Obama being attacked by Gingrich about speaking at Notre Dame and Catholic Bishop will not attend

[Peacetrain]

if Obama speaks at Notre Dame.

Well excuse me, when Bush went to Bob Jones University to speak, the same Bob Jones University that teaches that the Catholic Church is the great Harlot.. did you say anything? would you have refused to attend

McCain, Hagee.. remember that one you sanctimonious posers..

Or when Hastert refused to have the Catholic priest as the the first house chaplain?

President Obama is the president of the United States, and has never dismissed the church as the Mother of Harlots, but because he is a Democrat, you want him banned from speaking at the college.

What hypocrites

By the way Gingrich..multiple marriages is against the church. How much did you have to pay to get the pass on that one..

1. see, it's hard to keep track of their morals and beliefs since they change so much.

it's hard because they don't HAVE any actual morals or ideals or beliefs. they go with the wind.

2. Video of David Shuster calling out Gingrich in his "Hypocrisy Watch":

9. Shuster has neverending fodder for

his "Hypocricy Watch"..what a convenient format:bounce:

This is something that has to be seen to be believed..newt getting called out on corporatemedia! Yay Shuster!

Thank you so much, jenmito..looks like newt has opened himself up a big ol' can of self-induced Whupass.

13. He sure does...

I LOVE that segment. Shuster is so much better than Gregory was. I loved when he had nightly reports on the Libby/CIA leak case.

No problem!

3. About Newt's previous marriages

If I remember correctly, as long as his previous wives are still living he and his current wife are guilty of adultery in the eyes of the church.

Now, if he were able to get those marriages annulled, then he would be off the hook. But I don't think he meets the requirements for the church to grant him an annulment.

This of course is coming from a former Catholic(me), who's aunt sought and received an annulment from her first husband.

4. Catholic bishops almost never attend graduations at colleges

I've been laughing at the news reports announcing that the Catholic bishop would refuse to attend because it is much more likely that he would not have been invited. My sister's children graduated from Loyola Marymount, a Jesuit university. The Jesuit provincial was there but none of the local hierarchy. The same thing is true of Gonzaga and Seattle University. The Jesuit Provincial is there but not the local archbishop. It is true that retired archbishop Hunthausen attended the Seattle U graduation the year he was given an honorary doctorate but I think that qualifies as a special circumstance.

5. gingrich still grandstanding over his own inflated

version of relevance and deciding whether he's going to run for pres of goperverts.

6. Mr. Morality and Virtue himself, Newt Gingrich.

Good grief, is he a loser, or what?

[Webster Green]

7. The Bishop will be busy diddling altar boys...

Why would anyone care what the newt thinks? :puke:

[ShortnFiery]

8. Because Newt recently converted to Catholicism and is having an Opus Dei.

:evilgrin:

[Webster Green]

10. Yeah, and watching 'The Passion of Christ' while jerking off..

Idiots! :crazy:

12. Crudely sad but

they do have a history to clean up before they continue to run other people's lives.

[Drunken Irishman]

11. Gingrich is a walking sin.

Obama at least can stay in a committed, loving relationship. He's not out there destroying the sanctity of marriage like Mr. Gingrich.

[Peacetrain]

15. so true

[Peregrine Took]

14. Oh spare me the *fervor* of these crazy new converts. They are trying to take

over the CC and turn it back to the days of the Inquisition.

I feel like the folks who live in one of those sleepy little towns when some freaky cult moves in and takes it over.
