Obama's solution to Newtown

Not that he'd ever SAY it...

It's "CHRISTMAS", not "HOLIDAY"!!

The assault on Christmas continues, but this article over at The Blaze shows that you can't keep a good Christian down for long: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/nativity-on-wheels-pa-community-battles-atheist-complaints-with-display-of-jesus-birth-on-platform-in-front-of-city-hall/

The Union Killed Twinkie the Kid

The union demands were too much, so Hostess is shutting the whole thing down. I guess the union figures that "out of work" was better than "having a job". http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/NATL-Twinkies-Maker-Hostess-Going-Out-of-Business-179643161.html

Obama's Priorities

Obama vs. Romney 2012

Obama keeps claiming that Romney will stop what Obama's been doing for 4 years as it somehow that would be a BAD thing. How clueless is this guy?

Obama and the Catholic vote

You gotta give Obama credit for having the gall and nerve to court the Catholic vote at this point in time. I'd say he's got even more than Bill Clinton had. Takes a lot of chutzpah to try dragging Her to the gallows while at the same time asking for Her vote.

Democrats pink slip the Lord

The Democrats have apparently inserted God "back" into their platform, over the objections of delegates. But where they stand on HIM shouldn't even be a question at this point.

Obama's One-Way Wall of Separation

My impression of what President Obama thinks of the "wall of separation" between Church and State.

Obama and the Constitution

I loved the uproar by the liberals over John McNaughton's painting of President Obama and the burning Constitution. "Why, Barack Obama would NEVER burn the Constitution!!!!".

Maybe he wouldn't - it might prevent other forms of desecration.

To see McNaughton's fine artwork - see his website: http://www.mcnaughtonart.com/

Sometimes you just need a little Happy - by my 7-year old.

Dr. Williams reduces the cross to merely a "decoration"

From the Telegraph (UK) - Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, says wearin the cross is just "a decoration" and not central to Christianity.

Not surprising, considering his record.

Cardinal Wuerl throws some meat to the wolves

Restore DC Catholicism has all the details on Fr. Guarnizo's treatment at the hands of Cardinal Wuerl and his "minister of pro-gay niceness czar" Bishop Knestout:

We know the enemy outside, but what about the ones within?

Looks like the Bishops know full well who some of the enemies of the Church are outside the gates, but what to do about the ones within?

Another good priest gets Hammered

(A prior version of this cartoon had Cardinal Wuerl's rank as "Archbishop". Forgive me for my lack of attention.)

You knew it was going to happen. The Archdiocese of Washington is falling all over itself trying to "make nice" with another member of the Grand High Ultimate Protected Class. Another priest doing his job gets the Beetle Bailey treatment.

The Devil & Rick Santorum

The media's perspective. Screwtape himself couldn't do a better job of reporting on this!

Ash Wednesday Cartoon 2012

In observing our Lenten Fasting Obligations, most of us look for just how much wriggle room we have. Fr. Z has a good post on just what Da Rulez are:

"No - really - I meant 'and with your spirit'! "

The First Cut is the Deepest - and probably not the last...

To me, Obama's assault with his HHS mandate regarding contraception is just part of the opening act of his attack on religious freedom here in the States. He knows that if he can make this pig fly, that will open the door to even more interference from Big Brother. If he can violate religious freedom under the guise of "public good", what's to stop him from forcing all churches to marry same-sex couples? Or make the Church admit women to the priesthood?

Thankfully, our Protestant brethren, especially the Southern Baptists, recognize this as not just an assault on the Catholics, but an assault on ALL Christians.

Obama's Assault on Lady Liberty

If the government is allowed to get it's foot in the door on religious liberty, just think on what it will do next. It will kick the door in and start dictating to all the Churches that they MUST toe the government line on any number of issues (read: same-sex marriage).

Well, if Jesus could clear out the Temple...

...why won't the Church throw out the bad eggs? Nancy Pelosi once again thumbs her nose at the Church. At what point does the Church finally say "enough"? Is it because the American Bishops have been in bed so long with the Democrat party that they can't bring themselves to kick 'em to the curb? Could it be that finally, they're learning that the Party of Death includes the Church on it's List of Death?

Obama Democrats stick with their man against the Church

The Obamabot Catholics look like they'll go down with the Obama Ship in the battle against the Church. I think the cover has been blown off of their facade of claiming to be both good Catholics and good Obama supporters.

