I agree with all comments about catholicism. May I add my own, why dou you think the pope flies around the world in an Alitalia 747?Answer, so he can carry back a bellyful of young boys.

Chris S, I’m just wondering if you are able to make even one post without tossing out “cutsie” names and degrading individuals?

Ken: I love that thought. Pete: That’s what Obama’s trying to reach out too. He’s trying to tap into the “brother’s keeper” school of thought, the Christians who care about the environment, justice ministries and the like, he’s trying to split the religious vote because they are the GOPs strongest faction. Split them between those who say they fallow their God’s word and those that actually do. That also why he won’t openly support marriage equality. He doesn’t want to galvanize that machine.

What ever happened to the Religious Left in this country? Remember the folks who were at the forefront of every civil rights march back in the 60’s? Remember the Jehovah’s Witnesses who went to prison during WWII for their pacifism? The Catholic Workers Movement in the 30’s? The far left Socialism of most Protestants in the 1880’s as typified by Edward Bellamy’s “Looking Backward”? The Group Marriages of John Humphrey Noyes at the Oneida commune. The religiously inspired communes of the 1840’s? In America. Where did that go?

Donohoe himself should be banned, because he represents the Vatican, which according to the Department of State is a foreign country. I’ve even seen their embassy on Massachusetts Avenue in DC. It’s the one with the protester–his sign is about molestation. Foreign agents must be registered and must disclose their status. (I was once a registered foreign agent, I know what I’m talking about.)

I am offended that an unregistered agent of a foreign country would seek to influence our internal affairs to conform with the policies of a foreign government. He must be banned. I’m not so sure I’m saying this tongue in cheek, either.

I understand the Vatican is the purveyor of a religion, but that’s not relevant.

As a former Catholic… The Catholic church in general (and Donohue in specific) can blow me (but they won’t cause I’m legal now). (Sidenote: can I have the Billie Holiday collection?)

I’m offended the Catholic Church condones their clergy molesting parishioners. Then tries to deny or cover it up when the acts are made public. It’s strange the Church has money to fight perceived evils, but claims they have no money to pay victims of clergy abuse.

Offending Catholics should garner extra credentials at the convention.
