MIAMI — The priest prayed an Our Father. The president lit a candle. And while gazing together at a revered image of Cuba’s patroness, the priest reminded the president of the suffering of Cuba’s people.
“Only in the United States that’s possible,” said the Rev. Juan Rumin Dominguez, rector of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Charity in Miami, as he recalled the whirlwind, unexpected visit of President Barack Obama early Thursday afternoon.
The president was on his way to the airport after attending a Democratic fundraiser the night before and spending the morning at the National Hurricane Center.
“For me it was an honor and a sign that we live in a free country,” said Dominguez, himself a Cuban exile. “To be able to tell President Obama to his face about the feelings of thousands of people who visit the shrine every day.”
The shrine is a symbol of faith and hope for Cuba’s exiles since before their donated pennies paid for its construction in the early 1970s; now it is a first stop also for thousands of immigrants from Central and South America who continue arriving in South Florida.

Tell it to the salivating Catholics who initially posted those (and similar) threads. Or you could just consult the keyword thejourneyhome and wade neck-deep into it for yourself.
Meanwhile, I'm telling it to you ... since you're the one posting weird '0bama is Catholic' theories, supported by the testimony of the notoriously truthful (hah!) Michelle 0bama.
Phooey.
On the contrary - I'm the one posting satirical '0bama is Catholic' theories supported by the testimony of the notoriously self-absorbed Michelle 0bama, highlighing the similarity to the wishful thinking 'Bush will soon be Catholic' threads.
And hilariously, you took the bait :D
The president is not a Catholic (although his namesake Grandfather originally was).
Did he also go up and take communion?
What did he shock him with, a Taser?
An IRS audit?

False Idols???
That monkey thing, at least, is a genuine idol!
The pope with Reagan in Miami. That was an interesting walk.
He also has other items in his pocket. He showed it once. Lucky charm type things with a religious medal. Which means it all is like a lucky charms to this one. He does not take it seriously.
