Cardinal-Designate Timothy Dolan: “It’s Getting Harder And Harder” To Believe Obama Is Not Anti-Christian…
But . . . but . . . but . . . Obama’s a “devout” Christian!
(Fox News) — The top U.S. Catholic bishop vowed legislative and court challenges Tuesday to a compromise by President Barack Obama to his healthcare mandate that now exempts religiously affiliated institutions from paying directly for birth control for their workers, instead making insurance companies responsible.
Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, who heads the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in an interview with The Associated Press that he trusted Obama wasn’t anti-religious and intended to make good on his pledge to work with religious groups to fine-tune the mandate.
“I want to take him at his word,” Dolan said in Rome, where he will be made a cardinal Saturday. But he stressed: “I do have to say it’s getting harder and harder,” to believe Obama’s claim to prioritize religious freedom issues given the latest controversy.
“Does the federal government have the right to tell a religious individual or a religious entity how to define yourself?” Dolan asked. “This is what gives us greater chill.”
Initially, Dolan had termed Obama’s compromise as “a first step in the right direction” after hearing about it Friday morning. But later that day, Dolan’s USCCB issued a statement rejecting it, saying the arrangement was unacceptable and raised “serious moral concerns.”
Dolan, the archbishop of New York, said the main concern is that the so-called “choking mandates” remain. In addition many Catholic entities are self-insured. It remains unclear how they would get around the mandate to provide services that they consider morally illicit.
“Was what was intended to be a concession, and what gave us a glimmer of hope at the beginning … really just amount to a hill of beans? And it seems as if it does,” Dolan said.

Obama Is Not Anti-Christian… He’s just the fucking Anti-Christ!
Welcome to the club with the Jews.
Well I can can say without any reservation, F**k Obozo!
Vote the Bast**d out!
I hate this man more each day. I actually have Obama Depression, every time I see or hear this idiot I actually become depressed just thinking about having him in office for another term.
Thick as a brick?
Why does it take so long for someone who supposedly has devoted his entire life to truth and fighting evil to figure out the real Obama and the evil behind him?
Rudy, I have anxiety that really never goes away. He must be defeated. The way he lights up about all things islam reminds me of the way he lights up around guys he appears to be attracted to.
There is no way that church he went to was in any way Christian. As a mater of fact, Rev Wright was nation of islam before he became faux Christian.
THAT’S a bunch of BS! Spare us cardinal…..you’re having a HARD time deciding this? LIAR! Who ya gonna call? (spoken as if the ghostbusters) How about GOD and the freakin vows you took liar! I once was a Catholic, but now I’ve changed……wonder why? NOT!
he’s anti-AMERICAN and anti -CHRISTIAN , he’s a muzzy and even the muzzies don’t want him
@Teacake,
Black Liberation theology is a socialist, reparations, slap whitey around and crush Amerikkka “church.”
Not Christian at all.
Dude, Gala Dinner Celebrations for Muslim Holidays and for Christmas..barely a word and he cannot wait to skip town to party in Hawaii. And that isn’t even addressing the mockery he did of Hanukkah. HE’S NOT NOR HAS EVER BEEN A CHRISTIAN!!! He views religion the same way every other liberal democrat does and that is to just do it so that it appeases their base and or constituents and even then they grumble about it…until election time. You can set your watch by when he’ll darken the threshold of a church and that is either
A.He’s about to side with Muslims
B.Has sided with Muslims within the past week.
He was raised a Muslim and in his heart that is the doctrine that he follows (there are about 3-4 Muslim centers within fifteen minutes of his old church in Chicago and I can guess where he’d go o most of the time) I say Ex-Com every liberal Dem that tries to mince on his contraception issue. Time to Hardline while we still have a line to stand on.

Good point Teacake,
Wright was personally an advocating Black Muslim prior to the Black Liberation theology. His masters of divinity from Chicago Theological Seminary is in Islamic Studies: West Africa 1700′s.
And, regardless, Black Liberation Theology is heterodox to Christianity.
“When the ill winds blow, I will always stand with the Muslims.” Barak Obama (in his book, The Audacity of Hope.”)
Where is the fucking draft coming from?
