Obama Gives the Church Green Light for Partisan Organizing

March 13, 2012 by Gerard M. Nadal

Talk about manna from Heaven! Here is a video of President Obama himself calling on African American churches to support his reelection by selecting “Congregation Captain[s]”.

There can be no further objection by the Catholic Bishops to publishing voter guides, or to organizing within our Churches. Obama just tossed the IRS regs. to the wind.

This matters, and for a great many reasons touching on biomedical ethics. This President has defunded the embryo adoption program begun by President Bush while simultaneously promoting the use of embryos for research. Then there are his Obamacare death panels, HHS Secretary who will pay for the contraception mandate by realizing the savings on not providing healthcare to humans not born…

He has declared war and is calling upon Churches favorable to him to work as churches to organize and get out the vote.

Game on.

    “… where everyone plays by the same rules.”

    From your lips to God’s ears, Mr. President. Hope you meant that. See you in court.

    Dear God help us. Protect us from attractive monsters. Protect us from false gods. Give our bishops your amazing grace to admit fault and fight fearlessly for us — especially for the unborn who will be aborted if he gets four more years and for the old and useless who will die before their natural death if he gets four more years. Dear God help us.

    Our pastors can cite St. Maximilian Kolbe who spoke about the folly of “fairness” this way:

    “When he sees the luxurious residence or the charming country house of a wealthy person, a poor workingman often asks himself: Why is there such inequality in the world?”

    How many volumes have been written about equality among men! How much blood has been spilled for this idea! And yet, in spite of it all, we still have the rich and the poor…

    Let us imagine that one day all the inhabitants of the work world would assemble to put into effect this sharing of all goods; and that in fact each person, granting that the world is very big, received an exactly equal portion of the wealth existing on earth.

    The what? That very evening, one man might say, “Today I worked hard: now I am going to take rest.” Another might state, “I understand this sharing of goods well; so let’s drink and celebrate such an extraordinary happening.” On the other hands, another might say, “Now I am going to get to work with a will so as to reap the greatest benefit I can from what I have received.” And so, starting the next day, the first man would have only the amount given him; the second would have less, and the third would have increased his.

    Then what do we do? Start redistributing the wealth all over again?

    Even if everybody began to work right away with all his might and at the same time, the results would not be identical for all. There are, in fact, different kinds of work which are unequally productive; nor do workers enjoy the same identical capacities. This leads to a diversity of results achieved, and consequently to differences in people’s profits.

    What would have to be imposed so that, once the division of goods was accomplished, people could continue to live on a basis of equality in this sense? All workers would have to perform the same tasks, all possess equal intelligence and ability, have similar professional training, the same degree of health and strength, and especially the same desire to put forth the necessary efforts. All of this is quite utopian.

    To continue the argument, even if there were only two persons in the world, they would not succeed in maintaining absolute equality; for in the whole universe there are no two things completely identical in every respect…

    In spite of this, the human mind still desires to bring about certain equality among men. Is there any possibility that this can happen? Yes, no doubt. Every man, whoever he is, whatever he possesses and whatever he is capable of doing, owes all this to God the Creator of the universe. Of himself man is nothing. From this point of view all of us are absolutely equal.

    Furthermore we all possess free will, which makes us masters of all our actions. This too constitutes the basic equality of all men on earth. But the use made of our free will is not the same in all cases; it depends in fact on each man’s own determination, on the extent to which he makes use of this precious gift; for not all do so in the same degree. It follows that not even after death will perfect equality be achieved; it will not in fact exist, because every man will receive a just reward or punishment according to his deeds, good or evil. ”

    Capitalizing historical opression of black people in his favor… how cute. MaryG: thank you for sharing! socialism/communism is just a bad idea all around.

    Mr. Obama, If you really wanted to get lots of black people to vote for you, why do you continue to support a eugenic organization that is comitted to and succeeding in eliminating millions of black children…

    I, personally, get tired of the black/negro slave card getting pulled…no one ever high-lights the Irish-Catholic slave issue in the USA, probably for fear of not being PC. None of what he says in the video is overly surprising, though. It’s hard to expect a man to hold himself to Catholic moral standards when he is not Catholic.

    I agree with Dr. Nadal. Good post.
