Catholics Want Greater Role For Religion |
http://catholicleague.org/07press_releases/quarter_2/070404_greater_role.htm
Le Moyne College and Zogby International released a poll today on
Catholic trends that caught the eye of Catholic League president Bill
Donohue. Here is what he said about it:
"The poll is interesting in many ways, but what is perhaps most
striking is the finding that six in ten Catholics (59 percent) say
'religion does not currently have enough influence' in public life.
Only 15 percent say it has too much sway; 23 percent say it has about
the right amount of influence.
"A decade ago, a Gallup Poll found that 24 percent of Catholics
thought that religious leaders had too little influence; 50 percent
said they had about the right amount; and 22 percent said they had too
much influence. That a much higher percentage of Catholics want a more
public role for religion today than was true ten years ago may be due
to the increased public concern over the status of the nation's moral
health. What is indisputable is that this change has deep
ramifications for those running for president.
"In presidential campaigns, it is the Catholic vote that is pivotal:
Protestants can be counted on to vote for the Republican nominee and
Jews can be counted on to vote for the Democratic candidate.
Catholics, on the other hand, have been in flux for the past few
decades, and whoever wins their vote wins the White House. The results
of this latest poll suggest that Catholic voters will be most
responsive to those candidates who support a more public role for
religion.
"This cannot be good news for those who have been clamoring for a more
private role for religion. The persistent invocation of the need for
separation of church and state is really code for trimming the public
role of religion in society. Those who ascribe to this restrictive
interpretation of the First Amendment are clearly out of step, at
least with Catholics.
"The time is ripe for all candidates to start explaining why the
public expression of religion is integrally tied to our nation's moral
health."

The catholic church did have a greater role at one time and we ended up

I live in a democracy not a theocracy and if some Catholic started trying to
influence my life based on the bumper book of goat herder stories it would
be time to slap them hard across the cheeks with a big wet fish till they
stopped.

So 59% want to bring back the Middle Ages. I hope they enjoy their

In other news, 6 in 10 Americans say that money does
not have enough appearance in their life.
It doesn't matter what ANY religion thinks. Governance
is no place for religion, period. I don't care what you
think, my public life is better without religion making
appearances in it.

The First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a religion. The
Catholic church has never accepted that. It is already in violation of
law when it takes political stances and urges people to vote a certain way.
This is a monstrously evil international corporation, built on blood and
bones, and staffed by an army of child-molesting perverts whom it will
protect at all cost, and whom it wishes to see back in charge of civil
society as it was during the Dark Ages that the church, itself, created.
Religion is not only stupid and false, it is evil. As Zola said,
civilization will only advance when the last brick from the last church
falls upon the head of the last priest.

On some talking head program -- I think it was Scarborough -- Donohue

Doesn't change my opinion that he and his League are a nasty, vindictive

"SOUTH PARK" LAMPOONS BILL DONOHUE
On last night's episode of the Comedy Central show "South Park,"
Catholic League president Bill Donohue appeared as one of the cartoon
characters, along with a figure of Pope Benedict XVI. The Easter
script depicted Donohue chastising the pope for being "too soft."
Donohue then takes over as pope. When a Jesus figure appears, he has
both the pope and Jesus arrested. After Jesus is killed by Kyle, he
resurrects and kills Donohue.
Donohue commented on this today:
"I have no idea why 'South Park' creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker
caricature me as a heartless thug. In any event, I stand convicted and
have no defense. Now I have to get back to business-I hear someone
just took some liberties with the Easter Bunny."

My point exactly. While you're busy being the whiny Nazi ***** that you
are, Donohue pretty much laughed it off and went about his business
finding *other* ways to play the oppressed victim.
Unlike you, he has some knowledge of picking one's battles.
Going after South Park would give him zero traction. The show's fans
(raising hand) would mock him for getting upset. If he did react as you
are, Matt and Trey would take advantage of that in an upcoming episode.
(Too bad you are just a nobody; otherwise you could have been a
character that same episode, with your lips firmly installed deep in
Donohue's colon.)
A historical example of what M&T do is what happened to "Chef" after
Isaac Hayes got mad when the show went after Scientology. (Ouch.)

Why so, *****? Why do you oppose freedom of speech when it attacks -
rightly- your sect and its "leaders" but support it when it comes to
attack other religions?
What's your point exactly with your postings, J Young? You say one
thing one day, and the opposite a few hours later...

Le Moyne College and Zogby International released a poll today on
Catholic trends that caught the eye of Catholic League president Bill
Donohue. Here is what he said about it:
"The poll is interesting in many ways, but what is perhaps most
striking is the finding that six in ten Catholics (59 percent) say
'religion does not currently have enough influence' in public life.
Only 15 percent say it has too much sway; 23 percent say it has about
the right amount of influence.
"A decade ago, a Gallup Poll found that 24 percent of Catholics
thought that religious leaders had too little influence; 50 percent
said they had about the right amount; and 22 percent said they had too
much influence. That a much higher percentage of Catholics want a more
public role for religion today than was true ten years ago may be due
to the increased public concern over the status of the nation's moral
health. What is indisputable is that this change has deep
ramifications for those running for president.
"In presidential campaigns, it is the Catholic vote that is pivotal:
Protestants can be counted on to vote for the Republican nominee and
Jews can be counted on to vote for the Democratic candidate.
Catholics, on the other hand, have been in flux for the past few
decades, and whoever wins their vote wins the White House. The results
of this latest poll suggest that Catholic voters will be most
responsive to those candidates who support a more public role for
religion.
"This cannot be good news for those who have been clamoring for a more
private role for religion. The persistent invocation of the need for
separation of church and state is really code for trimming the public
role of religion in society. Those who ascribe to this restrictive
interpretation of the First Amendment are clearly out of step, at
least with Catholics.
"The time is ripe for all candidates to start explaining why the
public expression of religion is integrally tied to our nation's moral
health."
