The word of God says: "No weapon formed against me shall prosper." Really, no matter what the Obama admin. is trying to do, do not give up or even be shaken, for the Lord has to prevail over all HIs foes. We are behind you and praying for you.

People please be informed and read books such as Vatican Exposed by P Williams, take your blinders off. Why doesn't the church concentrate on helping those children that are brought into this world? Maybe if they did there would be no abortions! Instead of spending so much money on the pope's trips helping the people in the countries he visi - mercy Thu, 14 May 2009 14:55:56 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1715 First of all, it’s University of Notre Dame and not Notre Dame University. Raymond Burke speaks for a small group of catholics and certainly not all. His opinions and interpretation of Catholicism as it relates to politics is interesting but misguided and not productive. I appreciate people who are candid and direct. And I also have the greatest respect for the men who dedicate their lives to serving others in the form of priesthood, particularly those who lead the catholic church and our direction as Catholics. After reading about several issues, I decided to share some thoughts with the spirit of open dialogue. As an Archbishop who shares enthusiam for Pro-Life platforms, I hope his office also is opposed to Catholics who support our military intervention in Iraq where more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed and more than 1,000,000 have been driven out of their homes. I also hope his office supports young high school girls who give birth to children instead of shaming them like many fellow catholics. I also hope his office supports political candidates who give our impoverished a blanket of hope and programs to build lives instead of candidates who cut programs and transfer wealth from the low and middle income families to the very wealthy in the United States. I am a practicing Catholic with two retired uncles (deceased) who collectively celebrated 98 years of service to the Milwaukee Archdiocese. Additionally, I am proud to be Catholic and proud to support candidates who dedicate themselves into lifting the hopes of the marginalized and the disenfranchised. I am also proud of candidates who work to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and work to reduce the number of abortions. It is one thing for a candidate to say he/she is Pro Life. It is altogether a different, to be a candidate whose actions are consistently Pro Life.

King Herod, Hitler, Saddam, Pol Pot, Kim jung Ill etc, have ruled murderously by the satanic policy of eliminating the opposition to evil via the sword. I suggest that President Obama is in the satanic grips that promote the murder of the innocent (unborn) while offering earthly gains to those who promote him. The Notre Dame President is a Benidict Arnold. Jesus help us.

Abortion is not only sinful, IT IS A CRIME!!! IT IS MURDER!!! And sexual relations with another of your own gender IS SIN!! Too many people do not read the Bible. - Barbara Dunnermann Sun, 26 Apr 2009 15:49:28 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1360 Thank God for people like you Austin, people with clear mind,expression and easy pen. May God bless you. In this year of St. Paul, like the saint, go on telling the whole truth even to Obama. I will pray for you.

Sebelious, is not a true practicing Catholic. It would appear that she abandoned her Catholicism some time ago, having adopted a more liberal philosophy and only dragging out her 'Catholicism' to try to get conservatives to back her! - Barbara Dunnermann Thu, 02 Apr 2009 07:33:43 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1329 It is obvious that KS Gov. Sebelius is NOT a true Catholic. And so her excommunication by her bishop & backed by Archbishop Raymond Burke, Apostolic Signatura in Rome, is totally justified. No true Catholic who knows the Bible, could condone abortion when the Bible (see Isah.) clearly says 'since you formed me in my mother's womb, you have known me.' Thus, since the MOMENT of CONCEPTION 'you have known me.' Sebelius? NOT qualified! - Barbara Dunnermann Thu, 02 Apr 2009 07:33:17 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1328 The Roosevelt Administration pressured the Vatican to silence Fr. Coughlin. Archbishop Burke stands on solid theological ground. Pressure from the Administration is outrageous, but not surprising. We in St. Louis were very fortunate to have his leadership, although for too short of a time. Maintain the Faith! - Jim Wed, 01 Apr 2009 22:17:30 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1291 A house divided cannot stand. If the Catholics cannot respect those that adhere to the Bible and God's teachings then how will the Catholic church make it in this century? It will because God is in control and no one else. God uses all of us to accomplish HIS will even if it looks bleak. If president Obama chooses to continue to harden his heart (like Pharo did in Moses time,) for God's precious little ones, Obama will have to stand before God - thou shall not kill. Pray for Pres. Obama. - Carol Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:54:50 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1269 Praise God for Archbishop Burke! I pray that more bishops & priests have the guts to speak out for the Church. We are headed into some tough times. Christians everywhere must stand up and be counted to come against the evil raging in our country and the world. - Judy Sun, 29 Mar 2009 18:09:34 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1268 I can see it now... You are trying to blame Obama for what Abp. Burke said. It was the Vatican that made Burke apologize NOT Obama. The Holy Father wants to work with Obama to change his ideas on abortion, NOT condemn him. Burke needs to work WITHIN if he doesn\'t like Wuerl, but Wuerl is NOT a liberal bishop, but Burke is a Reactionary one... - Seamus Sun, 29 Mar 2009 18:09:22 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1262 Should Mr. Obama hold truths concerning life and life issues which the Church or its representatives do not, let his appearance at Notre Dame debate those same issues. Upon WINNING the debate, let ND bestow the honor for which Mr. Obama has been called. If not, he should decline the invitation and join Fr. Jenkins in a public apology. - Margaret Boker Sun, 29 Mar 2009 13:22:58 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1260 God Bless Archbishop Burke. - Fran Drisaldi Sun, 29 Mar 2009 13:21:28 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1259 Today we must stand up for our religion and speak out, before these basic rights are taken away from us. Catholics who are purposely going against their faith for the furthering of their careers will one day have to pay the ultimate price of God's wrath! - Kathy A.

I, too share the Archbishop's shame in having a "catholic" in name only- Sebelius-- a "Judas" amongst the The Roman Catholic Church-- however, does not surprise me but she brings great dishonor and injustice to OUR LORD. - Gloria Ramirez Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:15:34 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1248 To Bill Kurtz: Nice ad hominum attack on Archbishop Burke, a man of great integrity. Typically, it added nothing of value to this thread. You must have mistaken this site for the Huffington Post... - John Campbell Sat, 28 Mar 2009 08:43:16 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1247 Molly F, I don't know if FXC is pro-abortion (although I wouldn't bet the farm that he isn't), but I do know he is deeply morally confused when he calls Bush a hypocrite for supporting the death penalty as if it were "murder" while governor of Texas in the 90s. The death penalty certainly has problems in terms of how it's implemented in the current system, but in NO way has it ever been condemned by the Magisterium as murder. Self-defense practiced by the State is not murder. - Kevin in Texas Sat, 28 Mar 2009 08:42:52 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1239 F.X.C., You must be pro-abortion. Listen to yourself, praising the bad guys, and putting down the good true Catholics. You admire Sibelius. Hahaha… that’s a good one, admire the hypocrites. You should be ashamed of yourself. Oh, and Bush was and is not for killing million of innocent babies, like Obama and Sebelius. Brainwashed. - Molly F Fri, 27 Mar 2009 21:53:09 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/hey-obama-hands-off-burke.html#comment-1238 Right on Archbishop Burke! - Molly F Fri, 27 Mar 2009 21:52:50 +0100
