The 6th Annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast will take place on May 8, 2009:
6th Annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast
Mass Thursday, May 7, 6:30 pm The Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle 1725 Rhode Island Avenue, N.W. ----
National Catholic Prayer Breakfast Friday, May 8 - 7:45 am Hilton Washington 1919 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. (Doors open at 6:45 am - Rosary at 7:15 am)
Among those who already believe this event to be just some "right-wing" Catholic gathering organized by "stalwart Republican operatives" to "advance the divisive partisanship of the right and seek to hijack Catholic teaching for the Republican agenda", the line-up of speakers is sure to raise some hackles:
""Our keynote speaker is His Excellency, Archbishop Emeritus of St. Louis, Raymond L. Burke, who serves as the Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura and President of the Commission for Advocates.
Our special guest speaker is The Honorable Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.""
I do hope that President Obama is invited and will attend. This type of event is EXACTLY the sort of forum at which Catholics should be "engaging the culture" and at which the sort of "dialogue" with President Obama of which we hear so much should be taking place.

May not be carried live on EWTN this year because the Pope’s visit to the Holy Land also begins Friday.

The Left hates the Prayer breakfast so you know they must be doing a good job.

Excellent speakers. And, no, the President will NOT attend, although he has been invited. Announced elsewhere. THe President will not attend any Pra;yer breakfast this year. He will “pray privately as he does every day” according to Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs.
“He will “pray privately as he does every day” “
Yeah.....sure (sarc)...
Why are you skeptical? Of course he prays every day... five times...
Nahhh....I have honestly always thought that he was (and is) an opportunistic, atheistic Marxist.
** Announced elsewhere. THe President will not attend any Pra;yer breakfast this year.**
In a way this is good; as Obortion Obama distances himself from Catholics and other Christians, those who voted for him will abandon him and vote Republican in the next round of elections.
Watching!
Lots of mirrors in the White House.
