Kamala Harris’s Catholic Problem

Kamala Harris’s Catholic Problem

It will come up again, should she be chosen as a running mate.

“Perhaps the deepest and most troubling mystery of Kamala Harris’s tenure as a prosecutor centers on the disturbing issue of sexual abuse of children by priests,” writes Peter Schweizer in Profiles in Corruption. As a senator, Harris has been a loud critic of those who protect “predators” — a rich charge, given her woefully negligent record as district attorney of San Francisco and attorney general of California, notes Schweizer: “During her decade-and-a-half tenure as a chief prosecutor, Harris would fail to prosecute a single case of priest abuse and her office would strangely hide vital records on abuses that had occurred despite the protests of victims groups.”

Should Kamala Harris be chosen as a vice presidential running mate, this issue will come up again, and she will have to explain her soft approach toward abuse in the Church.

Douglas Emhoff is Kamala Harris’ husband. White guy.

Harris will endorse Biden in exchange to a spot on the ticket. The only question is whether her endorsement is enough to stop the Sanders surge in California.

I agree. A "woman of color" is the logical Democrat way to balance out a white male geezer like Biden or Bernie. If it's not Kamala, then who? AOC? She's ineligibly young. Not Stacey Abrams. She ain't ready for prime time. Who else have they got? Maisy Hirono? She's dumber than a box of rocks.

Martin Luther King must be turning in his grave. For him it was all about CONTENT of CHARACTER, not skin color.
Now the opposite is true...it seems.

If one of your parents was born in a different country, you are not a citizen?

If one of your parents was born in a different country you MIGHT be "entitled." That is, if "different" means Asian Oriental, African and Latino (every place south of our border).
No-no countries: Any European, Australia, Canada and America...that is, white. ALL other countries are P.C.

That is what most of the media put out. Minorities rule many T.V. shows and movies. The T.V. minorities are shoved down our throats and stay on even if they get ONE viewer.
The T.V. programs that draw oodles of fans are ones like BLUE BLOODS.

However people who go to movies choose and minority movies are not the blockbusters that some would wish for.

Blue Bloods, one of the most ultra-politically correct shows on television.

OF COURSE it is. It's about a POLICE COMMISSIONER. What else could it be?
Not only that the Police Commissioner admits to being a PRACTICING CATHOLIC and his entire family gets together ever Sunday night for DINNER. AND, hold on to your hat: they say GRACE before eating! Wow.
I NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER thought I would hear the Catholic grace before the meal SAID on T.V.
Not only THAT the program ALWAYS features that meal sometime during the show!! Wow.

What will Hollyweird think of next??
We've had plenty of other faiths showcased but NEVER, EVER the Roman Catholic faith!!!

God isn't mocked. Faith isn't ridiculed. The Sign of the Cross is executed correctly, with no snide comments.

Amazing. Truly amazing.

How often have you watched it, because they, including that Police Commissioner, bash Catholicism and outright lie about it. They do, unusually show, Grace and confession, but they do, in fact, ridicule faith.

Including the one they implied Catholics were evil and violent, and Muslims were peaceful and loving.

How, in your opinion, do they do that?

I watch it every day.

You seem DELUSIONAL, as best. But, that's okay. The show wouldn't still be on the air if it weren't liked.
So your minority opinion is noted...ole sour grapes!

Whoa, Nellie! You are going WAY off the deep end.

1. Take a deep breath.
2. Take as many Valium as you need.
3. Then take a nap.
4. If you aren't back to reality by then, say a rosary. Maybe our good Lord will have some mercy on you.

Your call sign SHOULD read Nick CarriedAwaaaaay.
Your theme song: "Fly Me to the Moon."

God bless you.

and

Pax tibi.

-There was an episode about a widowed father and his college-aged daughter was murdered. They investigate an the daughter converted to Islam. It turns out her father murdered her and her Muslim boyfriend is the hero. Go back and look at how that made Catholics look.

-The Tom Selleck character publicly criticizes the Catholic Church saying that it “condemns homosexuals.” That is completely false. Don’t they have fact checkers?

-Tom Selleck character gets mad at a priest and goes off on how he won’t violate the seal of the confessional. (By the way, the show already shows that he did violate it by going to the PC in the first place)

-They make the Archibishop (Brian Dennehy) look like a phony political operator in at least two episodes.

-The one with the lesbian nun, who has a talk with the PC and his father dismissing Church beliefs/

There are other, but those are the ones that spring to mind. Haven’t you seen these episodes?
