Archbishop Slams Obama Appearance at Notre Dame, Administration’s Abortion Policies
Fox News
Friday, May 8, 2009
One of the Vatican’s highest ranked clerics and a frequent critic of President Obama said Friday that Notre Dame is causing a “scandal” by giving the president an honorary degree and a platform to address graduates at its commencement next weekend.
‘The proposed granting of an honorary doctorate at Notre Dame University to our president, who is so aggressively advancing an anti-life and anti-family agenda, is rightly the source of the greatest scandal,” said Archbishop Raymond Burke, who is the prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, the Vatican’s highest court.
Burke, the former archbishop of St. Louis and vocal opponent of giving communion to politicians who support abortion rights, told Catholics at a national prayer breakfast in Washington, D.C., that “with unparalleled arrogance, our nation is choosing to renounce its foundation on the faithful.”

He pointed to several Obama administration decisions that he said have damaged “the fundamental society that is the family,” citing the repeal of the conscience clause, which prohibits health care workers from refusing to participate in abortion-related services; repeal of the Mexico City policy, which allows federal funding to be used abroad to provide abortions; presidential support of the Freedom of Choice Act, which prevents government from in any way denying or interfering with a woman’s right to choose; and support of the U.S. Population Fund, which he noted supports China’s one-child policy.
He blamed loose morals for legislation that would allow same-sex marriages and repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, which states have implemented to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
“At the root of the confusion and error about marriage is the contraceptive mentality which would have us believe that the inherently procreative nature of the conjugal union can in practice be mechanically or chemically eliminated while the marital act remains unitive. It simply cannot be sold,” Burke said.

Good for the Archbishop!

It’s good to see some people sticking to their guns. I went to Marquette (another catholic university) and it seems as though that these “catholic” colleges have been overrun with population control, politically correct globalists who don’t stand up for true catholicism.

Bad choice to have picked our current President to speak. Shame on those who call themselves Catholics. However, if you insist on having him speak then disconnect his teleprompter.

It’s sad to see that even catholics don’t seem to agree on some moral issues. This is a time when all catholics and christians of faith should stand together.

Catholicism is just a tool used to control the minds and emotions of people. I told my archbishop i didn’t agree with abortion but felt that war should be a BIGGER TOPIC to the people because it promotes killing and human right abuses. He told me that I am not a true christian and that I think too independently.
I guess babies don’t make good fertilizer and foreigners do.

Emperor Nero, can you only concentrate on one topic at a time? They are both wrong, yet you can only seem to concentrate on one evil at a time. That’s pretty weird.

First of all no one gets their morals from religion. second, a man that believes absurdities, can easily commit atrocities.

Who cares what a Catholic Archbishop has to say, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HARDLY HAS A POSITION OF MORAL AUTHORITY, FROM WHICH TO SPEAK.
And who cares what Obama has to say either, for that matter.
They are all bullshitters.

You are making a statement on morals. On what basis do you make your statement? What authority do you have?

It’s funny how in the act of telling someone that they shouldn’t believe the way they do or say the things that they say because of lack of a proper standing in the echelons of society is hypocrisy. I am so tired of people arguing over semantics. We must seek to understand rather than to be understood. We must, as a society of people that are slowly being left with nothing but our word, be willing to listen to people that obviously feel the same way fundamentally or you would not be passing judgment in the same forum. A forum designed to help people make sense of the web of lies we call America, to establish a repor with those who wish to be exposed to the truth, as best as we can see it. The Luciferian Order of the Illuminati wants to keep us all in a distracted, naive bubble. They do not want a society that is coherent and capable of critical thinking. Do me a favor, next time you talk to someone that inherently, is just seeking the truth, listen to them, no matter how childish or ridiculous it may sound, because when one truly seeks the truth their heart is at its purest state. What Are YOU looking for?

He has obviously excluded all the innocents who have died in Iraq/Afghanistan from his assessment, during American/British ‘IMPERIALIST’ INVASIONS.

To the Agnostic: The Agnostic says that he knows for sure that nobody knows for sure that there is a God. So he negates his own argument – only a fool says there is no God.
On the Catholic Church: Since the time of Christ the weeds have been growing with the grain -so to speak – Judas was the first traitor and there have been many since. What the Catholic Church teaches has always been consistant, faithful and moral. If a Catholic chooses to act against his faith or what it teaches, no matter his rank or position in the Church, that is his choice – all of us have a soul which is intellect and will, all of us are given the grace to choose good over evil, whatever the choice the time for forgiveness and repentance is now, the time for justice and judgement is when you die, right on the spot.
Some mystics who have been shown hell have remarked that the sight alone is so horrible and so beyond human description that they had to have a supernatural help just to survive the vision. Make your choice – if your wrong are you prepared to pay the piper.

“Who cares what a Catholic Archbishop has to say, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HARDLY HAS A POSITION OF MORAL AUTHORITY, FROM WHICH TO SPEAK.”
The attack upon the Church by the Devil has been succesfull, at least in this persons case.
The ultimate moral authority is LOVE.
‘God is LOVE’ – Lord Jesus Christ
LOVE is the LAW.
“The Catholic church is a money laundering, murderous pedophilic satan worshipping organization and you devoted sheople “Cathlolics” have beed deceived.”
The Catholic church is governed not from the Top down, but from the bottom up.
The ’sheople’ have not been deceived, they are the body of Christ.
Does the arm say to the leg, I am not a leg, therefore I have been deceived?’
Nope. The body of Christ will endure until the time of the Victory of Christ
over the world.
Be forewarned.
