Democracy is a failed experiment--let's replace it with a Catholic dictatorship and keep the gays from marrying.

That's actually what the guy in the video advocates--Thy Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven. As he says, if not for "benevolent" Catholic dictators, we'd still be in the dark ages...

3. When you're living in religious bizarro world, cause and effect tend to be reversed.
I had a college textbook some years back that credited the Church as being "a beacon of hope" during the dark ages. I guess that's true the same way a drug dealer is a beacon of hope to the addict. They both work to create the situation in which they're needed.

2. Amazing, but not surprising.
As the talking snake crowd has turned the volume so high, and if they get the power they seek, the next logical step will be a brand war. Which should be a lot of fun to watch. These pompous child molesters realize that, and want to start their sheep believing it with infections such as this.

Organized religion? Fuck. Them. All.

5. Is this what Pat Buchanan has been listening to?? when
he said he would rather a christian monarchy rather than a secular democracy??? These guys are just one step away from Nazis. this is almost exactly what nazis talked about before. Better society, good of the family, only christians need apply etc. Next thing you know this michael voris will be talking about the expulsion of all jews and protestants and muslims. but not for a while.

6. Do the words "benevolent" and "dictatorship" go together?
We should all send him the message that it was pretty funny, as it has to be a gag. Of course, we know the only true religion is the snake handlers. They should be the only ones to have a vote!

:sarcasm: :rofl:

7. Oh, and quite predictably ...."Adding comments has been
disabled for this video"

On Youtube.

Oh, but LOOK! We CAN add comments to the channel's MAIN page!
I think even THAT will be disabled after they get a few dozen "loving" comments from DU members. Ideas??

I can't believe this man is serious..."only Catholics"?

Where did this man come from? Where did he get his education?

Never heard of him before, nor "Real Catholic TV" what on Earth.

This is pure bigotry and arrogance written large on Youtube.

Thanks for making me aware of this bullsh*T

9. Someone please remind me what the definition of sedition is...
It would be interesting to see what the content of their web site is but I am not willing to pay $10 per month for the "premium" content. If these people are serious they are one group of bat-shit crazy MF's.

10. Right to the end I thought this guy was spoofing us. Guess not.
His statements equate with radical right Islam. The history of the Catholic church disavows his belief that Catholicism brings all good to a nation. And I thought Christian fundies were ignorant.
WOW !

11. In Catholic World, there's only one issue--abortion.
Edited on Tue Aug-17-10 11:15 AM by bulloney
Depending on the priest, you can regularly hear sermons denouncing any candidate or party in a roundabout way that does not oppose abortion. It is the only issue. That's why the Catholic Church's subordinate, Right to Life, endorses a straight-line Republican ticket every election. Never mind that their endorsed candidate lies our country into wars that destroy lives, never mind that their candidate supports tax and economic policies that widen the chasm between rich and poor, never mind the person can be an adulterer, divorced and have a dysfunctional family. And never mind that they will endorse Republicans running for local and state offices that have no effect on abortion laws in this country.
