Jesuit: Destroyers of Catholic education? The pope's minions? Both?!?!

It's amazing that the pope's actual power is so different from its appearance to conspiracy nuts. If Benedict had all the power they ascribe to him, I imagine that the lobbies for abortion, embryo reseach, and gay marriage would have much less influence.

Mark,

"Is there anything they can't do?"

How about; run a university that doesn't turn out pagans and episcopalians?

I saw Susan Jacoby on C-span 2 yesterday where she said she's comfortable with liberal Catholics. I wonder why?

"I was born and raised a Catholic...": Nature's way of warning you that whatever will be said next will be a raving farrago of nonsense.

My quote of the day.

Mine too, Scott. I expect it will appear on my blog before too long (properly credited, of course). Fortunately I was through eating when I read it, so didn't have to clean the monitor.

I was curious about this Phelps character who the speaker was introducing, so I went to his website (vaticanassasins.org). Mr. Phelps identifies himself as a "White American Freeman
Dispensational, Fifth Monarchy, Seventh-Day Baptist-Calvinist". Not joking, thats an exact qoute.

"White American Freeman..."

Which is the moral equivalent of white supremacists. This guy is too absurd to take seriously.

I especially enjoyed the fact that we are endowed by God with certain "un-a-lien-able" rights - so that no lien can be attached to my property. Cool!

Yeah, jj, that part cracked me up too-- it was really all about liens. I'm so glad we have such astute Latin scholars working to protect us from the evil threats of liens and Jesuits...

That was just too dumb for me to finish watching.

I was born and raised a Catholic..."

Except that no one is "born" Catholic, except in the sense that they are born again, of water and the Spirit, in baptism.

If the Jesuits are so secretive, how does this toady know about them?
