Catholic Church Emerges as Leading Obstacle to Obama's Socialist Agenda: Anti-Catholic Policies Dominate Obama Masterplan
1/16/2010 10:46:00 AM -The Vortex at www.realcatholictv.com
CCI NOTES: Obama's plan to socialize America includes neutralizing the Catholic Church using the oldest play in the book: divide and conquer. By stacking his administration with so-called "pro-choice Catholics" and self-described "religious leaders" who are in lock step with his plan to eliminate religious opposition, Christians across the country, and in particular Catholics, are finally waking up to the fact that they have been duped into accepting failed and flawed socialist programs under the vague mantra of "change."

The Underlying Tragedy: How Decades of Flawed and Idealistic Anti-Poverty Programs Have Magnified Suffering in Poor Nations Like Haiti

-THE NEW YORK TIMES
On Oct. 17, 1989, a major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 struck the Bay Area in Northern California. Sixty-three people were killed. This week, a major earthquake, also measuring a magnitude of 7.0, struck near Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Red Cross estimates that between 45,000 and 50,000 people have died. This is not a natural disaster story. This is a poverty story. It's a story about poorly constructed buildings, bad infrastructure and terrible public services. On Thursday, President Obama told the people of Haiti: "You will not be forsaken; you will not be forgotten." If he is going to remain faithful to that vow then he is going to have to use this tragedy as an occasion to rethink our approach to global poverty. He's going to have to acknowledge a few difficult truths. The first of those truths is that we don't know how to use aid to reduce poverty.

ARROGANCE UPDATE: Sen. Candidate Coakley announces 'Catholics Need Not Apply' and pro-lifers "probably shouldn't work in the emergency room"

A new Suffolk University poll shows Republican Scott Brown pulling ahead in the MA Senate race against Democrat Martha Coakley 50% to 46%. Boston Herald reported the shocking irony were Brown to win: "But if Brown's momentum holds, he is poised to succeed the late Sen. Edward Kennedy - and to halt health-care reform, the issue the late senator dubbed 'the cause of my life'." From the Washington Post... "The new Suffolk numbers come just as the television airwaves have reached their saturation point - one Republican tells the Fix there is almost no tv time left to buy." What that likely means is... paid media for both sides will likely cancel itself out and the final few days will be a battle for so-called earned media - aka press coverage by the state's newspapers, television channels and radio stations.

In Spite of Obvious Connection to the International Homosexual Movement, Vatican Approves Rainbow as a New Color for Liturgical Vestments!
1/15/2010 9:41:00 AM

It took centuries for the Church to purify the symbol of the rose, but she did it perfectly. To the point that until a little before Vatican II, it was common for a religious woman, in the ceremony of taking her solemn vows, to wear a crown of roses, a symbol of her virginity. From being a symbol of the Roman orgy, the rose became the symbol of Catholic virginity. What an extraordinary victory of the Church! Buut now the opposite is taking place. Instead of avoiding a symbol that has become universally identified with the worse sin against nature, the Catholic Church jumps in and assumes that symbol as its own!
