Obama’s latest invite for Pope Francis: a Catholic schoolteacher fired over her gay ‘marriage’
LifeSite News ^ | September 22, 2015 | Lisa Bourne

The lesbian teacher fired from a Philadelphia-area Catholic school after complaints over her homosexual “marriage” has been invited to the White House to attend the welcoming ceremony for Pope Francis.

[Snip]

The women, who were already planning to attend papal events in Washington D.C. and the World Meeting of Families, were reportedly “giddy” about the news of their invitation.

"Obviously we won't be talking to the pope, but we will be in the vicinity," Winters said of the White House event. "But symbolically, it's a great step forward."

Obama hates Yaweh, and his invites demonstrate his hatred and contempt for Yaweh. The gays and they defiant hates of God that he invited to this table with the pope shows Obama wants to shove the sin into the face of the pope. Satan did the same thing to Jesus in the temptations in the wilderness. Will the pope be able to resist these taunts and temptation from Satan?

Stay tuned..........

LOL.

And let’s see, how many homosexual activists did he invite to the Ramadan celebrations at the White House?

I suspect that most of the men were closet homos like himself.

Oh I love that point! I would guess, none. The risk would have been too great because it would have offended Obamas religion and then, of course, there is always the specter of a WH accidental beheading.

This creep did a similar thing for the Sochi Winter Olympics:

I’m not a canon lawyer, and there are specific regulations about excommunication that I know little about.

But I can tell you this.

The absolute REFUSAL to address this from this Pope on down the bishops...the tepid, wishy-washy attitudes of the hierarchy to let crap like this happen and NOT come down on it like a ton of bricks has led directly to the loss of souls. People are going to hell because these milquetoasts have a reputation to protect. And the hellbound are not just the people entering these fake Sodomitic abominations. Even *attending* such an event, objectively speaking, would be a mortal sin. Yet I see Catholic friends and relatives speaking up for these—pardon my Italian—disgraziati—as if they were doing the world a favor.

If it were up to a lot of us, the excommunications would be public and flying left and right, starting with Pelosi and the rest of her ilk. There should be NO doubt in any one’s mind where a Catholic stands.

Then there are a ton of other penalties that could be invoked here. I am all for bringing back the interdict—which is when a bishop suspends all the sacraments from a church or diocese. But none of this is happening because....well because few of these people want to stick their necks out and guard the faithful.

Grania, you are asking very good questions. Lord knows most of us faithful Catholics have been asking them for the last 40 years. I don’t have a good answer for you, except that Christ let Judas be an Apostle, even knowing who and what he was.

Meanwhile we pray, raise our families right, and hope God lifts this scourge from us soon.

It is good for these folks to meet the pope, see that he doesn’t hate them personally, but that they hate him for representing what God asks us to live - maybe they will see him and have a change of heart - all thanks to, and including, Obama.

The effect will likely not be immediate - but that’s why Catholics don’t behead - we leave it up to your free will, and you have a lifetime of that, however short or long, to come to grips with that. Then God makes a decision!

In effect he is saying, with a smile and a handshake, UP YOURS.

He is completely despicable. An arrogant, punk, probably gay, MUSLIM. Maybe they all sat around in a meeting laughing about how funny it would be to include such people. I’m surprised Clockboy isn’t invited.

I guess we should feel lucky he hasn’t turned the American military on We The People.....yet.

Pope Francis operates in a totally different way. As for the seeing eye to eye with Odemon, I doubt it. People are quick to bash because they secretly want to.

If you understand what the Pope did to Fidel Castro with his gift to him over the weekend, you may begin to understand how this Pope operates.

Oldbrowser, I've had it with this attitude. Had it. Missionary my eye....my Catholic relatives dare present themselves for the sacraments in support of these and other worse heretics, and when I upbraid them, they freaking look at me as if I had two heads...Oh but Francis this....Francis that.

Dang it man, the missionary effort not only has not worked, it's given every phony prelate cover to neglect the faithful in the pews. Francis's goal first and foremost should be to teach the faith to Catholics in its entirety, and THEN reach out. He's freaking out there repainting the mailbox while the house is on fire.

We are starving here for support against this obscene heresy of Sodomism, and we get none from this guy who *should* have used this visit to personally upbraid people like Pelosi and Sotomayor for the disgusting behavior.

I feel the same as you do. I'm trying to find a positive in what appears a double cross by the Pope. He seems to be catering to the communist in Cuba and the perverts in America.

I'm hoping that it's diplomacy, first you have to get in the door. Then you start to move them in the right direction gradually. If you go in preaching hell fire and damnation, they will just shut down communications.

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. This Pope is first and foremost a rabid anti-Capitalistic Marxist loving fraud.

Religion is way, way down the list of this Pope's passion.

As a lifelong Catholic, I left the Church years back over the relentless Social Justice garbage pushed by many Jesuit Priests.

The Church will survive this evil leftism.

Actually no, and as you won’t investigate it yourself I will give you the ‘Cliff’s Notes’. He shamed Castro. He presented him with a book and a CD set containing a collection of homilies from a Cuban priest. Big deal you say. Well, this Cuban priest was one of Fidel Castro’s teachers. He talked about how good he was as a student and that he had high hopes for him. Subsequently, after the revolution, this priest was forced into exile with many of the other priests ministering to the Cuban people. He ended up in Florida with many other Cuban refugees with nothing and had to start their lives over. This priest travelled around Florida, connecting with his Cuban parishoners, checking on them and to some extent reuniting them in Florida.

The gift was some good old fashioned Catholic guilt to Castro about a young priest that treated Castro as his own son (probably better than his family treated him) and in return he was forced to flee Cuba in exile. It was also a small offering in hopes that the gift might trigger a shot at redemption for Castro - for a repentance and reconciliation.

You can go on about Marxism, but you would show you have not invested much thought into Pope Francis’ background. He spent many many years and faced threats and persecution for fighting and preaching against liberation theology and socialism in South America.

There are people in my nominal parish-well, okay, by people I mean women- who are gushing about the papal visit, and the vibrant feeling the Pope is giving to the Church...I suspect most of these women voted for Obama as well...

There is no amount of conversation that will ever change their minds, and if questioned about the Obama invitees, I wager they would see little, if anything wrong about it...

Although the photo above of the two little darlings might be enough to do the trick...
