Commentary by Susan Brinkmann, OCDS
In what some are calling a stunning show of political indecorum, President Barack Obama has invited several individuals who publicly flout Catholic teaching to greet Pope Francis when he visits the White House next week.
Reporting for Breitbart, Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. is reporting on the questionable guest list which seems to have been put together to test the Popes tolerance level. Included in the gathering will be a pro-abortion religious sister named Sister Simone Campbell, who is executive director of the dissident social justice lobby named NETWORK. Campbell openly fought against the U.S. bishops during the Obamacare debates and helped organize the Nuns on the Bus tour to protest the budget of Rep. Paul Ryan.
Also on the list is retired Episcopal bishop Gene Robinson who was the first openly gay episcopal bishop in 2003 who has since divorced his long-time gay partner.
Mateo Williamson, a cross-dressing woman and former co-chairman of the Transgender Caucus for Dignity USA also received an invite to the exclusive meeting. Williamson considers herself to be a gay man.
Vivian Taylor, a 30 year-old transvestite, is also coming. Taylor is the former Executive Director of Integrity USA, the homosexual and transgender activist wing of the Episcopal Church.
A few months ago I received an invitation from the White House to attend the reception for Pope Francis, Taylor told CNS News. I was told I could bring several friends with me.
Though Pope Francis has said that he doesnt believe in judging persons and is ready to welcome anyone in Christs name, he has also said that Catholics do not accept the modern mentality of transgenderism and once said that gay marriage is the devils attempt to destroy Gods plan.
In his recent encyclical on the environment, the pope wrote: The acceptance of our bodies as Gods gift is vital for welcoming and accepting the entire world as a gift from the Father and our common home, whereas thinking that we enjoy absolute power over our own bodies turns, often subtly, into thinking that we enjoy absolute power over creation.
Williams says the invitees represent a stunning show of political indecorum.
I call it the height of arrogance that a world leader would publicly flout his own ideology in front of one of the worlds top religious leaders. Would he dare to include homosexuals, transvestities and dissidents to greet a head of state from a Muslim country where these people are routinely executed? Not a chance.
Shame on the White House for making a spectacle out of themselves at the Holy Fathers expense!
It is actually pretty standard. Many many of this people id as gay men.
My theory is that the world does not have room for unattractive women and instead becoming a man makes it better for them. Although I have not heard of one homosexual man who actually is interested in them sexually.
Well at least there will be a gay Muslim present.
Considering who is in power, I don’t know if I’d call her a “dissident.”
The insult is not to Francis; he is Bammy’s kind of guy.
The insult is to the Papacy, and the entire Judeo-Christian tradition.
If Francis says nothing about it we will know that his name should be Petrus Romanus.
What about Satan worshippers, and pagans - were none available.
All are Catholic in Name Only — CINOs
Can he be any more embarrassing. Next he’ll be flying them over to the Man’s Country bath house for a little R&R.
The Pope, a muslim, a Dissident Nun, a Gay Bishop and a Transvestite walk into the White House...
The White House will be playing “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight” and “Having a Gay Old Time” for this trio. Campbell is an old leftist from way back when.
After posting this, I don’t think I’m going to get an invite to the Red House. Been a long time since I was there. Let’s see, Feb, 1971, as part of a group to brief Pres. Nixon on what was going right in So. Vietnam and the need for more aid to Cambodia which was under a major No. Vietnamese attack.
Today people are being invited to see the President and tell him how to further aid ISIS, not our allies, the Kurds, fighting Iraqis, and what is left of the Christian communities in both Iraq and Syria.
My how times how changed!
My
Francis is personally inviting his own dissident bishops to participate in his own upcoming SinNod. Bishops who condone adultery, homosexual "unions", artificial birth control, etc.
Do the Popes Synod Picks Signal Support for Controversial Agendas?
He’s a narcissist. He’ll never know how big a jerk he is for that reason.
Imagine if the Watergate break-in had yielded evidence that the Dem nominee (not McGovern- despite his failings, he was a patriot and true war hero) was planning to do what the Obama Administration has done.
This information would have been leaked to the press and broadcast media. It would have been a big story. There could have been charges of treason considered if not prosecuted.
Nixon would have won by 75% of the popular vote rather than 60%.
If the break-in had been tied back to the Nixon White House in the midst of the firestorm, Nixon might even have been hailed as a hero for having stopped a communist/Muslim plot.
Indeed, how things have changed.
Instead let us pray the the Pope invites the Holy Spirit of God to slay this indignation before our nation in a calarion call to repentance.
