Closet Catholic In the White House? (you be the judge)

I believe that was on election night. Bush was seen sitting next to a table set
with a small reproduction of the Orthodox Madonna and Child similar to this:

[Deo volente]

Anyone recall the photo of President Bush sitting next to a table on which was a religious icon?

[bobjam]

Bush has always shown great respect for conservative religious leaders, particularly the Rev’d Dr. Billy Graham and Pope John Paul II. Pope Benedict XVI would be no different. This stems from Bush’s stong personal relationship with the Risen Lord and his strong understanding of good vs evil.

Isn’t the “secret” Jesuit/Knights of Malta(they’re the same thing) oath is banned from the religion forum for being thoroughly debunked?

[Liz]

Yeah, RR’s father was Catholic, his mother, a Protestant, raised him same. His brother Moon was raised Catholic.

There are churches which celebrate services in Aramaic—the language of Christ.

Notwithstanding to NYer

W seems to be Catholic at his core. Certainly moreso than Tony Blair.

Perhaps W will have announce his intellectual conversion once he leaves office.

awesome post, had me chuckling along....

man, have i heard all those over and over and over...

[Beloved Levinite]

I have no knowledge of that. SO if that oath is fake, show me the real one.

[raygunfan]

im not surprised about those and their thoughts of icons and statues, but their continual lies, misinformation and downright ignorance over the true meaning....and the strawmen they build with that ‘knowledge’....

[Beloved Levinite]

“The Knights in the White House I got from my K of C State Deputy. He said 30 Knights (without swords) have been training for 2 months in preparation for the event. It was President Bush who made the request. EWTN will be carrying the event.”

Wonderful.

[AppyPappy]

Did I “offend” you and create an “environment of fear”? :)

[lastchance]

Oh gosh how could I have left that one out.

[Natural Law]

Ding....Ding.....Ding.....Ding....Ding

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

This is the single most offensive post I have ever read on Free Republic.

[Deo volente]

LOL!
You just about covered it, but you left out one thing:

The Knights of Columbus put out contracts on people who give them trouble.

(I actually had a protestant man tell me one time the Knights were trying to kill him!)

[Beloved Levinite]

Andy are you a K of C? I’d like to find an official copy of your oath. Can you provide it here?

[NYer]

I think you forgot a few. Doesn’t the Pope chew AA batteries and shoot lightning bolts out of his fillings, which were stolen from concentration camp victims when he was in the SS?

ROFL!! STOP! I'm choking on my salad.

[Campion]

I'm not sure which "secret oath" you're talking about, but if it's the infamous Knights of Columbus "secret oath" quoted in the Congressional Record around the year 1915, you should know:

1. It was read into the Congressional Record for the purpose of denouncing it as a forgery, a context which Catholic-haters invariably forget to mention
2. It's a forgery
3. Because it's a forgery, it's banned on the FR Religion Forum

Real Christians don't willingly believe lies about other people. Even if you don't consider us to be Christians (you're wrong), Catholics are still "other people".

[Petronski]

Secret oaths ping.

[Tax-chick]

Uh-oh! Did I reveal one from 4th Degree Knights of Columbus secret list? They’ll never let me wash dishes at a fish fry again!

[xsmommy]

yeah your remarks are real sidesplitters. insulting a fellow freeper’s religion is about as low as you can get. i sincerely cannot fathom why you get off on it so, and how you think it is something God would condone.
