I pray this happens. I think the bishops are beginning to realize that they’re dealing with a committed Marxist devil.

—— This is exactly what the Chinese Communist govt does with their `state-run catholic church`.- ——

Will we see a “Patriotic Catholic Church,” led by Notre Dame and the Jesuits? Stay tuned....

Hearing that the Obama Administration had the audacity to tell Catholic leaders how to interpret Catholic teaching doesn't surprise to me.

This quote from an August 2011 National Review article aptly describes Obama's view of those who disagree with him:

There’s one major reason to doubt this explanation, namely that the president is one of the smartest people in the world, and whenever something goes wrong, it’s generally not because he made a mistake, but because he didn’t explain himself well enough, and that’s obviously his listeners’ fault, because he’s the greatest orator since Lincoln, so he’s obviously able to explain himself, but you have to be smart enough to follow him, you see.
Clearly, Catholic leaders are not as smart as Obama. /s

The government’s recent intrusion into religion is terrifying. If this is what’s happening now, imagine what will be going on with four more years of Hussein minus a re-election in his future. We WILL be destroyed.

Cardinal Dolan should not have been surprised—that was exactly how Obama pretended to cooperate with the Republicans in Congress—set up meetings where no give-and-take takes place but Obama or his minions just restate their position and try to make the other side look like it is being unreasonable and is to blame for the failure to reach an agreement.

The bishops need to realize and accept that they've got political subversives in their midst and they're using the Church in an inappropriate manner to achieve nefarious ends.

Get used to it, kaffirs. The Caliphate does not tolerate differing views.

RE: 29

And you are right.
Quite remarkable when you think about it. Here are a group of people (unfortunately leaders of our Country) who care only about appearances and the facade. As you said, they staged a similar game with the Republican Congressmen, as they did with the Bishop's people. Childish and deceitful. They may consider themselves to be 'masters of politics', but in the end their actions are just lies.
A word search of 'abomination', seems to talk a lot about this gang. Here are a couple examples:

Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

Proverbs 11:20 They that are of a froward [distorted; hence, false:--crooked, froward, perverse] heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

This administration has got to go this fall.

I cannot help but wonder if this will finally open the eyes of the Black church to the leftist liberals they've so long been allied with. Once upon a time I would have held out some hope, but I've long come to believe that if that time were ever to come it would have come long ago. The Black churches don't seem to care how far to the Left or anti-religious Obama is; he's "one of them" (while conservative Blacks are treated as lepers). And yet they go right on worshiping like gap-toothed West Virginia snake-handlers.

How can "religious people" be so blind, deaf, dumb, and/or stubborn?

——The bishops need to realize and accept that they’ve got political subversives in their midst and they’re using the Church in an inappropriate manner to achieve nefarious ends——

Fortunately, a lot of the sixties generation is retiring. The new, younger bishops seem to be fairly reliable. They’re all pretty weak when it comes to welfare programs. They’re receiving poor seminary training in that regard.

Subsidiarity and natural law. Repeat as necessary.

Cardinal Dolan, there’s nothing to discuss.

Thanks. My Catholic relatives are mad as he!! about what is being done to their Church.
They don't want to stay members if it keeps changing in a left leaning manner and yet they can't bring themselves to actually leave as they know nothing but the Catholic Church. They simply don't go any longer except for the special holiday Mass.
