Thanks guys

As another example of “Catholic” Georgetown University going off the rails, on Wednesday its Law School will present an award to pro-abortion VP Joe Biden: www.christiannewswire.com/news/9900610130.html

Another megachurch pastor unequally yoked with the christophobic Obama, Joel Hunter, has become a shill for Obama's extremist pro-abort and pro–embryonic-stem-cell-research (and anti–adult-stem-cell-research) views, while still pretending to be pro-life. Jonathan Sarfati, Brisbane

Now it turns out that “Christian” Obama ordered the covering of a Christian symbol while he spoke at Georgetown University, which is meant to be a Catholic school: www.christiannewswire.com/news/9582610072.html

Wayne what you describe in the way of your whole church being mobilised (forced) to buy the books, “A Purpose Driven Life,” “A Purpose Driven Church” and finally 40 Days of Purpose – at great expense – must be something that many of us have experienced by churches, large and small, from the north pole to the south pole. I too have “shaken the dust of my sandals,” but over the issue of women in leadership and preaching roles.

However, though you and I might feel some sense of self righteousness over this, the possibility remains that we will all have a Rick Warren moment. Maybe we have not yet come under the kind of pressure that he has come under. This reminds me of Thomas Cranmer, let’s pray that Rick Warren is convicted, boldly repudiates homosexuality and all else in his teaching that up till now has led people astray.

Thanks Jonathan

Speaking of the Nazis, and referring back to the topic of Obama speaking at a Catholic University: Obama has now been invited to address another Catholic school, Georgetown University. Pro-lifer Randall Terry made a neat comment about this yesterday, reminding us of those Christians who voted for Obama despite his horrible pro-abortion record:

“Georgetown’s attitude seems to be: Germany’s leaders built great roads in the 1930s, they helped save the banks, and they rebuilt the economy. Let’s focus on their economy – not that whole genocide thing.”

Many believers take the same attitude with Obama: yeah, he is not very pro-life, but he is trying to reach out to others, and bring change, and be tolerant, and…

David Skinner makes a good point re the Nazis. Many on the left compare supporters of traditional marriage with the Hitler regime. Yet Hitler would never have risen to power without the support of the SA (Sturmabteilung) or Blackshirts, led by Ernst Röhm (1887–1934). Yet in his huge volume on Nazi history, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, journalist and historian William Shirer (1904–1993) describes Röhm as ‘a stocky, bull-necked, piggish-eyed, scar-faced professional soldier…[and] like so many of the early Nazis, a homosexual.’ Of course, it is not politically correct to mention this connection.

I left a Uniting Church in 2004 because of the manner in which Warren’s PURPOSE DRIVEN CHURCH booklet was being promoted-”you will be allocated to study groups” and I felt that it was relying upon man and not upon the Holy Spirit.
I feel vindicated but also sad that Warren has back-pedalled and brought shame to the Name of Jesus.

It is incredible that the Catholic Education Office is not subject to the authority of the Catholic Bishops.
We find a Catholic State MP who voted in favour of abortion in Victoria last year, and should have been rebuked by the Church, has now been honoured by a Catholic Primary School in western Melbourne [St. Bernard's] which has made him [Justin Madden] a Member of the school Hall of Fame!
I hope the parishoners will treat this as a deliberate insult to all those couageous people who have fought against abortion for almost 40 years, and cease their financial support. It is also an insult to the Holy Father who has specifically laid it on the line that Catholic politicians cannot support abortion. Stop funding this school!

The same applies to Notre Dame University in the US, which should cease claiming to be Catholic and have all Catholic financial support withdrawn.

I suspect Mr Warren is no different to our current Prime Minister, Barack Obama and many others who call themselves Christians, happy to say they don’t support same-sex marriage but ready to give ground to homosexuals on everything else.
Only trouble is, when the fire really gets hot they will turn their backs on anyone, even their mates, in order to try and put the fire out!
