PRESIDENT OBAMA'S UNSCRUPULOUS AND UNPRECEDENTED WAR ON THE MAGISTERIUM OF THE HOLY ROMAN CHURCH

President Obama dressed up as King Henry VIII, but at least King Henry VIII was Roman Catholic when he made himself the head of the Church of England, President Obama has made himself the head of the Catholic Church in America and he's not even Catholic!

President Obama stealing from President Chavez playbook on how to wage war against Catholic Bishops:

My comment first: I know for a fact that many Catholics don't mind that the government is making birth control free in upcoming health insurance programs. I am sure in terms of authority, many Catholic families are at odds with one another in their small family unit on a whole variety of issues. But I sincerely believe that most Catholic families would resent an outsider coming into their family and trying to use issues in the family to pit family members against one another for that outsider's personal gain. This is what the outsider, President Barack Obama is doing to the Catholic family. The only word I can use to describe his tactics is "demonic."

Cardinal Dolan recently blogged: "And a recent meeting between staff of the bishops’ conference and the White House staff ended with the President’s people informing us that the broader concerns of religious freedom — that is, revisiting the straight-jacketing mandates, or broadening the maligned exemption—are all off the table. Instead, they advised the bishops’ conference that we should listen to the “enlightened” voices of accommodation, such as the recent hardly-surprising but terribly unfortunate editorial in America. The White House seems to think we bishops are hopelessly out of touch with our people, and with those whom the White House now has nominated as official Catholic teachers."

My editorial: Not only as a Catholic but more importantly as an American, I am outraged at what President Obama is doing in terms of dividing and conquering the bishops of the Catholic Church by dividing them away from the People God has called the bishops to "teach, rule and sanctify." What President Obama is doing is clearly un-American! I believe it is an impeachable offense!

My on-going comments: President George W. Bush always made it clear that the United States war on terrorism was not a war on Islam but radicals promoting terrorism within their religion, radicals who had corrupted or co-opted the religion of Islam. I don't believe President Bush ever enlisted Muslims into his administration who were opposed to their Muslim Faith and against the leadership of Islam in order to control the authentic teachers of Islam. If anyone has evidence to the contrary, please let me know.

What President Barack Obama has done and is doing to the Catholic Church and her bishops is quite intentional and quite unprecedented and many so-called Catholics don't seem to blink an eye anymore at what he is doing.

Cardinal Dolan sums it up in the paragraph above: "The White House seems to think we bishops are hopelessly out of touch with our people, and with those whom the White House now has nominated as official Catholic teachers."

There has been a concerted effort by Democrats in the Congress and in the President's administration to undermine the authority of the bishops by calling upon dissident Catholics to do their bidding. The Jesuit publication America Magazine is one vehicle, the other is the National Catholic Reporter. The President by aligning himself with mushy, sympathtic Catholics, such as Sister Carol Keehan,(two clueless Catholics as to what President Obama is doing in using them to divide the bishops from women)

Father John Jenkins, the Catholic Health Association and Notre Dame University is intentionally using his brilliant political savvy to divide and conquer the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, the pope and bishops in union with the Pope.

But more importantly, the President has chosen people such as Vice President Joseph Bidon and Secretary of Health and Human Services Katherine Sebelious

to be the actual representatives of Catholics, both clergy and laity, who oppose Humanae Vitae and oppose the Magisterium of the Church--these are dissenters in other words.

We also see this administration trying to drive a wedge between rank and file Catholics and the official teachers and leaders of the Catholic Church in this country, the bishops.

We've also seen with this President's administration and with Democrats in Congress a blatant disregard for the unity of the Catholic Church by driving a wedge between Catholic women and the Magisterium of the Church and all of this for political gain. Former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi,

a case in point.

President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has been at war with the bishops of his country. Have President Obama and President Chavez been commiserating about the effectiveness of doing so?

Mr. President, the buck stops with you! Are you at war with the Holy Roman Catholic Church?

Holy Father, bring back the tiara!
