Cardinal Dolan: The Obama Administration Wants to Divide the Catholic Church and Paint the Bishops as Bullies (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 4, 2012, 11:25 PM
Cardinal Timothy Dolan accused the Obama Administration of wanting to divide the Catholic Church, one of Alinsky’s favorite tactics.
“I don’t want to judge people, but I think there would be a drift in the administration that this is a good issue. And if we can divide the Catholic community because it’s already divided and if one can caricature the bishops as being hopelessly out of touch, these bullies who are trying to achieve judiciously and legislatively what they’ve been unable to achieve because their moral integrity has been compromised recently. There’s that force out there trying to caricature us…
…If we duct tape the role of religions and the churches that’s going to lead to a juge deficit a huge void. They want to fill it up. A new religion called secularism which would be as indoctrinaire and as infallible as they believe the church is. “
This O’Reilly Factor interview was recorded before the Catholic Church brought a lawsuit against the Obama Administration.

Did you know that John Roberts wife is Catholic?
Robert commented:
Perhaps not in the venue of an interview, but the Catholic Church needs to call out prominent Catholic politicians who have worked against the Church. Freedom was just dealt a terrible blow by Roberts, a Catholic. And the communist regime of health care is being ushered in by Sebelius, a Catholic. (both in name only as far as I’m concerned)
LARRY TEAM ROMNEY commented:
The Cardinals are an important voice for all Christians, and the values of our founding fathers have never been in more jeopardy. They are very brave, and wise, to embrace heterodoxy and Mormonism for the greater good of humanity.

Larry at #4,
either you’re being snide/sarcastic or you don’t you understand the meaning of the word “heterodox.” Heterodox means NOT being faithful to orthodoxy — literally, “right/correct belief” — i.e., the teaching of Jesus Christ as it has been handed down for the last 2,000 years. “Heterodox” is a label that applies to heretics, dissidents, people who say “religion doesn’t matter because all paths lead to the same Higher Power, ” and rebellious lesbian feminist “nuns” who march around for abortion rights, etc. Heterodox is NOT a word with which to label bishops who are doing their best to faithfully teach what Jesus Christ taught.

I sorry buddy, but this is what the church elders deserve.
You all supported the guy, and he is paying you back the only way he knows.
Just take your medicine like the rest of us.
southernsue commented:

I wish Jim Hoft would transcribe the actual words said by the interviewee in these clips he features. Get some students and. Appoint one of ‘me the de-Hofterizer.

A little late to the party, Father. I remember the Catholic bisops being pretty excited and supportive of Obamacare before it was passed. Now, something’s wrong? If the Church thinks that somehow it will be given religious freedom with Obamacare, then it is profoundly wrong. The Church is in this horrific situation because of it’s 75 year support of the Democratic Party. Whenever the priests have a choice between Marx and Christ, they chose Marx in the name of Christ.

IMO the Catholic Church needs to take a stand. Excommunicate Pelosi, Kerry, Selibus and any other “catholic” politician, who votes for abortion.

Of course Obama wants to divide Catholics. He wants to and is dividing the whole Country. Makes it much easier to destroy things that way. I went to Catholic schools for 12 years so I know what I’m talking about here. The Catholics have slavishly supported Democrat policies for 50 years. Now the Dems have decided to persecute them as thanks for that slavish support. The Catholics damn well deserve what Obama is damn well giving them. Just think back to Vatican 2 Conference, all the guitar stroking, activist nuns, allowing the Priesthood in America to be taken over by militant pedophile homosexuals, etc, etc. Oh yes, they are paying the piper. I attended traditional, Latin Mass with the Priest facing the Alter, just like we did for 1900 years and these Same Bishops persecuted and sanctioned the poor Priest and Parish. They harshly eliminated, just like Obama, any dissent or desire for traditionalism. They are getting what they ask for. Hey Catholics; see what support for Socialism rewards you with???
justbelieveit commented:
Before you lump all Catholics as democrats you need to know that there are many of us that are not and never have been one. I am a Catholic from the cradle. NO ONE in my family (all Catholic) has voted DemocRat for as long as I can remember(of course we don’t live in the East). We have also have had no problem contacting our Bishops to let them know how we feel about Obummer and aligning with him, way before the Obummer care was started, even before the election. Raymond Arroyo of The World Over news program on EWTN has been actively criticizing the Obama administration and Democrats since before for the election. There have been many Catholics I know speaking out about this administration. Sadly, it took this to wake up the Bishops. Hopefully, it is not too late.

Are you aware you just volunteered Mr. Hoft to a bunch of work, delay, and added expense?
Why don’t you make the effort to make or locate transcripts? Commenters here often bring links to transcripts after the video has been up for a while. It’s rare that the transcript is immediately available, and pre-published speeches often are distinctly different from the speech as delivered.
Further, some poor-quality sources such as MSNBC cheat by editing both their videos and their transcripts. Such false-light editing can be detected if the video is posted, but not through the transcript.
I want to see the source video wherever possible, and transcripts, if they are accurate, can be added later.

Fine, your Eminece, dont “judge people” if you “dont wnat to.” But you d**n well better judge their behaviour! And prary. Pray for G-d to “give us men [and women] a time like this demands!”
God give us men!
A time like this demands strong minds,
great hearts, true faith, and ready hands.
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie.
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And brave his treacherous flatteries without winking.
Tall men, sun–crowned;
Who live above the fog,
In public duty and in private thinking.
For while the rabble with its thumbworn creeds,
It’s large professions and its little deeds,
mingles in selfish strife,
Lo! Freedom weeps!
Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps.
God give us men!
Men who serve not for selfish booty;
But real men, courageous, who flinch not at duty.
Men of dependable character;
Men of sterling worth;
Then wrongs will be redressed, and right will rule the earth.
God Give us Men!
Josiah Gilbert Holland. (1819–1881)

We must forgive, but not live by their mistakes
This movement afoot has far too high stakes
Those demonizing some Catholics for errors of a few
Have no idea that it’s not just Catholics, government is coming for you
Catholics however number in one mass world wide
Government has been trying for centuries its union to divide
Politics proved quite effective with the current PC and secular rule
Put marxist propaganda in and take God out of school
Soup kitchens, hospitals, gay Aids care, the aged, infirm and adoption agencies
Government wants Catholics out of them so only government oversees
McCarthy found Marxist propaganda in films in the 1940s which the KGB conceded
McCarthy’s proved truth has now been through 50 years national marxist education defeated
The pedophile scandals were called out by those engaging in them still
Largely these were homosexual priests but that part received no media overkill
In fact the same people never willing to admit how many cases were extortion
Are hellbent on imposing gay marriage, gay indoctrination and Catholic funded abortion
In case you think that the Catholic church is the only place where hypocrites preside
Don’t look too closely at churches, schools or anywhere gays or gay sympathizers reside
In case you don’t recognize the movement, remember Saul Alinksy was mentioned before
These people know division weakens us so their attacks will be extremely hard core
Religious freedom was our very first amendment and there was no whim involved in that choice
Without the freedom to express our different views in public there is no freedom for each voice
Christianity was never imposed even though when we were founded it was acknowledged as our guide
And these secularists wanting Marxism are redefining words and rewriting history as they seek to override
This is an unprecedented awakening of American bishops that their capitulation led to this fight
We are all Catholics right now as this mandate is not just for Catholic might
Like the many well intentioned Americans who have by years of great abundance been misled
Too many have forgotten that laziness, dependence and false compassion keeps corrupt government well fed
There are none who can throw stones right now either by disinterest or ignorance it’s all on us
Cold hard eyed reality demands our attention, everyone of us must get on this bus