It’s my contention that bs has no principles, beliefs, or dogma other than getting reelected and creating a society dependent on the government for everything. I do think he leans toward islam and supports the Caliphate but that’s secondary to the main goals.
well Cardinal, he is anti-Christian!
Why does the Catholic church act so namby pamby around Democrats?
the cloward-piven strategy is coming to fruition and it seems it is coming fast. this man is a socialist and is hell bent on destroying this country and the constituion be dammed. GOD? most people in this country are sooo oblivious to what is happening to this country.
@Delaware Infidel
because liberals have done their damnedest though their Hollywood branch to make the people not care about how the system works or to actively participate.
Bunker : I am skeptical that most people in this country will get their head out of their ass. I doubt nothing will change their mind until it affects them. by that time it will be too late.
@chickadee Black Liberation theology is a socialist, reparations, slap whitey around and crush Amerikkka “church.” Not Christian at all
Yup. It just amazes me how people are blind to this. Its so obvious. He even admits in one of those stupid books of his, how much he hates white people and how he enjoyed manipulating people. I just don’t get the denial thing.
Well, Cardinal…. what was your first clue? “… I will stand with the Muslims”?
Duh.
The Catholic church chose sides a long time ago and now they are reaping the rewards. By the way, Mr. almost a cardinal, how many hungry children would the price of those fancy robes and ridiculous hat feed?
Can this be really true? That this soon to be cardinal of the Catholic Church has had the scales finally fall from his eyes and he now truly sees just what pure evil inhabits the White House and that he will now fearlessly confront said evil at every turn until it is driven back into the darkness whence it came. Can this really, really be true or will he allow himself to once again be lulled back into blissful and willing denial of the truth. One can only hope and pray he has truly joined this fight to the death of evil Obuttma and his evil commiecrats.
If he has wholeheartedly committed himself to this cause then we are starting to have a fighting chance of winning.
Hey Teacake did you see where Corsi just got fired from his securities job because of that banking scandal?

He’s pure evil padre.
Was reading that info link of yours “Nothing up my Sleeve”. Wow. That is a load of info.
===================================
“In America today,” the WND chief concluded, “it seems, more and more, doing the right thing has consequences while doing the wrong thing doesn’t.”
The philosophy of Eric Holder & Company day in & day out as “leaders” of the USA.
Catholics: enough with the crocodile tears, already. Obama had the “catholic vote”. They overwhelmingly supported this baby killing, present-voting, ultra leftist that hated America. Why is it all of a sudden that they’re ‘turning on him’? Because he’s doing things that directly impede them doing the things they want, and their pet projects? This opposition seems disingenuous, at best, especially from people like Dolan, who I’m sure knew who and what Obama was, just like everybody else did. I’m sure he also knew that Obama was anything BUT a Christian, considering he was a vicious fan of blasphemous black liberation theology. Whereas, before, they were silent or actually supporting him and his regime of baby killing, now they’re pretending they’re going to start shouting opposition from the rooftops. Sure, the catholics were not a monolitic voting bloc that universally supported Obama, but a lot more of them supported a leftist from the party of slavery, than anyone else. George Will had it right: ‘serves ‘em right’.
@Ms.Hickster
This looks like it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe now we’ll get to find out where a lot of that bailout/stimulus money really went. Banks shuffling money in and out of accounts internationally without any accountability sure does stink to high heaven. But If as I suspect there are a lot of people in high places that don’t want the truth exposed. Mr. Corsi ought to watch his back, same with Mr. Cruz.
I live in Illinois. Where Obozo was a “Senator”. He accomplished nothing as a Senator. All he did was shoot his mouth off and schmooze with the corrupt Chicago Machine!
Chicago and the State of Illinois is run by three families; Richard “Dick” Daley, Mike Madigan and now Rahm Emanual! This is Obozo’s “power source” in Ellanoise. I am 67. I wake up pissed off and go to bed pissed off because I did not save my money when I was young. Now I am stuck in Ellanoise. The most socialist liberal corrupt State in the Union! I fear Obozo will be re-elected! Ignorant electorate!
Matt 7:18…Beware of false professors, who come to you dressed as sheep (believing in the Messiah), but inside they are devouring wolves (defiled & defiling alal Hb#5953, Ar#5954). Eze 22:27 .. You will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles .. ? Even so every healthy sound tree bears good fruit worthy of admiration, but the sickly, decaying worthless tree bears bad worthless fruit. A good healthy tree cannot bear bad worthless fruit good fruit, nor can a bad diseased tree bear excellent fruit worthy of admiration.
