"The Anti-Defamation League wants an apology from Peoria's bishop following a recent homily comparing President Barack Obama's policies to those of despots Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.


During the message at St. Mary's Cathedral in Peoria, Roman Catholic Bishop Daniel Jenky contended social services for Catholics could be eliminated if Obama's directive to include contraceptives in health insurance continues. Jenky went on to compare the actions to past cultural wars against the Catholic Church."



Except for those Nazis the Church harbored after World War II. This was completely out of line and a huge misplay in policy by the church. He certainly does not represent me as a Christian.

1. Right

because access to contraceptives is just like being forced on a train at gunpoint to be carted off to a gas chamber.

Idiot.

2. if bishops want to play politics they should give up their tax exemption...now

[bluerum]

3. Agreed 1000%

4. I am getting dang sick of some of these bishops. If they want to keep politicizing their pulpits

they should not be surprised when there is push back on it or if their tax exempt status is challenged.

5. Why not just say he's worse than Stalin AND Hitler? Would THAT be going too far?

6. Well, the Catholic Church knows all about supporting Hitler

just ask Pope Pius XII.

[newspeak]

8. yeah, he shouldn't be bringing up comparisons

especially since herr hitler was a good catholic. A catholic who outlawed abortion. A catholic who exterminated those pesky jesus killing jews (even though it was really the cruel romans and jesus was a jew). A catholic who signed a concordant with the pope and weeded out all of those bleeding heart, socially conscious priests and nuns from the church. Yeah, keep talking.

7. He Is A Damned Liar, Sir, As He Is Neither In A Cell Or a Grave By Now

And he knows he is damned liar.
