Not Limited to Catholics

EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC, THIS IS EYE OPENING..............
The Catholic Church is the oldest Christian religion in the world.
When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no hospitals. Today, one out of five people in this country receive their medical care at a Catholic hospital.

When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no schools. Today, the Catholic Church teaches 3 million students a day, in its more than 250 Catholic Colleges and Universities, in its more than 1200 Catholic High Schools and its more than 5000 Catholic grade schools.

Every day, the Catholic Church feeds, clothes, shelters and educates more people than any other organization in the world.

The new Obama Health Mandate could end all this and the tax payers would have to make up the loss.

Also, all Catholic adoption services would come to an end. A human disaster.

There are more than 77 million Catholics in this country. It takes an estimated 50 million votes to elect a president. I am asking all of you to go to the polls and be united in replacing our present president with a president that will respect the Catholic Church, all Christians, and all Religions besides Islam.

Mr President, you said, "The USA is not a Christian Nation".

You are wrong we are a Christian Nation founded on Judeo-Christian values allowing all religions in America to Worship & Practice Freely.

Oh, by the way:
MUSLIM HERITAGE IN America :
Have you ever been to a Muslim hospital ?
Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?
Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?
Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?
Have you seen Muslims, shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scouts?
Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?
Have your seen a Muslim do anything that contributes positively to the American way of life ????

Excerpts of an article written by Sam Miller, a prominent Cleveland Jewish businessman:

"Why would newspapers carry on a vendetta on one of the most important institutions that we have today in the United States, namely the Catholic Church.
Do you know - the Catholic Church educates 2.6 million students everyday at the cost to that Church of 10 billion dollals, and as savings on the other hand to the American taxpayer of 18 billion dollars. The graduates go on to graduate studies at the rate of 82%.
The Church has 330 colleges and universities in the U.S. with an enrolment of 700,000 students.

But the press is vindictive and trying to totally denigrate in every way the Catholic Church in this country. They have blamed the diesase of pedophilia on the Catholic Church, which is as irresponsible as blaming adultery on the institution of marriage.

Let me give you some figures that Catholics should know and remember. For example, 12% of the 300 Protestant clergy surveyed admitted to sexual intercourse with a parishoner; 38% acknowledged other inappropriate sexual contact in a study by the United Methodist Church; 41.8% of clergy women reported unwanted sexual behaviour; 17% of laywomen have been sexually harassed.
Meanwhile 1.7% of the Catholic clergy has been found guilty of pedophilia. 10% of the Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia. This is not a Catholic Problem.

A study of American priests showed that most are happy in the priesthood and find it even better than they had expected, and that most, if given the choice, would choose to be priests again in face of all this obnoxious PR the church has been receiving.
The Catholic Church is bleeding from self-inflicted wounds. The agony that Catholics have felt and suffered is not necessarly the fault of the Church. You have been hurt by a small number of wayward priests that have probably been totally weeded out by now.

Walk with your shoulders high and your head higher. Be a proud member of the most important non-governmental agency in the United States.

Then remember what Jeremiah said: 'Stand by the roads, and look and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it, and find rest for your souls'. Be proud to speak up for your faith with pride and reverence and learn what your Church does for all other religions.

Be proud that your're a Catholic."

Yes, but remember, everyday, Muslims are peacefully exploding bombs, killing infidels world-wide, and killing female family members for the sake of the family's "honor". But always in a peaceful manner. What more positive contribution could a peaceful religion make to society?

Sorry, It was small print and I read it wrong. It should be 10% not 18%.

The use of the word "Pedophile" is wrong in the article also. Pedophile is when the child is pre-puberty, and most were past puberty. Very few were actually pedophilia cases.

The topic of this thread is not about sexual abuse; this for the most part is well addressed in the Catholic Church and there is more awareness in other churches now. There will always be some occasions that will come up, as Christianity is made up of sinners.

The real topic here is how much Christianity has done to serve the public, not only Catholics, but many other Christian institutions have hospitals, burn centers, and there is the Salvation Army and many others.

Obama is uncomfortable with these Faith Based programs and is doing his best to limit them even though they do a better job than the Government can do and do it cheaper.

Why does Obama want to get away from or limit Faith Based programs? The only reason can be that he does not really believe in Christianity. Rev. Wright obviously never really taught Christianity, just social reform. He is just a wolf in shepards clothing.