Go on over to the oxymoronic "Catholic Democrats" page and see the defense they put up: http://www.catholicdemocrats.org/index.php

Obama's Secular Vision for America

He's doing his level best to tear all of the Christian foundation out from this country. His efforts at "Payback" are in full swing. God help us all if he is somehow re-elected.

The Bishops are making noise about it, but time will tell on how committed they are to fighting this man.

Rick Santorum for President 2012

While it may put my millions and millions of government grants at risk, the Catholic Cartoon Blog hereby endorses Rick Santorum for President.

We need to restore decency and Americanism to the White House. Romney? He might be a decent man, but he's a liberal wolf in conservative sheep clothing. I have no confidence in what his potential Supreme Court picks would be. Gingrich? He's a classless individual and serial philanderer. His unlikability factor is up there with Hillary Clinton. Ron Paul? He needs to be the Federal Reserve Chairman. As many have stated, though, it doesn't matter whom the Republicans nominate - Obama has got to go.

Politically Correct Hymns! (Again)

Well, I'm at Mass yesterday and we're singing "Holy Holy Holy", when at the 3rd verse I got tripped up. I started singing "Though the eye of sinful man...". Oh, no no no, Mr. Patriarch, that was the wrong verse - you must now go through re-training. Please visit your parish representative of Offensive Hymn Committee to Rehab All Pronouns (also known by it's acronym of Oh Crap).

After that, my mind drifted a bit. Why don't we just re-write everything:

"Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty"by Reginald Heber, 1783-1826

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
(People who sleep late would be offended by this line)
Holy holy, holy, merciful and mighty!God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
(Did they approval from members of the New Orleans football team – or their fans?)

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
(Throwing things into the sea will upset the little fishies’ habitat!)

Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
(Drunks will fall when & where THEY want to, thank you very much)

Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.
(People with warts might read this line too quickly and become self-conscious)

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
(Kids who play Hide-&-Seek might be traumatized by this line)

Though the eye made blind by sin thy glory may not see,
(This is the “new”, “non-offensive” verse, but is this implying that all blind people are that way due to sin?)

Only Thou art holy; there is none beside

Thee,Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea.
(What about people aloft in the Space Station? Or Aliens?)

Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!

God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!

And even without these Offensive Alerts, what about the whole “Holy Holy Holy” part itself? What about those who harbor a phobia of Swiss cheese?

Obama's Anti-Faith Train gets derailed

Jay Anderson has a good write up on the Supreme Court's 9-0 slap down on the Obama administration's efforts to stomp a mudhole in the Free Exercise clause.

Where do you stand on Tebow?

Well, the atheists and God-haters suffered another setback this past weekend when Tim Tebow and the Broncos won their football game in stunning fashion over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Add to that group the Society of Women Abusers, of whom Ben Rothlisberger is one of their poster boys.

Most of the time sports are just, well, sports. Other times, as with Tim Tebow, it's a barometer of the culture. Ask a person how they feel about Tim Tebow and it will tell you alot about where they stand on many other issues. Those who like Tebow probably are sympathetic to the Christian faith, even if they're not necessarily church-goers. Additionally, they would probably agree that Hollywood is a cesspool and embrace traditional American values. Those who hate Tebow are more likely to resent traditional American values and probably embrace the creeping socialism of the Obama administration.

Let's have a quick snapshot:

Like Tebow? Abortion stops a beating heart.

Hate Tebow? Pro-choice all the way, baby!

Like Tebow? Wouldn't watch Bravo TV on a bet.

Hate Tebow? Think same-sex relations are ok!

Like Tebow? Proudly fly that American Flag!

Hate Tebow? Burning the flag is awesome!

Like Tebow? Sundays usually involve Church.

Hate Tebow? Sundays are for reading the NY Times.

Like Tebow? Obama is a communist.

Hate Tebow? Obama is wonderful!

Like Tebow? Fox News is where it's at.

Hate Tebow? MSNBC is your cup of de-caf coffee!

Like Tebow? Like the Catholic Cartoon Blog.

Hate Tebow? "Someone should shut down the Catholic Cartoon Blog!"

The list goes on and on...

As a father of two boys, it's refreshing to watch an athlete who loves God, is true to his convictions, isn't a womanizer/abuser (same thing), doesn't have 8 children from 4 different women, isn't out doing drugs after the game, doesn't drive drunk and kill people, and is good to his Momma.
