Catholics Fire Back at Obama over School Comments: 'Anti-Faith, Secular Agenda Shamelessly on Full Display'

Big Government   "Speaking in Ireland this week, President Obama stated that Catholic schools were divisive: “If towns remain divided—if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can’t see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to harden—that too encourages division and discourages cooperation.” On Thursday, the American Catholics for Religious Freedom fired back on President Obama’s words to 2,000 young people at the G8 Summit."

From the Scottish Catholic Observer: US President undermines Catholic schools after Vatican Prefect praised them
"The US President has made an alarming call for an end to Catholic education in Northern Ireland in spite of the fact that Archbishop Gerhard Müller told Scots that Catholic education was 'a critical component of the Church.’ "
Some of the comments to this article:
"The expert of division making speaks about division making."
 
Irish culture is not alone in Obama’s ignorance. Trust me, he is just as ignorant of American culture too. Yes, he stinks and his manners to Americans are equally atrocious.
Please don’t blame me as I voted for the other guy & am watching Obama destroy our country & culture.
 

 
"showing his ignorance and intolerance once again.. sigh..he is making America a laughing stock.. If it weren’t for Catholic education in the USA, there would be far less successful, moral, citizens in this country.. he hates the Catholic religion because we don’t allow abortion,we won’t go along with same sex marriage, and we are fighting his stance on making us pay for the above and for contraception in his Obamacare disaster ...."


"I’m still waiting for the dear leader to go to the podium in a Muslim country and make the same speech. Why is it with this guy that only Christians are required to suborn their faith to the state?"

"So ashamed of our President…he’s such a disgrace."

Obama, in Belfast, adopts Unionist argument against Catholic schooling 
"President Obama continued his charm offensive in Belfast yesterday. Emphasis on “offensive.” " ....Read what he said at the link.

This seems pretty innocuous, unless you know the context. The notion that religious education is the real problem in Northern Ireland is very politically controversial — a unionist argument that’s been used to attack Catholic schools’ right to exist. (Nearly all Protestant schools there handed over control to the state years ago.)

It is interesting to note here that he only mentioned Catholic and Protestant schools and didn’t bother to mention Madrassas,....

CHILLING – Obama Calls For End To Catholic Schools  "It was likely among the most shocking and classless attacks against the Catholic Church by any American president of the modern era – words spoken by Barack Obama right after a high ranking representative of the church praised Catholic education in Ireland."
