Several protests precede Obama visit

[jofo817]

This comment is for this "supposed" catholic priest Thomas Reese.......so then Tommy boy, if we follow your logic, you could ask Lucifer over for dinner for a little "friendly" debate/discussion too, huh? you phoney

[lq32]

How the fuck is Jesus Christ died for us?

There are other Religions before Christ,

Buddhism, Hinduism eg.

Jesus died because he is a pussy, he cannot defend himself, he should learn Wing Chun.

[qwer8907]

obama antichrist and apocalypse

[surigatt]

Freedom of speech for everybody. Except the Christians, of course...

[darkmasteryeti]

So fucking dumb... Grow up people. Obama was preaching smart thinking... Pro life activists don't seem to get it.

[CalifSunshine2008]

You can see that in a LOT of places. It's disrespectful to give the speech Obama gave at at CATHOLIC College. He would have been smarter to speek about the future or the students..but noooooooooo ... Obama the Arrogant talks about HIS political agenda about abortion. It will have a backlash......

[Hobbytrem]

PLEASE FOLKS!

Check this out on Google: "OBAMA CRIMES" and "Blog A Língua!" (search these words between quotations).

On A Língua! blog you can search on the finder for the title OBAMA CRIMES. There are texts in English and Portuguese.

OBAMA! SHOW YOUR DOCUMENTS YOU KENYAN FROM THE INTERNATIONAL KOMMUNIST!

WHY SECRECY? WHY PEOPLE DO NEED VISA TO ENTER AMERICA AND AMERICA ELEGES AN USURPER THAT COUNTERFEITS DOCUMENTS?

[CalifSunshine2008]

I agree..he's from Kenya. We've had lawyers try to get the documents..they sued him..but have been told they don't have "standing" to look at Obama's records.  Did you know that there are grand juries all accross the nation that either have indicted Obama or are in the process of indicting Obama on crimes of fraud and treason.

stemcell research, has sometimes used embryos..and that is blatant violation of a dignity, given to us.. but refused to them.. if you chose to.

I am pro-life and I am proud of it.

[CalifSunshine2008]

I believe that God blesses us for following him....and if we don't..we will see his wrath.

[watcheem]

why are the catholics against stamcell research??

[Slove099]

The Catholic Church is against embryonic stem-cell research because it involves the destruction of human embryos. Pope John Paul II said embryonic stem-cell research is related to abortion, euthanasia and other attacks on innocent life.

[CalifSunshine2008]

Stem cell research uses fertilized eggs .... a viable baby. This baby can be cloned for testing and bought and sold like a commodity.

[coleman409]

Sounds good to me!

[ichigoxryou2]

Stem cell research uses a baby. Most Catholics are Pro-life. One the the 10 Commandments are "thou shalt not kill". So, in stemcell research, they kill, which is against our faith in every way.

[holyunderware2000]

stem cell resaech can also use a miscarried fetus and stem cell resarch if allowed to continued has the pontential to save countless lives

i think saving lives is something jesus would have wanted you to get behind

but what do i know

[ichigoxryou2]

For your information, they can use adult stem cells. Cell from arms and stuff. How is it right that they kill one person to save another? It doesn't work that way. It's not okay to kill someone to save someone else's life when they can do it without killing someone!

[holyunderware2000]

adult stem cells are not the same they are considered to be more often predetermined then those found in a fetus and are not as useful in research

and president bush sent thousands into iraq under false pretenses which resulted in 5,000 american lives and tens of thousands of iraqi (innocent included) so dont sit there and tell me that christians are against killing

and besides god HIMSELF ruthlessly murdered millions in the bible (including children)

[ichigoxryou2]

It's the exact opposite witht the fetus thing. What about every other single war that has existed. World War I and World War II. What about when we used a bomb to destroy millions of Japanese? We went in their to try to help the situation! What are you talking about? When did "God himself" ever kill in the bible?? Refer to one part!!!

[holyunderware2000]

no its not thats why they use fetuses its not like they are looking for some excuse to use babiesand i thought you said killing was against chrisitan values apparantly its not (thank you for proving my point)

hmmm when did god kill people himself?...

soddam & gammorah, the first born of egypt, the egyptians in the red sea, lot's wife, judah's son, 14,000 klled by plague, 60,000 jews who looked inside the arc of the covenant, and THE ENTIRE WORLD besides noah

to name only a few....

[ichigoxryou2]

It IS against Christian values!! Just look at the Ten Commandments (or do you not even know what those are?)

They were only killed because they were evil. It's not cool to kill.

Jesus Christ died for us. He died so that we could make it to Heaven!

