.

I wonder if he'll say the same thing about Islam? I am guessing not.

You catch on fast!

This Catholic didn't vote for that Marxist maggot! There's nothing he'd like better than to shut down the Catholic Church altogether.

He sands his own kids to an elite private school but calls Catholic schools divisive.

He hasn’t got a brain in his head/.

Well that is because Urkel is a product of the religion of peace, love and tolerance from his birth in Kenya to his early education in Indonesia to his pot club in Hawaii.

The “media” won’t even touch this, but they were oh-so-eager to pounce on even the slightest of gaffes by Romney during his visit there last year.

I’m glad to hear this. Catholics who voted for him here or supported him over there need a wake up call.

“If towns remain divided—if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can’t see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to harden—that too encourages division and discourages cooperation,” Obama said.”

Major bovine stuff. This is a call to dismantle all Christian religious institutions for ones that have prayer rugs and minarets.

If Georgetown was actually a Catholic school its staff would be offended but since it’s not a Catholic school they cheered when they heard this.

Actually, if only Catholics voted, Obama would have lost in the electoral college.

Everyone who voted for him needs a wake-up call, no matter their religion, race, or gender.

Again, looking at it state by state, shows that Obama would have lost in an election with only Catholics. Catholics in New York went for Romney!

” Obama claimed that Catholic education divides people and blocks peace, according to the Scottish Catholic Observe”

What about Muzzie schools like you attended in Indonesia?

That’s true. And they will get a wake up call, one way or another. The problem is that they won’t understand.

I am not a Catholic hater. Quite the opposite. I only can go by what I read since I do not hear Catholics in mass standing up disputing these claims.
