Another Swastika Classic
Irish Senator David Norris, the first openly homosexual politician elected in Ireland, has replayed the Nazi card, and compared Pope Benedict XVI to Hitler for the Catholic Church’s stand against homosexuality. Speaking of the Pope, Norris said he would refuse to take “moral instructions from a man with a swastika on his arms.”  His intellectual capabilities of arguing a point is inspirational, isn’t it? I like the histrionic tone used so eloquently with the swastika classic!
Doesn’t the senator have better things to do than to perseverate on the pope? What is it man, why are you so bitter?  Probably, because the Senator is an actively anti-Catholic, ”gay”,  and according to some reports has been identified as taking part in the controversial anti-Catholic Orange marches, refused to back down from his comments. He said that the teachings of the Catholic Church on homosexuality are “in line with the prejudices that included Hitler and Himmler”.Â
I often wonder,  why are so many non-catholics in the world obsessed with the Catholic church? What is this 
force that tries to bring Her to Her knees by any means possible? Of course, that has been the objective by so many for over 2,000 years, as She stills stands in all of Her glory!! I think there is something to be said for an institution that has been consistent in It’s teaching on morality for over 2,000, and I am confident that senator Norris, nor is anybody else for that matter, up to the task of bringing down The Church, nor will they ever be.

I sometimes think that what it is that compels naysayers to throw mud at the Church is their own consciences, knowing that a faithful member of the Church is what they should be. At that particular moment they simply happen to be in a state of rather extreme denial. For many of us, especially those not terribly skilled in apologetics, prayer is the best way to help these people: prayer that they will open their hearts and listen to God speaking softly to them, prayer that they will be reconciled with the Church and build the Body of Christ on earth.
Or maybe I’m just overly optimistic!

Not overly optimistic, but hopeful. Thanks for the comment.