[holyunderware2000]

thou shalt not kill is only the 6th commandment if killing is so important why isnt it number one?

your not being consistant one second you say killing is against chrisitan values but in the next you say its ok (if they are evil)

and what did jesus sacrafice? hmmm he was supposed to be god. he sacraficed himself to himself in order to save people from the "sins" he KNEW they would commit in the first place he didnt sacrafice ANYTHING, he died and became god. wow amazing sacrafice

[ichigoxryou2]

Because if you didn't believe in God (which is the very first commandment) how could you be expected to follow any of his laws?

I never said that killing was okay!!

I guess whether you believe that Jesus Christ is God, is your opinion.

Fighting against each other is pointless. You will never agree with what I'm saying, and I'll never agree with you.

[holyunderware2000]

you said "they were killed because they were evil" which means under certain circumstances its acceptable

you cant sit there and tell it did not happen (you believe it did) the commandmentt says thou shalt not kill it doesnt have a qulifier

so apparantly it doesnt apply all the time

and its not pointless if you truley believe the bible, it states that it is your biblical duty to convert non believers and to give the reason for your faith

but if you want to tap out be my guest

[ichigoxryou2]

It does say to convert people. But if that means to listen someone bad mouth something that I grew up with my ENTIRE life than it's not worth it.

Some people are just not open to change or listening to other people's opinion.

It's pointless to even try when someone is like that.

Stop challenging me. And my faith.

[Tunedup81]

have you watched the news lately? we still are in war, and our current administration is sending MORE troops to war, and is Out spending any previous administration in the history of our Country.. yea thank god were moving forward alright.. gesh

[gameday26]

How els can we clean up the mess from the last eight years?

[Tunedup81]

You must cut taxes on 100% of the American Public. Dont raise taxes on Insurance companies, on Industries who rely on coal. we need change but by these proposed taxes on businesses all thats going to do is Hike Costs on Consumers and Lay employees off. Proven fact (its going on now) Cut Taxes, Shrink Government, and throw out failed Forign and Economic polices that do nothing more than cost lives and money to those who still have jobs. We can't spend our way outa this hole. It takes Conservation

[JesusFreakDK]

You are a disgrace to the name you claim.

"Traditor"

[wofasifu]

The priests and staff of Notre Dame are a disgrace to the Church and Christians. LIFE is the most precious thing we have and they make it of lesser importance than the "broader issues". Do they not follow Jesus Christ any more - what other values are they going to demean.

[gameday26]

Why would a priests be pro choice? if you kill a young boy he'll never grow up to be an alter boy. By the way I'm pro life

[56gig]

Our country is falling apart and BO thinks this is a good time to stop off and raise a little money for the DNC?

$15,000 to attend?

Boy they are so power hungry it's scary.

[tanishagingerich]

also, jevil... Are you suggesting that these "supposed" leaders, politicians, and religious right wingers should be seen as the prophets from God. My opinion is that they are mostly corrupt and only have power because they have found people more ignorant than them to follow them... They are greedy, self-righteous, and find anything they can to leech on... People in the US are "special" and should focus on real issues... Abortion is a bandaid cause

[tanishagingerich]

who the fuck deemed these people our moral majority... The Catholic church may not agree with abortion, but it also supports the free thinking and belief that God will judge us... These people are more immoral than most people in this world combined... They were the missed abortions that should have happened. Such freaks

[kevinhdo90]

Honestly, it is against the catholic church to support abortion in any way b/c that is killing life. Now as to why I believe Obama should not have gotten his degree at Notre Dame is b/c what the school represented and now isn't. It "was" the highest prestige Catholic University, and now...it will or should be stripped of status commencing such an act against the those in the Vatican. =/

[MrTheBeast]

are you serious

[ichigoxryou2]

I am more moral than you. Catholics do not care what religion the rest of the world worshipes. But when people deliberetly bash our religion, something that we've grown up with all our life, how can we not get angry?

[murk2002]

I think some of these people need to be aborted.

[chgosatrap]

could somebody show me the videos where they protested priests committing pedophilia ?

[tubette1]

why can't people have different beliefs and get along? am so sick of this......

[ichigoxryou2]

The problem is not that we have different beliefs. It's -just - most people bash Catholism. That's why we get so angry. ..

[RocknRage]

im so tired of watching these political videos, n arguments, there so stupid and pedestrian. yet i watch them to piss myself off

[jevil1979]

But realize this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Get ready for the future!

[tmo7759]

Notre Dame is a haven for pedophiles.

