The following comes from a Sept. 14 story on LifeSiteNews.
A pro-abortion nun, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, and at least two openly gay Catholic activists will be among the thousands greeting Pope Francis at the White House next week, thanks to decisions by the Obama administration.
LifeSiteNews has confirmed that Mateo Williamson, a biological woman who identifies as a man, and former co-chairman of the Transgender Caucus for Dignity USA, received an invitation to the White House when Pope Francis visits next week. Williamson declined to speak with LifeSiteNews about the invitation, instead recommending invitation organizer Vivian Taylor to LifeSiteNews.
Taylor is the executive director of the national LGBT advocacy arm of the Episcopal church, and a biological male.
CruxNow reports that retired Episcopal bishop Gene Robinson, currently a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, will also attend. Robinson “divorced” his gay partner last year, and previously separated from his wife of 14 years. He has attended a number of religious events with the Obama administration, providing a prayer at President Obama’s inauguration in 2009 and taking part in the 2014 National Prayer Breakfast.
Dissident Catholic nun Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of the social justice group NETWORK and pro-abortion leader of “Nuns on the Bus,” will also attend. Campbell is widely credited with undermining the abortion concerns of the U.S. bishops when the Affordable Care Act was being debated five-and-a-half years ago.
An investigation of Campbell’s organization that was started by Pope Benedict XVI ended earlier this year, with few repercussions for the organization.
Perhaps most famously, gay Catholic blogger Aaron Ledesma — who claims that Pope Francis drew him back to the Church earlier this year — will be in the large crowd on White House grounds. Ledesma, 23, writes a blog called “The Gay Catholic.”
Obama and the immoral people are working hard to USE the Pope (through photo ops, etc ) for their own political purposes. The secular news media will be there for the “spin”.
– – – – – Pope Francis,
… Our Country needs a good STRONG LESSON on MORALS – adultery, fornication, homosexual acts, contraception, etc.
And in Freedom of Religion, and paying our National, State, and local debts. (CCC 2411). Help Save Souls.
How did we get from Reagan, Thatcher and John Paul II to Castro, Obama and Francis? Don’t be surprised if they present him with rainbow crucifix and he takes it back with him to Santa Marta.
What exactly is your problem with Pope Francis? He is a good leader/pastor, he is faithful to the teachings of the Church. Did you wake-up and realize that he’s human and capable of making mistakes? Outside of speaking with papal infallibility of course.
Pope Francis and President Obama are fellow travelers.
It’s exactly this type of cheap, “in your face” belligerence which is the reason why Obama lost his ability to effectively govern years ago. While the media continue to fawn over him, historians will not be treating him very well.
Don’t count on the historians to set the record straight. The majority of them are liberal academics. You can bet that he will be viewed in their as the God that he thinks he is.
Here’s an interesting article from January 2015.
53 Historians Weigh In on Barack Obama’s Legacy
https://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/01/53-historians-on-obamas-legacy.html
“The contributors tilted liberal — that’s academia, no surprise — but we made an effort to create at least a little balance with conservative historians. Their responses often echoed those from the far left: that a president elected on a promise to unite the country instead extended the power of his office in alarming, unprecedented ways. Here, we have published a small…
HighRidge,
I agree with you regarding the first few histories that’ll be written. But once we get 50 to 75 years out, history will not be kind to Mr. Obama.
Indeed, Steve…like bringing a “clock-maker” to Washington ( at our expense, along with billions spent on personal vacations et al. I doubt the obama even pays for his cigarettes) who was treated like any other student when bringing in what looked like a bomb to school. But that is what muslims do…they think their not just better than everyone else, but above the law. Having a muslim as president is like having a shark in ones swimming pool. For those who still buy the lie he’s a Christian, maybe you should go back to pre-school proration classes and find out what being Christian means…like never lying, for example.
Here is the perfect opportunity for another case of ‘Jail Time 4 Thought Crime’ (like Kim Davis, before finding a ‘reasonable accommodation’ that does not Require Personal Pandering) – when Practicing Catholics are Confronted with the types of self mutilating, hormone abusing male drag queens mentioned in the story.
If someone who understands the Science of Gender as well as God’s Creation of Humans in Complimentary Genders – Refuses to Publicly Address these Men using the Rong Pronoun (He / She, Him / Her…) OR simply refuses to in any way join the Misandrist Pogrom of Pretense….
