No mention that Black Liberation Theology is both Marxist and racist...

such total BS....traditional Catholics believe in marriage between a man and woman, they believe in children, lots of them, they believe abortion is murder....

I'm sure whatever happens it'll be twisted by a weak pope intent on being popular, not Catholic..

Nor that Obama has set himself against the fundamental teachings of the RC church.
This will be a bad move for Obama.
The Pope will bring wrath upon Obama.

Do you reject Obama? And all his works? And all his empty promises?

I DO.

NY Times tries to explain to readers how Catholic enemy Barry could have been nurtured in the “social justice” wing of the church and how to spin his meeting with Pope Francis.

There may be a revelation that Barry’s girlfriend in 1988 was named Saila. In the article there is this reference to Barry dating “another woman”:

quote

“He was a man of integrity, very much to my disappointment,” joked Cynthia Norris, then the director of the Chicago Archdiocese’s black Catholics office, who found the young Mr. Obama appealing. The future president, who was dating another woman, did turn to Ms. Norris for a Harvard Law School recommendation, and kept in touch during a trip to Europe in 1988.

“I wander around Paris, the most beautiful, alluring, maddening city I’ve ever seen; one is tempted to chuck the whole organizing/political business and be a painter” on the banks of the Seine, Mr. Obama scribbled to Ms. Norris, along with “Love, Barack,” on one side of a postcard. On the other was a picture of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame.

end quote

The picture image of the postcard is provided and it mentions that Ms Norris something in his mailbox (probably money) and he says “I trust Saila retrieved it.”

The reference to “Saila” by name was left out of the text of the article but reference to Barry dating “another woman” was included directly in context!

I couldn’t make out the “S” in Saila at first and didn’t recognize it as a name, male or female, but after an internet search it is a very rare girls name. The rarity should aid in finding out who this person was.

Yeah, the pro-abort, pro-homosexual marriage Barry will find the Pope in agreement. Yeah.

Horse pucky. Some forgotten girlfriend—if there was such a person—26 years ago?

The NY Times never misses a chance to bash the Catholic Church, because they know the Church is probably the most implacable enemy of their political dreams—abortion, gay marriage, sexualization of kindergartners, and all the rest of it.

Yes, there are a lot of pretty feeble bishops out there, who could do their jobs a lot better, but the church is still their main enemy.

Probably another composite character, just like the person using the Obama identity.

“What nationality or ethnic group uses the name?”

I haven’t had time to look, yet but if it was African American I would expect there would be thousands with “creative” variants.

In the Maraniss bio Barry was supposedly still dating white women at this time, IIRC.

There is only one comment from a mom with a “blonde haired, blue-eyed” girl at this site:

http://www.babycenter.com/baby-names-saila-222895.htm

bexyjean says

“I named my daughter Saila in 2003. She is 6 now, and everyone says “what a pretty name”. She is blonde haired, blue-eyed. Sometimes people miss pronounce it or misspell it, eventhough it is phonetical, but it is usually not much of a problem. I’m really happy with the name choice.”

This visit may just be for show and political gain on obama's part, but what he brings upon himself will depend upon him and his heart, as well as his intentions.

For his sake, I hope he can find some humble to wear for the occasion. I doubt bemused arrogance will go well for him.

The only thing “Catholic” about Obama’s “social engagement” is the fact that the pro-abortion, homosexual Cardinal Joseph Bernardin was involved in supporting Obama’s early career in Chicago.

Unlikely.

This Pope knows or cares nothing about North America. His most trusted U.S. advisers are abortionist-coddling bishops, Wuerl and O’Malley especially.

Ignorant tripe from a used rag of a paper.