[HemiHead66]

When are you people gonna learn to separate religion and politics? Haven't you had enough of these Neo-Nazi criminals that you keep electing to our Government? Can't you see that they're using you? And do they stop abortion? No. You can't stop abortion by getting somebody to pass a law, it has to be done the hard way. You have to get people to act more responsible. And not by calling them murderers. It's time to step up and do something instead of complaining all the time.

[chgosatrap]

oh just wait a few weeks. Sooner or later, like the truth about Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart and other self-appointed gods, the truth will come out. Terry Randall has a gay son, and a Muslim daughter. He is on his 2nd marriage, and the Catholic church against divorce. Obama is not divorced.

[HemiHead66]

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Are you replying to something I wrote?

[justtex1975]

H wrote: "When are you people gonna learn to separate religion and politics?"

About the time time you learn to ~join~ honest, studied thoughtfulness, with your commentary.

[HemiHead66]

You want some honest studied thoughtfulness with my commentary? Blow me! Then you won't have to worry about pregnancy / abortion anymore. How's that smart ass?

[CamAtheist]

here here

[justtex1975]

Even IF anyone could find that tiny thing, I seriously doubt anyone would want to "blow" you until you've at least learned some manners, & how to wipe or wash off all that sickening pus & your mom's stinky crap.

[HemiHead66]

My mother is dead cum breath. And if ya ever want to find out how tiny it is I'll gladly ram it down your fucking throat. Now fuck-off asshole. I'm busy exposing the stinking Republicans that forced a few guys in the Bronx to become terrorists so they can make headlines. We're done playing their little Neo-Nazi games.

[justtex1975]

Too bad your mom didn't abort your worthless ass. It's past time for you to go meet up w/your mom you worthless asshole.

The world would be much better off without dumb ass, loud mothed hate filled nonsense spewing idiot pricks like you, in it.

Go fuck yourself, again, w/a big dog turd you jackoff.

That's the best you'll ever get, since nobody else is, or ever will be, interested in you, or whatever insane bullshit you may have to say from time to time.

[HemiHead66]

People don't care about what's happening to this country. They're to busy voting for gun rights and abortion. Both are important, but not more important than our country. This is one thing that Obama actually got right.

[noreast77]

if these people really wanted to prevent abortions they'd be out giving honest sex ed classes- but they have to be "agianst" something as thier leaders seek to scare and manilpulate them

[chgosatrap]

They would also hold men accountable; women don't get pregnant alone.

[GT37RB18C1]

If the comment really is in your opinion, a bad one, then by all means give it a thumbs down, or up, w/e YOU want...but don't just skim through every comment and find anything that questions a topic or opinion and criticize it because you aren't listening. That goes for more than just religion, but it seems you find this situation the most with religious topics and issues.

[GT37RB18C1]

I love the person that went through and gave every comment dealing with confronting any sort of religion a thumbs down, for that I gave it a thumbs up! It has gotten to a point where people do not care to hear other opinions at all, they let themselves be shackled to their belief in something they can't control. Not agreeing with someone is one thing, but to go so far as to be so set in your ways that you won't listen to the other side is no different than the politics that govern our country.

[landsker]

Support the Taliban, the only organisation that can reduce the size and cost of the US military! Thankyou.

[RocknRage]

supported

[landsker]

God is dead. In fact "he" never lived. Leave it alone.

 9/11 was an inside job. Protest about that you silly folks.

[javy150]

Where were all these catholic fanatics when pro DEATH penalty Bush gave a (moronic) speech at their university?? And didn't John Paul II himself plead with Bush not to illegally invade Iraq?. Catholicism=Hypocrisy.

[waylon07]

The U.S. needs to ban religion

[emschurch]

Stupid Catholic Morons! Made up religion! And Obama is not pro abortion he is PRO CHOICE!

[justtex1975]

Fr.'s Jenkins, Reese & all the others know full well that most ppl wouldn't be happy about Obama's speaking @ ND.

The problem is rewarding Obama with an honorary degree.

AZ didn't give the typical honorary degree, by stating they recognized Obama's short track record.

If ND wishes to remain a force in Catholic life, & as spiritual leaders, the leaders of ND need to recognize & fully consider, just how deeply so many Catholics feel about some of the issues that Leftist politicains promote.

[amb137]

@Just:

Read smth by Hitchens. God is not great. US waterboarding is no better than that done by Japs who were prosecuted for war crimes. Uncle Sam is bankrupt. American supremacy ended along with the labels `Made in USA'. Now, tell us how ND Catholics' prayers will prevent demise of American Idiocracy.

[noreast77]

justtex religions time is passing, there is no "catholic life" left to be a force in, thus thier submission to a war president which Jesus would not accept. It is ND's way of staying relevant as "catholic life" fades...
