Video: Bishop Jenky: Obama like Hitler, Stalin
The churches are beginning to stand up and speak out. Many of them remember the wrath put on them under the Hitler, Stalin times and under many other anti-freedom, anti-religious liberty regimes, even under soft dictatorships. Even the mega-churches, who sometimes lag, seem to be joining the Black Robe Regiment movement. People, churches and groups of all kinds who lived through the rise of tyranny are afraid and are beginning to speak out everywhere!
Now, the Thomas More Society is going to defend the IRS complaint against Jenky. The Thomas More Society won't have the law on their side, but they may prevail simply because six Supreme Court Justices are Roman Catholic.
ReplyDeleteThe Roman Catholic Church is not the only faith organization that has freedom of religion. In my faith tradition, that about which Bishop Jenky and some in the Roman Catholic Church are so agitated is not an issue. I am agitated about the denial of an important healthcare tool to women (contraceptives) and I am agitated about the Roman Catholic Church's attempts to deny LGBT Americans equal rights, respect, and dignity. I am also agitated with President Obama for not bringing at end to the war in Afghanistan.
Within the confines of the Roman Catholic Church, Catholics can do as they wish, but I expect them to refrain form imposing their doctrine on me through force of civil and criminal law and I expect them to turn the sexual abusers in their midst over to legal authorities rather than protecting them on the misguided and false claim that the Roman Catholic Church is not bound by civil or criminal laws.
I am very tired of having to fight religious institutions instead of allying with them to create peace and economic justice for our country and our planet. If the Roman Catholic Church cannot abide having their taxpayer-subsidized businesses such as hospitals and adoption agencies regulated by the government, there are plenty of opportunities for good works which can be financed solely through donations to the church coffers, in which case I would be thrilled to ally myself with the Roman Catholic Church.
In protest of Bishop Jenky's remarks and the Roman Catholic Church's War on the separation of church and state and on equal rights and dignity for all people, I created this parody website:
