France's First Lady said that the Church's teachings had left her feeling "profoundly secular". She departed from her post's traditional religious neutrality to accuse the Pope of "damaging" countries in Africa with his stance on birth control.

Yet some freepers are still convinced her pro-abortion, pro-gay, EU/UN-loving, arab-loving, envirowacko, gun-grabbing swinger husband is a "conservative" President.

If Sarkozy had his first marrage annulled, then his second marriage would be recognized by the church as legit.

When Jacqueline Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis, a divorced man, if I recall correctly, Pope Paul VI denounced her and in effect called her a public sinner.

“When I hear about people saying that the Church needs to evolve, they are usually in a lifestyle that doesn’t agree with it. The Catholic church is not going to evolve to the point of accepting your lifestyle Miss Bruni, so stick it.”

Exactly! Actually, her slutty past constitutes adultery, whether she was married or not. The Church is quite strict on sexual relations outside of marriage. She can always repent and return, but until then don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Carla!

Good description. Sarkozy is basically the French version of Rudy Giuliani.

I think Bruni is actually Sarkozy's THIRD wife. The odds of getting two annulments in the Catholic Church are probably very slim.

Funny. She sounds like the kind of thing you would put a condom on.

Didn't she leave her first husband, a much older man, for her own stepson?

Yes that is true.

However, I do not believe that is the case here.

Yikes!

I didn’t hear about that!If that’s true, than she is even worse than I thought.

Bruni is terribly ignorant. Africa has been given so many condoms that they use them for decorations, but the only program that has slowed AIDS in Africa is abstinence. Apparently the European MSM is even more of a trash propaganda outlet than in the U.S., or she would know that. Unless maybe she was...er...busy. Viva Benedict! Viva Il Papa!

From Wiki so take it FWIW:

While living with Jean-Paul Enthoven, Bruni fell in love and started an affair with his son, philosophy professor Raphaël Enthoven (the song "Raphäel" from Bruni's album Quelqu'un m'a dit is named after him), who was at the time married to novelist Justine Lévy, daughter of philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy.[17] Bruni later denied ever having an affair with Raphaël's father in an interview published in Vanity Fair, "I never slept with him, not even a minute."[3]

The affair and the ending of her marriage were inspiration for Justine's 2004 book Rien de Grave (published in English in 2005 as Nothing Serious). In it, she paints a vitriolic portrait of "Paula", the surgically-enhanced model who steals the protagonist's husband and describes her as "a preying mantis" and "a leech of a woman with a Terminator smile".[18]

Bruni and Raphaël had a son, Aurélien, in 2001. The couple broke up in May 2007 because Raphaël thought their relationship did not have a commitment, as she told Vanity Fair.

I'm afriad not. Their second marriage was not witness/approved by the Church, so they are in fact still living in sin, publicly.

We really care what a former fashion model says
________

Apparently we do when her name is Carrie Prejean.

Agreed. I was just presenting an ‘if’ scenario.

Carrie Prejean was asked by a hostile judge about an issue that had nothing to do with her business, which was that of being a beauty pageant contestant, and did not go around talking about random issues based on the fact that she was a beauty contestant (or, in the case of Carla, married to somebody important).

The only people who made Prejean’s statements either important or political were those in the media.

“The only people who made Prejean’s statements either important or political were those in the media.”

Case in point: that dirty old goat Keith Olbermann. He obsessively covered the Ms. Prejan “story” as if it were as important as 9/11 coverage. His real agenda was secretly leering and lusting after the lovely Ms. Prejan. Keith Olbermann: What a transparent old perv.

A if they are such good observant Catholics that they will obey the Popes and Churches teaching on no birth control why are they, you know, ignoring the Churches teachings on no premarital sex and no adultery?

Couldn't possibly be that they are screwing anything that moves, and then bringing aids back to their spouses, and eventually leaving their children orphans.

Nope, it's the Popes fault.
