The republican party has a well organized propaganda society whose sole goal is to win back the White House at all costs. I have been receiving emails from my fellow Brethrens since Obama was President elect which obviously were race related and hateful. First, their is no proof that the cover up of the IHS came from the President. There are people in charge of protocol in our government and this could have transpired without his knowledge as is the case in many incidents. If we are to be appalled, it should be that most Protestant Christians are opposed to our religious statues, calling them "IDOLS". If we are to be Catholics, lets practice our faith the way JESUS would want us to be. - Vincent Sicurella Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:09:38 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-2128 President Obama, White House, & Catholic Church, I want to say how you have made a mockery of Jesus Christ. When you don't have enough backbone & guts to stand up and say we will not cover up a symbol pertaining to Christ.You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I truly hope you repent and ask God for forgiveness. This is the worst kind of compromise. I have to question that you are even born again. So you need to ask Jesus to come into your heart & forgive you of your sins. - Janice Eble Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:23:17 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1711 who would allow any symbol or picture that represents or is god to be covered up.?this counrty was founded i(in God we trust) and the head figure that has be en put in office does not believe. shame on the church, shame on anyone who stood there and watched this disgusting display. It should have never been allowed. this is what is wrong with this country today. - christine Fri, 08 May 2009 20:04:57 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1544 When I first heard of this, I could not believe anyone that calls themself a Christian would ask such a thing? As a Christian, if someone came to my home, but asked that I put my Holy Bible and crosses away before they would enter, my response, ABSOLUTELY NOT! No one comes before my Lord! I am utterly disturbed that a so called Catholic school could do this! They have denied Christ as Judas did! And Notre Dame SHAME ON YOU!!! Are we now in the later days? READ: Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelations. - Carol Sun, 26 Apr 2009 15:49:00 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1533 Sorry AnPiobaire, but those religious identifying symbols, which would have been shown with Mr. Obama in the foreground, were covered - I didn't see him anywhere else on campus. And, I think he and his administration are the perpetrators of the witch hunt - think about it. - Liz Fri, 24 Apr 2009 06:53:16 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1526 First of all, it's Greek, not Latin. Secondly, there was no request that all religious symbols be removed and, indeed, they were not. The covering of the one IHS emblem (dozens more remained uncovered, along with the Jesuit motto and stained glass windows) was a decorative by product of the stage setting that was put in place for the event, nothing more, nothing less. No censorship and no apostacy. Stop the witch hunt. - AnPiobaire Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:52:27 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1514 As a former alumnus who graduated in that same hall, I'm disgusted that anyone would feel the need to cover up any part of "the lovliest academic hall in the city". That hall has been used many times by many different leaders, and this "request" (or more likely demand) is the first. The university has greatly gone downhill since i graduated almost 20 years ago, and I'm surprised the Jesuits bowed to the pressure, but not too surprised. - Elizabeth Johnston Tue, 21 Apr 2009 14:44:37 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1507 I am ashamed of OBOMA and our Leaders....to imbrace Abortion [the shedding of innocent Blood] ...GAY RIGHTS [KNOWING WHAT SCRIPTURE plainly says about it ]..And above all INSISTING ,HIDING and not ACKNOWLEGING "THE LORD JESUS CHRIST...And now to here the church bows to his request, makes me sick...as for me i really think he could be the ANTICHRIST...[ HE FITS THE DESCRIPTION SO FAR ...SMOOTH TALKER,..REFUSES TO PROCLAIM CHRIST ..ECT..ECT].....HE SPENDS MORE TIME HIDING AND REJECTING CHRIST... - DON Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:06:38 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1506 This whole debate, of course, is based on the assumption that Georgetown is Catholic. Is it? Really??? The Jevies are fine at Boston College, Marquette, Xavier, Saint Louis, John Carroll, Saint Joseph's, Creighton, etc. But Georgetown? Where less than 50% of the students are Catholic and twitting the Church is a cottage industry?

Shame on you Georgetown! You don't deserve the privilege of being called Catholic. - Marie P. Dennis Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:38:07 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1492 This famous school has disgraced itself by covering up its religoious symbols. As a Catholic I am greatly disappionted by the action of the school. If what we are and stand for offends others, let them make the decision not to be seen with us and make it public. - William A. Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:24:03 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1491 Pio - you need to be a bit more discerning - Just because someone "says" something doesn't necessarily make it so. Again, a Christian is a follower of Christ. Obama is no follower of Christ at face value. And Christ did get angry - remember the money changers in the temple? Jo: you are correct - The Episcopal Church has a dean at one of their divinity schools who does believe that abortion is a blessing. In fact, the Episcopal Church in general does condone abortion among other things - Liz Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:23:40 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1488 Only the Anti-Christ would want Christ covered. We have our Messiah/Savior which is Christ the Lord. Let's not forget that. This is truly a sad day when Christians bow down to this type of request just to be politically correct, I guess. A Christian is a follower of Christ and has to be "born again." - Karen Sun, 19 Apr 2009 14:44:15 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1487 Pio, You indicated that the president worshiped in an Episcopal church? Would this be the same denomination as the recently appointed president of Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Dr. Katherine "Abortion is a blessing" Ragsdale? He can call himself a Christian, God knows his heart. Given his support of abortion as an apparent sacrament in whatever church his attends, Obama's faith appears to be far beyond "imperfect". How should we respond? Pray God performs a mighty work! - Jo Sun, 19 Apr 2009 08:05:57 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1486 I don't think it is the business of Catholics to be "carding" other people for their baptismal ID. He describes himself as a Christian, so I will take that at face value. As I've said he is SERIOUSLY WRONG about abortion. The question is: how should we respond? Our Lord didn't hurl invectives and judge those who sincerely sought him. We should follow his example: acknowledge Obama's faith (though imperfect) while bearing witness to the complete truth about life's sanctity with humility/love - Pio Sat, 18 Apr 2009 21:43:09 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1485 Pio, I'm no authority on Barack Obama, but I think there is some doubt over whether he has actually ever been baptised. As far as I know, no baptismal certificate with his name on it exists. IF that is the case, he is no Christian. - James Sat, 18 Apr 2009 20:19:43 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1484 It is good to see this article, speaking for the Church. GOD should always be first, and the universities that are permitting Obama and other politicans to take Christ from a CATHOLIC university should not be permitted. - Daniel McEleney Sat, 18 Apr 2009 20:19:16 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1483 Pio: A Christian is a follower of Christ. Does Obama follow Christ? - Liz Sat, 18 Apr 2009 15:43:27 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1481 Many of us already knew that Georgetown U. and Notre Dame were no longer Catholic Universities before these scandals even broke. So in a way I think their actions have been a good thing to open the eyes of practicing Catholics, so hopefully they no longer support these institutions or send their children there. They have exposed themselves to the masses as the frauds we already knew they were. - manic mechanic Sat, 18 Apr 2009 12:38:29 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/two-commentaries-on-obama-at-georgetown-without-christ.html#comment-1480 Covering up the symbol of Our Lord at the request of a Protestant, pro-abortion president is an insult and a disgrace. Georgetown should no longer be known as a Catholic University - Jim Sat, 18 Apr 2009 12:35:51 +0100
