Quoted Text
President Obama will apparently test just how far Pope Francis’ notorious tolerance will go by inviting a rogue’s gallery of people opposed to Catholic teaching to greet the pontiff at the White House during his visit next week.


In a stunning show of political indecorum, Obama has invited a series of individuals who publicly flout Catholic teaching, including a pro-abortion religious sister, a transgender woman and the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, along with at least two Catholic gay activists.

The White House was illuminated in gay pride colors on June 26, 2015, after the Supreme Court legalized gay same-sex marriage.

One of the invitees, retired Episcopal bishop Gene Robinson, made history by becoming the first openly gay episcopal bishop in 2003 and subsequently the first to divorce his gay partner in 2014, after having previously separated from his wife of 14 years. He has attended a number of religious events with the Obama administration, offering a prayer at President Obama’s inauguration in 2009 and taking part in the 2014 National Prayer Breakfast.

Mateo Williamson, a cross-dressing woman and former co-chairman of the Transgender Caucus for Dignity USA, has also received an invitation to the White House for Pope Francis’ visit. Williamson says that though she now thinks of herself as a man, she continues to be attracted to males. “Today I identify as a gay man and before that was difficult to understand because I thought that in order to be transgender, in order to be a transgender male that I had to be attracted to females but I never have throughout my entire life.”

Quoted Text
I'm not a Catholic, but I've been following Pope Francis' visit closely, mostly because I really
admire anyone who passes up a lunch with Congressmen to dine with the homeless, who isn't afraid
to use the terms "climate change" and "immigration" in a speech to the White House, who is unafraid
to use gentle words of encouragement to get the American bishops to do the right thing, and who
genuinely seems to love people with his whole heart and soul.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

He has the same RIGHT to speak in a federal  building as any other head of state.  He is the head of his
country as well as being the head of his church.

So is Cissy now banning heads of state simply because of their religion?
Or because of their Job???

Don't be so afraid Cicero.  He is one of the few "friends of US Citizens" who are also a head of state.

then doesn't alqaida have a right to speak to congress? oh wait,,,,we're trying to peel them off their governments and yet pick
and choose who gets to speak at ours.....

is the Pope a 'job'? where does he get his authority from? voting? lobbyists?....come on, help me here...help me to understand
how a 'good religious' leader is defined differently from a 'bad religious' leader.....and why any government gets to choose?

P.S. I'm not an advocate of the pope/alqaida or whatever......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

The broad job description for the role of pope is the head of the Catholic Church and the Bishop of Rome. The pope is also the head of the sovereign city-state, Vatican City.Mar 13, 2013

pretty scary.....hhhhmmmm

are there any others that are his equal? God only chose him? why is the Pope a 'him'?

I'm surprised Box defends 'him'.......

so you DO like the idea of religion, no matter how insidious the ideologies get into your 'government religion'....priceless

Jesus did not involve himself with the government and advised His disciples to do the same.

Jesus and His teachings were about salvation and how to live a Godly life.

Jesus didn't seek an audience with the government (roman empire) to preach the word of God.

'render unto ceasar what is ceasar's and to God what is God's.'

Looks like the Pope should take a refresher course.
