Bush panders to Catholics this morning attending Mass in Florida.
Bush, a "born again" protestant fundamentalist made himself HIGHLY VISIBLE in a Roman Catholic church this morning working the vote. Bush, a friend of the Rev. Bob Jones (who has attacked Roman Catholicism, calling it a "satanic cult" and has called the Pope, the "Anti-Christ") is trying to pull out the anti-choice vote, so "whatever works". Bush only respects life before birth. His record breaking 152 executions in Texas, his murdering over 100,000 innocents in Iraq, taking the lives of 1100 more young American military kids is the height of his hypocrisy, a word, that along with "pharisee", Bush cannot even spell.

"The president began the day at The Church of the Epiphany, a Roman Catholic church where the pastor, Monsignor Jude O'Doherty, all but endorsed Bush. 'Mr. President, I want you to know that I admire your faith and your courage to profess it,' the priest said in a long tribute to Bush. 'Your belief in prayer and dependence on God has to be an example for all of us.'"

5. He wants to be like Kerry, imitation is the highest form of flattery!
Bush will do and say anything for any last minute trickle down votes. A pathetic loser and failure, he will be a history nightmare.

10. I can't beleive the priest gave Bush the Host
In the Roman Catholic Church I beleive doing something like that could be grounds for excommunication. The priest KNOWS this man is not a Catholic and I beleive he is forbidden to administer the sacrament to someone not part of our Church.

Hey, maybe I'm wrong but that's what they told me in Catholic school.

7. That priest is a loser.
Edited on Sun Oct-31-04 06:50 PM by LibDemAlways
He obviously doesn't read much or he would know what a phony shithead the chimp is. "Faith" my ass. Chimp's gods are money, power, war, killing, death, and destruction. Sickening that he would show his ugly simian face in a Catholic church and that the priest would welcome him as anything other than someone possessed by demons and badly in need of an exorcism.

8. Does Msgr. O'Doherty Know that Bush's great-grandfather George Herbert
Walker refused to study for the priesthood (the career choice his parents had chosen for him, left the seminary against his parents will, he dissented with the catholic faith (and religions) the rest of his life and married a protestant woman (in a wedding that his parents never attended because they were still angry at him?)

My point is that religion doesn't seem to have played any major role in the bushes lives until now when it politically convenient. And, my second point is that when I saw the snippet of Bush coming out of what seemed to be a Catholic Church (and indeed it was) I ... could not believe my eyes at the idiocy of the priest coming out with him.
