I've mentioned it at my blog several times...<br /><br />Muchless coming from a Catholic Bishop, who of all people shouldn't be prescribing to this. <br /><br />But you know, didn't the Incarnation occur in Bethlehem, not Kenya ;)Joe of St. Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506671882770822003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-84654509916814065592009-10-09T01:42:01.341+01:002009-10-09T01:42:01.341+01:00The Holy Father himself praised Obama, and America...The Holy Father himself praised Obama, and American democracy, to the skies when he welcomed the new US envoy to the Vatican, a fellow named Diaz, who was an Obama contributor and big supporter--and a Catholic theologian: of the new sort. Which appears to be post-Christian, as they call it. But it is really post-Vatican II, and I wish you would join me in prayer that the talks between SSPX and the Vatican are productive in ridding the Church of the false doctrine that is supporting these "idiots." The fault lies not in who vetted their appointments but in a false spirit. I have a new post that makes an attempt to help newbies think about it a broader way, "Does Benedict Know that Rome is Burning?"Jan Bakerhttp://thewhitelilyblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-42886657379653671172009-10-08T10:48:16.056+01:002009-10-08T10:48:16.056+01:00So right, GSal.

It kind of reminds me what Bill Cosby says re: God's "design" in *everything* - something along the lines of George, Bob, and Bill are all at the Craps table in Vegas, Bill's trying to make a six point, Bob wants him to crap out etc. God just says "Bust everybody!"<br /><br />What about "the other guy" who also prayed to win? Asking God to help you do your best is one ting, but you better have eaten your Wheaties too.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-86454829933217738982009-10-08T05:20:45.629+01:002009-10-08T05:20:45.629+01:00I so agree with the widespread lack of backbone--i...I so agree with the widespread lack of backbone--in the secular world and in the religious world. By saying Obama's rise to power is part of God's plan certainly does cheapen it. I am fairly sure that God has more on his plate than Obama and his cronies! It reminds me of when an athlete says they prayed for victory and then won...oh please! You can pray for wisdom and guidance in achieving something...but I don't think God favored Rio over Chicago in awarding the Olympics.GSalnoreply@blogger.com
