I cut the title a bit.  No, he's not a Father Pflager (sp?) wannabe.  Exactly the opposite.

Priest warns Obama: Better knock the Catholic Church out now - you’ve awakened the giant

This priest makes me proud to be a Catholic. O-)

I hope the catholics stay mad at him, as they will help determine if he stays President or not.

As one who was raised Catholic, I cannot in good conscience vote for any Dem today. The run on this "pro-choice" platform, which is no choice at all. And to now be trying to force the Church to pay for birth control, which goes against church doctrine, is just ridiculous. I hope others will remember come November.

It's about time the Catholic clergy started to get a clue about which side stands for values and order, and which side stands for hedonism and chaos.

WOW!

That was powerfull hardcore stuff.

Listening to that video roughed me up pretty good.

This is good, I hope that the word gets out far and wide.

The Priest and I have something in common.

I'm glad and thank my parents that they didn't choose to abort me.


On edit: I failed to mention that I took the OP in the wrong way, I'm glad that I watched the video before I opened my piehole.

I just hope the USCCB doesn't get all wobbly-kneed. They have a history of sending mixed messages and giving left-wing loonies just enough cover. Political geniuses, they ain't.

Not with Timothy Cardinal Dolan at the helm.  The USCCB knows that Dolan could, conceivably, be the successor to Benedict XVI.  I really don't think they'd turn on him.

(Will Cardinal Dolan be the next Pope?  Probably not, IMO.)

Obama thinks the Pope-mobile is a cool ride....he wants to pip it out for himself.

Excellent!  Hope to see more leaders of all Christian denominations take a stand like this.

Great video.  I hope that Father Hollowell's superiors will back him on this.  It would be terrible if he ended up out on a limb all by himself.

In high school, the Catholics I had the most exposure to, emphasized the "via media". I never did get that, it's like not wanting to take a stand.

The Pope got excoriated for the same thinking, and policy during the holocaust. I remember my childhood and later years being taught about all the martyrs. I really admired that even under the most harsh circumstances, they would not denounce their God. I also remember thinking "I would hate to have to die the way these martyrs did".

I mean, let's face it, the bible is unapologetically socially conservative. I would argue it is quite fiscally conservative, but I think that possibly honest debate could be made on that aspect. If you look at the central character of the bible, He never tried to sit on any fences. He was about as in your face as anyone could get, and didn't back down. He probably tried to be as gentle and persuasive as he could, but in the end He didn't compromise his principles or his message.

The church needs to more closely align with this example if anyone were to ask me, which they haven't. But thanks for listening anyway.

The democrats are threatened by people of faith. Its a socialist thing. They worship govt and we compete with them.

They are coming for all of us and this is a test case. The catholics are the biggest and most visible...they will be the first targeted by the socialists. If the catholics go down, then its only a matter of time before they come after the rest.

One of the forum members has a sig line almost identical to that sentiment.

I believe that it was the lagomorph who is also an NCO.

So funny as most all the illegal aliens headed our way are Catholic, and there is a reason they have been called Hot Blooded Latinos for years.   Not all will be but Catholic in name only, yet to attack the church is to attack them and their heritage.

From what I have seen in history of faith, the Protestants forgive those that burn their Churches and defile Holy ground.   The Catholics however grab their swords and march against those that make war on their Church.
