Pope Francis must have vomited when he heard the Hobby Lobby news. Nothing could undo the good he has recently done the Churchs image more than yet another case of anti-woman lashing out by a cabal or far right Roman Catholic activists this time in the Supreme Court.
Alarmed by the Supreme Court pandering to the extreme religious right in the Hobby Lobby case, the new pope might ask Who is responsible for this? The answer is: Many people. However two people are the real instigators: the late evangelical far right activist, Charles Colson, and Roman Catholic far right ideologue and anti-gay activist, Princeton Professor Robert George. Their tool has been Justice Antonin Scalia the other Roman Catholic members of the Court.
George is a close friend and co-conspirator with fellow ultra-conservative far right Roman Catholic ideologues including with Scalia who became the ringleader of the GOPs Court-driven Hobby Lobby lunge into theocratic politics. George is the de facto father of the twinned war against gays and war against women. Scalia is his follower and close friend. And George has the support of the U.S. Roman Catholic bishops, the Mormon leadership and the most conservative of the evangelical leaders. Charles Colson was Georges close confident. Together they hatched the plan that in the end (and after Colson died) became the Hobby Lobby case.
Way back when, the late Charles Chuck Colson teamed up with George of to launch the dirty tricks campaign to brand President Obama as anti-religious. They decided to use the issue of contraception as the hinge to turn people against him.

Apparently the conversion didn’t take.
I don't know. It's a very bizarre religion. There's no original sin or innate total depravity; J*sus didn't die in anyone's place; it's ethnic, withdrawn, and quietistic; it appeals to new agers; it promises "deification;" and even the ultra-conservative Father Seraphim Rose (after discovering the Church Fathers were young earth creationists) didn't want to go there because he didn't want to be associated with those awful "fundies."
Sounds to me like the conversion took pretty well.
Good and accurate post.
Frankie Schaeffer had devolved into a leftist political hack. He suffers from “living in daddy’s shadow” syndrome knowing he could never hold a candle to Francis Schaeffer SR’s gifted “Renaissance man” intelligence.
I will add his father Francis Schaeffer Sr. was probably the best Christian apologist of the 20th century warning us modernism would progress to what we call 'post modern' today. He was at the vanguard of Christian apologetics before many others jumped on his bandwagon. Read most of his works. All focused on answering the skeptic and atheist. Not taking swings at various denominations of Christianity. He focused on the intellectual/academia scholarly atheist type. Focused on presenting the Gospel to them in "their language" and taking them to task in debates and seminars. He would even invite atheist scholars to his L'Abri retreat.
Extreme doubt obtains in *my* mind that there is a sufficient quantity of said lithium, either mined already, or still in the earth's bosom, to help him with curing his delusions...

He repeats the same talking points from over a decade ago mixed with the usual anti-Christian hate. His fear of conservatives/Christians is second only to his fear of thinking for himself.
With much nicer hats and beards.

The hysteria abounds. So much for tolerance by the left.
I think you are correct. There are rough times ahead.
You ought to put Molon Labe under the image of the rifle.
While GOD asks...

What's it been now?
Franky Schaeffer claiming Pope Francis is on his side? Goes to show that the Left is ignorant of who Francis is. Back in March, the Greens meet with Pope Francis and other officials of the Vatican.
