I know people sleep with their enemies, but I draw the line on helping the enemy slit my throat.

He has been hyping stories of religious persecution for years.

=====CATHOLIC PERSECUTION========

In the last three months..

1) The Bishop of Belize has gone onto the mass media of Belize to advocate criminalization of Gay persons. So much for freedom of expression.

2) The Catholic Archbishops Conference of Nigeria advocated in the mass media in Nigeria and the Vatican for legislation to jail persons witnessing a same sex marriage ceremony to 10 years in prison (aka, “jail the Episcopalians bill”), and mandates forming the Gay Discussion Group of Lagos result in 10 years in Nigerian prisons. So much for freedom of religion, press, association, and due process.

3) Cardinal Sarah of Guinea and Cardinal Turkson of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace have both condemened calls for an end to discrimination against Gays and have questioned whether Gay persons are human rights.

4) The spokesperson for the Roman Catholic Church in Albania, has issued a call for the first LGBT protest in Albania to be banned. So much for freedom of speech, protest, petition, and expression.

I could go on for days. Zambia’s Catholic represnetative on the Zambian “Christian” lobbying group also defended criminalization of Gay Persons. Catholic groups in India are agitating publically for the recriminalization of being Gay in India (as may well happen). In the USA, quasi-official-catholic groups like C-FAM (who has a Msgr. on their board) and Vatican UN Representative Abp. Tomassi has been leading the charge against any protections (even from violence) against Gay persons.

There is one Catholic Church. Not a separate one in the USA and in Nigeria. One Catechism. One doctrine.

So, I’d love to ask Robert George to opine on the impact of official statements of the Nigerian Roman Catholic Church regarding religious freedom. And to describe his opinon of the recent actions advocated by the Church in Nigeria, Albania, India, Zambia, Belize and at the UN on basic freedoms of speech, religion, press, petition, expression, association, and protest. And how that persecution compares to the persecution that the Catholic politicians in the USA are claiming against themselves.

Staggering hypocrisy by the Catholic Church. Advocating extreme persecution where they can ‘get away’ with it, claiming persecution in the USA without justification.

=======RUSSIAN ORTHODOX PERSECUTION====

As the Russian Orhodox Church yesterday posted a call for vigalantism and combat against peaceful LGBT protesters, how does that compare with the persecution that you are discussing.

=======ANGLICAN PERSECUTION==========

See Nigeria discussion above under Catholic. The Anglican Church of Nigeria also supports the same law. The Anglican Church of Nigeria has been pushing this type of law for the last 5 years. Why does throwing someone in jail for 14 years for the ‘crime’ of having a private marriage ceremony not constitute greater persecution than the examples of persecution you bring up today in the USA?

God, I’d love to be a questioner on this commission. I’d have a friggin field day.
