CCI statement on the Obama appointment of anti-Catholic Harry Knox to the President's Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships
6/22/2009 8:00:00 PM -CCI
"Harry Knox is an anti-Catholic bigot. He has chosen to live a lifestyle described by the Church as "disordered" and by the Bible as an "abomination." Thus, Mr. Knox has taken it upon himself to lecture an organization that has brought the Good News of salvation to the world and saved civilization for over 2000 years and to criticize the Bible because he disagrees with the scriptures on homosexuality. He has publicly referred to Pope Benedict XVI, one of the most highly respected theologians and religious leaders in the world, as a "discredited leader" and the Knights of Columbus, one of the largest charitable organizations in the world, as a "discredited army of oppression." He has accused the Pope of "harming people in the name of Jesus" because of the Pope's comments suggesting that condoms increase the spread of AIDS."
