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.....

....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.

Covert Catholic??? No, Covert Muslim maybe, but not anything approaching Christian.

As evident by two different speeches the past week, he doesn't believe in our Creator! ...and the inalienable rights He bestows on us.

“But Catholics? As any reader of “The DaVinci Code” knows, the Catholic Church can keep its secrets for centuries. “

You are aware, are you not, that the DaVinci Code is a work of fiction.

He’s an Obomunist (overt), with Moslem highlights. Not a sympathizer of Catholicism. Was “present” at the school.

Alex, Alex, Alex ...

Zero is no Catholic. Not even remotely.

Zero is a covert "Orthodox Presbyterian" ... yes ... prove that he isn't! Prove that he's not a deranged follower John Gresham Machen. Show his certificate of non-membership in the Machenite Cult.

I’m no expert, but wouldn’t his pro infanticide position be frowned upon in the Vatican?

Seems the same accusations were made for the first Catholic president, JFK.

He hides it because he’s afraid he’ll be taken out like Kennedy by a cadre of anti-Catholic crackpots at this site, aiming from The Smok(e)y Backroom.

Was the public school attended by the affluent children a muslim school? How much time did he spend in each? What was the religion of his parents both biological and step? What religion did he say he was and then had to be corrected by a democrat stooge? The author is flippant and arrogant and didn't manage to answer any questions...it's simply more mockery.

BTW...while the Church is far from perfect there aren't a lot of Catholic terrorists running around nor are we at war with a Catholic nation. Does the author honestly think he can make any realistic comparison between Catholics and muslims?

This Southern Baptist would consider it a relief if it was conclusively proven that Obama was a Catholic, or any other form of Christian and not a Muslim.

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.

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.

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?

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.

First of all, why would it be troubling if he were a Catholic?

Second, his outward views and policies are the antithesis of Catholicism, especially abortion.

Third, sound likes someone has a hugh anti-Catholic bias.

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”
