“Medjugorie is a false apparition”

I agree it has done nothing but dilute the message of Fatima which is proven, and don’t think it is a coincidence that Our Lady appeared in Fatima when Mohammad’s daughter’s name was Fatima.....think about it-

If Obama was carrying a Miraculous Medal, it was 100% for P.R. reasons and this fact was revealed to the press deliberately. Carrying a religious medal means nothing per se. Unfortunately, Obama is right that there will be dopey Catholics who infer some sincere religious intent in Obama’s carrying a Miraculous Medal. We do indeed have to pray for Obama and for Congress, but we don't have to pay any attention to planted stories like this one.

More than likely, someone gave him the Medal and he uses/sees it, as a lucky charm.

It’s the year of St. Paul. I suggest we pray for a St. Paulesque conversion.

If not, it’s all for show.

It's all for show. First, I don't think his hands are that wrinkled. Second, Bush was a relatively private Christian, but the New guy (Zero) carries trinkets from every big religion except Islam around in his pocket every day???

And nobody minds????

Reality doesn't seem real anymore.

We always pray for him and Congress.These look like things you receive free in the mail.Like Hillary’s Madonna’s bracelet people gave him things.He cared about the people so put the things in his pocket.

that is too little too late, the bishops have been funding acorn for decades while acorn worked with the pro-aborts. Also, the CCHD funded the same Community Organization where obama worked, yes, the RCC helped to pay obama’s salary and still funds obama-like community organizations, you know, the socialist ones.

Obama is a satanic pagan whose god is molech, he loves to see children sacrificed and burned through abortion.

It gives me a glimmer of hope. But, reality says it's more likely just more audacity.

“It must count as one of the world’s great ironies at this, holiest site in the Iberian Peninsula, is named for Fátima, the daughter of the founder of Islam. “

yes, the town is named after the daughter.

The medal has an association with Medjugorje.

Well that explains it.

For your discernment. If this is true, regardless of his reasons, we need to pray for him and the Congress.

Not necessarily. Only if his spirit and soul are congruent with the teachings of Catholicism, which we know are not, by his words and deeds. Otherwise he is using it like a voodoo medal, simply for its magical effect. I hope it will backfire on him.