Will they be Sent to Jail for Contempt (at least of the POTUS) for failure to publicly humiliate themselves by rejecting such blatant Orwellian…
Wait, who is being sent to jail?
Christians were arrested in Michigan for evangelizing. Nothing to do with gays.
If you are upset that these “sinners” were invited to see the pope, you should probably go back and read the story of Zacchaeus in the Gospel of Luke.
What this is really showing is Obama’s utter contempt for the Catholic Church its clergy and members and other Christians who don’t go along with his culture of death pursuits, you and me. Its like you invite some Orthodox Jews over for dinner but in your heart you hold them in utter contempt and serve them pork. Obama is a great deceiver
Obama’s agenda is to humiliate and degrade any sense of decency left in this society…and there is very little left. Every Catholic in this country should be insulted by his crass gestures. He is evil. This country may never overcome his obsessive hatred of the Catholic Church and anything even remotely moral.
He will be remembered as the President who vowed to kill his own grandchildren so as not to punish his daughters!
Maybe they will have a conversion???
Obama’s purpose is much more likely to be to try to convert the pope in some measure to his own moral depravity with this deliberate outrage. The Zacchaeus argument has nothing to do with the President’s intentions.
Dan,
The Wall Street Journal reported this morning that this may have more to do with photos ops of the Pope and gay activists that would suggest that the Pope supports abortion, gay marriage, etc., thus further confusing the message from the Vatican.
Dear Holy Father, Please bring lots and lots of Purell!
MAC is right.
This Country needs to hear from this Pope about – SEXUAL MORALS –
Fornication, Adultery, Homosexual Acts, Contraception;
and about the murder of innocent human beings through Abortion.
We don’t need to hear his personal opinions on climate change, ILLEGAL immigration, or redistribution of wealth (socialism).
With those who have been invited to greet Pope Francis, this is good. Its the perfect example of what’s become of this Godless country. It also will present what the leaders of the church have been doing for sometime, nothing.
Indeed, Steve…like bringing a “clock-maker” to Washington ( at our expense, along with billions spent on personal vacations et al. I doubt the obama even pays for his cigarettes) who was treated like any other student when bringing in what looked like a bomb to school. But that is what muslims do…they think their not just better than everyone else, but above the law. Having a muslim as president is like having a shark in ones swimming pool. For those who still buy the lie he’s a Christian, maybe you should go back to pre-school proration classes and find out what being Christian means…like that it is wrong to lie, for example
Not Clean:
“Tide Detergent Openly Mocks Christian View of Marriage in New Commercial!
https://eaglerising.com/23863/tide-detergent-openly-mocks-christian-view-of-marriage-in-new-commercial/
– what are Christians doing to go after the companies that receive money for their products to promote the very agenda that Christians claim to hate?
The latest to push the sodomite agenda and mock the Bible’s teaching on sodomy and marriage is Tide Laundry detergent…
“Money talks”? Let that speak volumes to P&G. Don’t buy their products. You are only funding your own destruction.
Do you think the Pope will tell them all to “Go and Sin no more” –
or wouldn’t that be ‘pastoral, merciful, or charitable’ enough ? ? ? ? ?
This Pope has yet to teach the Roman Catholic faith since he was elected, this man is destroying the Roman Catholic Church just as Obama has destroyed the United States of America. Yes I said it, because by God somebody has to say the truth about this Pope.
There is a Wall Street Journal article called “Vatican Taking Issue with White House Guest List” by Francis X. Rocca that I suggest you all read.
Obama invites transgender showboats, gay Episcopal bishop to pope’s White House visit – The Vatican is not pleased
https://canadafreepress.com/article-disqus/75424
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air asks: “When the Saudis visited the White House this month, did Obama invite women’s-rights activists to dinner with them? Did Obama invite Ayaan Hirsi Ali to discuss the need for reform in Islam?”
The answer: Of course not. Because Obama wouldn’t try to score cheap political points at the expense of his Islamic friends. Bring in the most high-profile Christian leader in the entire world, however, the Obama White House is going to go into overdrive on the grandstanding front.
Needless to say, the Vatican is extremely unhappy about this, and it…
How awful!
Jesus would NEVER hang with any but the most pure, the most righteous, the most perfect.
Well, except for that woman caught in adultery…and that tax collector…and that leper…and that centurion…and…but I digress.
In this case it is perverts that almost destroyed the Church from within, and very recently.
