A couple of readers responded to my recent post about the religions of Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell by asking why I didn't spend my time digging deeper into the religious history of President Obama.
As one of them reminded me, Obama attended school "in a MUSLIM country." A real reporter would keep probing, he said. I took that admonition to heart and went searching for clear evidence. And truly, I uncovered information that could be troubling to every real American.
In fact, Obama did spend several of his childhood years in Indonesia, the world's largest mostly-Muslim nation. He attended two schools. One, by all accounts, is a public school attended by affluent kids. The other, where he took classes for a couple of years, was in a poor neighborhood. And the record indicates this school engaged in daily religious indoctrination of its students, including prayers.
Is it a stretch to think that the young Obama might have had his beliefs shaped by his years at that school? The question must be asked: What did he learn and when did he learn it at Santo Fransiskus Asisi? Is it possible that President Obama is a secret Catholic? (I'm not the first person to raise the question, btw. )
Obama cleverly hid his Catholic history by only mentioning it in his autobiography and several interviews. But that hasn't stopped a few reporters from pulling out the facts. The anti-Obama troops at the Washington Post did a long profile of that Catholic school earlier this year.
The foreboding foreign name of the school actually translates into the deceptively friendly "Saint Francis of Assisi." Why would the school try to hide that if there were no nefarious schemes going on?
I know that other seekers after truth have tended to focus on Obama's distant connection with Islam. Historically speaking, however, Muslims haven't been great with conspiracies. They keep their animosities right out in the open. Did anybody think that al-Qaeda was a charity group, even before 9/11?
But Catholics? As any reader of "The DaVinci Code" knows, the Catholic Church can keep its secrets for centuries.
How implausible is it that a Dutch Catholic priest running a school in Jakarta would have identified a black, American tween with an Arabic name more than 30 years ago and marked him as a future president of the United States? And programmed him to do the Vatican's bidding? Attention must be paid!
I call upon the White House press corps to ask the hard questions the next time Obama is willing to face the queries:
Are you, Mr. President, a hidden Catholic, taking orders broadcast by the pope through the antenna in that tall hat he wears? Can you prove you are not a Catholic? If so, you should be able to produce a certificate of non-baptism signed by the priest who didn't baptize you.
If Obama is unable to answer the questions, I call upon every Catholic in the entire world to sign a certified statement disavowing any link between the president and their faith.
This is offensive, stupid, and reveals blind hatred and ignorance. I am appalled that anyone at FR could be this stupidly dangerous. The quality of FR posters must be seriously declining.
Brack sees his Messiah every morning when he looks in the mirror.
One thing I've noticed is that there are NO Presbyterians in the crowd ~ maybe some of the cousins transferred, but the closest you can come to it would be Christian Church membership.
When it comes to Lutherans, Catholics, Methodists, Episcopals, Baptists, and even white preachers in AME churches (surprised me, too, when I found that, but it was common in the 1800s), there are a bunch of them ~ but NOT Presbyterians.
I think it's an ethnic thing!
(It's also a mystery ~ but even the Scots in the line were NOT Presbyterians).
Cut-and-paste from the source usually helps to avoid surprises. Thanks for confirming that it works.

Oh, it certainly “works” ... it’s very revelatory.
Your ignorance of Catholicism is staggering.
obama and his communist dogma is counter to everything the Catholic church stands for.
Perhaps he was put in the Catholic school as a child because it was simply a better education than the public schools in the area, just like here in the good old US of A.
Only you would post this drivel.
Prove that he’s not a deranged follower John Gresham Machen. Show his certificate of non-membership in the Machenite Cult.

Isn’t the use of deranged a bit superfluous?
Gee, aside from his
extremist views against the sanctity of life,
having no record of attending Mass on American soil,
complete absence of participation in any Catholic sacrament, and
attendence at a Protestant church for 20 years
he certainly looks like a Catholic. Does the author think that David Duke is a Catholic too?
OH! OH! I’ve been bested!
A Catholic who agitates for newborn babies to be left to die?
Well, I suppose we have a few “Catholics” in our leadership who feel the same way.
Obviously, though, they are not true Roman Catholics.
This is offensive, stupid, and reveals blind hatred and ignorance. I am appalled that anyone at FR could be this stupidly dangerous. The quality of FR posters must be seriously declining.

Indeed! And it bears repeating.
Second, his outward views and policies are the antithesis of Catholicism, especially abortion.
Third, sound likes someone has a hugh anti-Catholic bias.
WTH?
Anti-Catholic bigotry gone wild?
it’s a unique form of Catholicism that leads a man to not only see abortion as a compassionate act that prevents women from being punished with a child...
but also leads him to vote twice against the “Born Alive
Protection Act”

That's "troubling".
At least, it's "troubling" to leftist idiots ... and perhaps also troubling to those who publish the deranged scribblings of leftist idiots.
BTW, leftist idiot presstitutes speak a weird language ... do normal people describe things as "troubling"? When was the last time you heard that word in normal conversation?
