This shows me how the President disrespects religion

“Pope Francis’ first visit to the United States quickly approaches, a guest list for his welcome ceremony was revealed by the Obama administration and included guests that not only offend the Vatican, but also will test the pope’s tolerance, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The Obama administration has decided to invite transgender activists Mateo Williamson and Vivian Taylor, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, Bishop Gene Robinson and Sister Simone Campbell, an activist nun who leads a group criticized by the Vatican for its silence on abortion and euthanasia.
Despite the pope saying he doesn’t believe in judging persons and is ready to welcome anyone in Christ’s name, he has also said that Catholics do not accept the modern mentality of transgenderism and that gay marriage is the devil’s “attempt to destroy God’s plan,” Breitbart reports.
“This is the group Obama has personally invited to the White House to meet the pope?” said Rush Limbaugh on “The Rush Limbaugh Show.”
“Some people are saying that this is perfectly Obama. He’s got the pope coming, and he wants to insult the pope, put pressure on the pope, and challenge the pope,” Limbaugh added.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that he was unaware of the guest list and also reminded reporters that “there will be 15,000 other people there too.”
The Wall Street Journal reports that the welcoming ceremony for the pope will be held on the White House’s South Lawn on Wednesday, however, according to a senior Vatican official, the Holy See has noted their concerns that any photos of the pope with these controversial guests could be interpreted as an endorsement of their activities.”
I interpret this as an incredibly disrespectful attitude on the part of the President. He now has two strikes. Strike 1: Showing disrespect for Jews and Strike 2: Showing disrespect for Catholics. My very strong opinion.
Here is why I care: I have always felt that the President needs to have “class and character” This action is a total lack of both. That makes me ashamed of him.
Al, show me the Martin Luther King of today, the Gandi of today, no world leader is worth his weight in gold…your an old soul Al…I’m ashamed of the world we all live in
completely agree original. I would hope that this will change. Don’ you?
OJJ, there isn’t one and there probably isn’t going to be one either. The world is moving on to a different cultural stage. Meaning the western world or all of the ‘developed’ world perhaps. It’s part of the ageing process and atrophy of our fundamental culture. It’s probably irreversible, except at a personal level but the personal level might not change the world around you. You just have to take the chance, deal with the personal level and not be too taken up with the cares of the world. Another culture will ascend in time to take the place of the one we have had.
AL..I totally agree as do the people I associate with…unfortunately there are people on this site that I put in the same category as the President…and I am ashamed to say that he is President…
Agree Gator.
Here the wheat is being separated from the chaff.
Hum… What did you say this morning Big Al ?
What is the IP address ?
Maybe the Vatican has some gold for the Commander in chief …
Please explain, Gabriel.
Agree with you Al about the President and the Pope.
Don’t know if it is true but I read somewhere that the Vatican
has 60t-65t of gold … Maybe can give some for the Crimex … oops sorry the Comex.

Lol
Playing fire Gabby.
Why Jason ?
I grew up in the Catholic religion and I respect that religion.
What I think and apply is personal to me.
I am just exposing the fact.
Ignoring listener Gabriel, our monarch has a stately coach weighing in at 4 tons of solid gold for starters. lol.
Hunh? What does that mean?
How about the Pope share the BILLIONs the church has with those that desperately need it, open the churches to those fleeing from war, feed the hungry!
I guess that would be just too Christian like??
Okay, enough said from Big Al
Q: What did Jesus say to the first pope? A: “Get thee behind me, Satan!”
O Wayne you naughty man!! Someone once asked how come the Vatican could justify its wealth given that there were slums almost within its shadow? The official replied: ‘We’ve got to keep the image up’. That said we’ve got enough graven images here in the Anglican Church!
WHO CARES!! MAN THIS SITE NEEDS TO UP ITS MEDS!!,,,,,,????????????
