Wow -- What a Rant by "Rage Boy" Chris Hitch Today
I am perfectly content, really quite happy, about Obama's decision to have this mega-Church author, pastor, and cultural figure, Rick Warren, give the prayer at the January 20th Inauguration of our new United States President. I understand the apoplexy of ''Rage Boy'' Christopher Hitchens at the very thought of a prayer being said, let alone a ...

Re: The GOP clashes with catholic views
The more I hear from Obama the more I know I could note vote for him. The next president needs to appoint jusdges that do not legislate from the bench that is why we still have thoses terrable aqbortions. Yes, I am a Roman Catholic but the very thought of abortion gives me the chills, not because I am Catholic but because those little babies ...

The Unnatural candidate for anyone with Christian morals
I am sorry if my remarks may seem too harsh to some but the truth will set you free! As a Christian (Catholic) I can not vote for a candidate that has no problem denying medical care to victims of botched abortions, to be specific he vote in the Illinois legislature to deny medical aid to an infant that had survived an abortion attempt...so ...

Re: Excellent reply Fritz?
You sound like a pharisee to me....thank you Lord I am not like the tax collector.... God is in charge people so stop being judgemental. WE all struggle with this issue. I was born in Italy as a catholic, now I am a protestant...the church has made many errors in the past, is not infallible and no where in the bible says it should even exist as ...

NARAL endorses Obama
Prof. Kmiec, Do you REALLY think Obama is going to do anything on the abortion front? He has NARAL on board now. And why would he do anything to appease Catholics. Faithful Catholics wouldn't vote for him in the first place. The Church teaches that abortion must always be opposed. It doesn't carry the same moral weight as other issues. ...

Prof. Kmiec, How Disappointing!!!
You're the cow that gives the milk and then kicks the bucket over! What ever possessed you to seduce Catholics into voting for a radical pro-abortion candidate? Obama led the fight to deny health care to babies born alive who survived a botched abortion, while in the Illinois senate. The man is depraved! You used to defend the innocent and ...

Popery
One of my 1st memories, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, was a parish priest preaching a sermon on the Vatican's treaty with Italy's Fasciasts & how it helped the RC' minister to a war torn world. The church was in the Arcdioces of Cincinasty. The Archbishop was an avid analiguist for & to Pius 12. He even named a high school for ...

Re: Feminism ended Marriage/Family
I came to this very interesting post thread a few days late, by way of Blue Skies by way of another Responder to both Blue Skies and MichaelBernard1 on the Iraq War exegesis as to ''how we got here.'' While I sympathize with this female academician and her illustrations greatly, based on her point of view, I have to either disagree or comment ...

Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Western Civilization
Whenever I read Christopher Hitchens, I learn a few lessons. In this case, Hitch upheld The Netherlands/Dutch as historically heroic for, among other things, offering refuge to Spinoza's family. Who knew? Unfortunately, when reading Hitchens, I always come across masterfully artful examples of his selective Polemics - (argumentative techniques.) ...
