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 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:

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?
