These lying hypocrites are SO proud of their pride. <br /><br />...and of their recent $1million gift of a mosaic in one the the domes of the Basilica, which 'Donna' proudly blessed, amid great ceremony. <br /><br />God's Response? 'bitch-slap to the head' in the form of the Judge's ruling! <br /><br />The KOC has amazing vast millions (if not billions) in assets. And rather then FEED the hungry....or house the growing numbers of newly homeless/foreclosed families......they erect monuments to themselves? And their outrageous pride & hate of their brothers & sisters?<br /><br />I clearly see the Hand of God in this. <br /><br />Anon Y.

Maybe the Catholic bishops and the K of C could start giving their money to worthy causes again instead of supporting bigotry.wild hairhttp://www.wildhair95.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-50597863349501147962010-08-05T01:34:38.371-06:002010-08-05T01:34:38.371-06:00NY Times, great editorial:

And due to some excellent reasoning, as I have been observing on MSNBCs Olbermann & Maddow shows. <br /><br />Indeed, 'religion' has no place in civil law, as per the law of the land. AND as per the Gospel of Jesus Christ! The only type of 'public morality' which Christ preached was the Leaven of the Kingdom. That is: if you have genuine faith, then you will act the part. <br /><br />...and your words & deeds will clearly display this 'Leaven'. Without posturing, screaming, ranting or protesting. The love of Christ will be manifest in your person. Others will learn from you & desire to have this in them. Thus, the 'Leavening' action He spoke of. It would be a natural occurance - as it was in the pre-Nicean Church. <br /><br />As the Knights of Columbus were the principal supporters AND funders of of Anti-Gay hate rallies, marches, protests.....and the very legislation which has just been struck down, they will have good reason to drink. <br /><br />My view is: they have DARED to play Chess with God.....and lost. God Checkmated them, right in the middle of their Uber Pious Convention of Self-Righteousness.<br /><br />:D<br /><br />Anon Y. MouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