Mark 4:22-25…Things are hidden temporarily only as a means to revelation / teaching…For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed, nor is anything temporarily kept secret except in order that it my be made known … If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening/shama & perceiving/shamar & comprehending/chayah … AND He said to them, BE CAREFUL what you are hearing … the measure of thought & study you give to the TRUTH (you hear Hb#8085) WILL be the measure of virtue & knowledge that comes back to you … and more besides WILL be given to you (who hear/shama) … for to him who has (hearing) more WILL be given; and from him who has nothing for hearing), even what he has WILL be taken away … Heb 11:6
I’m worried they will get some sort of concession from oblowme and then all will be forgiven. And it will show what a great man the resident is. gag me.
Save your money~Old age comes quick!
Yo Bishop, yo yo
heads up dood
Obama is trying to contracept and abort Christians out of existence.
Oh then when he FORCES Catholic churches to hold weddings for gays or they get their property seized, then he really gets to make a monetary dent.
Wake up Bishops.
Pah-leeeeze, ‘father’, you and your ilk sold your collective souls to the devil decades ago by getting into bed with the wealth redistributionists like FDR. You’ve looked the other way on: immigration (more paying customers for your coffers), welfare (less for you to spend), abortion (why stand on principle, after all)….what’s the freakin’ use? The Catholic ‘church’, despite it’s good deeds, is a business and when you a-holes went along with the big Left turn in the sixties to TRY to hold on to the money that you’ve now been forced to piss away for all the boy-touching pay-outs …THAT’S when you gave up your ‘faith’. The CEOs of the Catholic church sold you down the river for a handful of silver. Why can’t priests marry? That’s right, so the church didn’t lose a dime to wives, widows and (God forbid) ex-wives. It’s always been about the money, ya’ll.
Bottom line: Good luck finding any moral authority with most people.
Obama is a antichristian liberal biggot he is a confirmed communists and leftists dictator groomed and trained by the sinister forces of the ROTHCHILDS and ILLUMINATY
Dolan the Dunce. 1,000 Hail Mary’s for you dude.
Could it be Notre Dame will give Hussein another honorary degree;In Muslim studies?
What a joke the Catholic Faith and their parishoners have become.
Obamas ‘Christianity’ – like his ever changing hair color – is a stage prop.
@bwb
Right on!
Don’t jump in bed with the devil, if you don’t eventually expect to get f**ked.
@barbedwhiner
Exactly! How many Muslims are getting abortions or using birth control? There is no Planned Parenthood operation in Dearborn, MICH.
Meanwhile ………….what’s the odds on Bammy going to church vs. playing golf this comming Sunday ??
Some people are just so slow on the uptake.
Cardinal-designate, I am suprised that you are suprised. Anyone who was paying attention before the election knew that obama is not a Christian, was born and raised Muslim, had no meaningful work experience, was radical, and had hidden most of his background records.
duh
Dolan’s statement likens him to the inquisition—where, at the whim of a church official, one could be determined not to be a Christian (or a heretic).
@tadcf
Another! ridiculous conclusion, it’s obvious you didn’t learn logic, Anywhere. I was about to say in school, but we all know public schools shy away from real education.
Dolan, I applaud you, IF you are going to roll back 80 years of facilitating WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US NOW!
What’s hard to believe is that this putz along with other useful idiots are just now thinking that Obama might be anti-Christian. Us poor dolts out in the hinterland decided he was our enemy, and a muslim before the 2008 election. I was screaming to everybody about this un-American, demonic SOB before the Catholic guy voted for him.
Look, you can’t have this both ways. You’re either in support of the Church on this Constitutional issue, or your not. I hear a lot of people talking about what political missteps have been made by the Church, and I get it, but the fact remains that now they are taking lead and drawing a line in the sand against this Administration’s acceleration of the insidious progressive agenda that’s plagued this country for years.
So, you can choose to snipe about irrelevant matters that are not germane to the current topic, or support the Church in its refreshingly bold stance and say “no more” incursion by government into our beliefs.
