Bishop likens Obama to Hitler, Satan

[proud2BlibKansan]

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.

“Remember that in past history other governments have tried to force Christians to huddle and hide only within the confines of their churches like the first disciples locked up in the Upper Room,” Jenky said.

In comparison, he pointed to Otto von Bismarck's "culture war against the Roman Catholic Church, closing down every Catholic school and hospital, convent and monastery in Imperial Germany."

2. Jenky? More like JERKY. I say strip that diocese of their tax-exempt status. He's preaching

politics from the pulpit. Tax his ass, and tax every church within his authority. If he wants to start dissing Caesar, he can render unto him a percentage of the gross. Asshole.
