Granted one member of a church is not responsible for the actions of the other members but what they are responsible for is giving legitimacy and money to an organization that not only committed the above actions but then covered them up (in some cases for decades).

It is this lack of responsibility and the acceptance of the illegal actions of their own church that makes this such a troubling issue.

And it speaks volumes to what these justices view the role of the church to be and how much they are willing to over look criminal actions in the quest for their own personal jesus.

if they hadn't just spend millions of dollars taking away the right of gays and lesbians to get married.

May 27th, 2009 | DUBLIN -- The Catholic orders responsible for abusing Ireland's poorest children say they're struggling to come up with money to help their victims. Yet investigations into their net worth paint a very different picture -- that of nuns and brothers with billions' worth of carefully sheltered assets worldwide.

yet he is against gay marriage.

Yes she really did uphold the gag rule and no matter how you spin it, that's not a good thing.

then you might have a valid comparison.

It's not just Obama's complete embrace of Bush/Cheney terror policies it's his other actions as well that our truly frightening.

Obama increased the amount of our tax revenue going to churches via the faith based initiative. The tax payers of this country were forced to give over $780 billion to corrupt Wall Street corporations because we were threatened with the "collapse" of our economic system if we didn't. Yet Obama increased Bush's faith based initiative allowing churches to spread even more hate and ignorance.

Obama successfully lobbied the Supreme Court to reverse a 23 year old decision and remove the right to have a lawyer present during questioning and limit a defendant's access to genetic evidence.

Now Obama is nominating a 6th Catholic for the 9 member Supreme Court.....not just any justice but the justice who upheld the Bush global gag rule on abortion.

In bending over backwards to appease his religious supports Obama has shown his true colors.

Cheney started the fire but Obama is fanning the flames.
