President Barack Obama, whose religious leanings and Christian credentials have long been matters of speculation, claims to be a big fan of outspoken Catholic Pope Francis.
But according to numerous reports, the Obama Administration is hatching a plan to score points with its liberal base by insulting and embarrassing Francis when he visits the White House September 23.
The reported guest list will include a pro-abortion nun, a gay Episcopal bishop, a transvestite male, and the former chair of the Transgender Caucus of Dignity USA.
Aaron Ledesma, a gay Catholic, said he considered it a “miracle” that he was invited to the event. But it’s looking more like politics than divine intervention.
While Francis is seen as a more liberal-leaning and accepting pontiff than some of his predecessors, American Catholics see Obama’s move as a brazen attempt to ruffle the pope’s feathers.
The gesture is “beyond the bozo Soviet nonsense that Pope John Paul II had to put up with,” according to an op-ed produced by Catholic Vote, a group that seeks to mobilize politically active Catholics.
Obama’s relationship with the Catholic Church has a shaky past, and there are several areas of deep disagreement.
The pope’s U.S. visit is focused on family issues, and while Francis has emphasized compassion and tolerance for gays and lesbians, he’s also affirmed the church’s opposition to same-sex marriages – putting him at odds with Obama.
In the past, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops opposed legislation over provisions on coverage for abortions and birth control. Hundreds of Catholic groups and employers sued the Obama administration over the law, claiming it infringes on religious freedom.
The pope’s brief visit to the White House is part of his highly anticipated trip to the U.S. and Cuba.

Heck, why not, That’s all he’s done for seven years now, is insult and embarrass everyone and everything he’s in contact with.
Hey you’re so right! The man has no shame!
This Muslim-Marxist jihadist, Devil’s Advocate is anti-Christ who it is beginning to look as though he could be the Anti-Christ! Baa, baa, baa, we want Obaa-baa-ma bleat the sheeple that support this demonic psychopath as they are being sheared and are too stupid and caught up in their hedonistic life-styles to realize that this is what is happening!
Read the ” LEFT BEHIND SERIES” of books taken from the bible started out as religious books but became best sellers written a long time ago but have been reproduced because of public demand things that are happening now are in those books & because of that fact the rest could become fact to,we as a country needs to change before that happens.
Suddenly people are aware of this lying fraud?? He’s the worst excuse from a President in history.
Actually I don’t think much of Pope Francis and I’m a Catholic. He swings awfully far left and Popes are only considered infallible when it comes to church teachings not politics. Back during WWII Pope Pius XII was a Nazi supporter by default because he never spoke out against Hitler.

Well, Obama is Obama – he is such a winner- not! No manners….
the pope should act like obama did not exist
That would put him in denial, as many right wing are, in denial.
you exposes who you are
I don’t think thats true, that President Obama is NOT trying to insult the Pope. I think he is trying to open up dialog on human reality.
THANK YOU ALICIA SALINAS…..TOTALLY AGREE!!
“Human reality” is that sin exists. When people make a mockery of God’s law and publicly flaunt their rebellion, whether it be heterosexual sex without marriage, adultery with a married person, or “gay” sex of any sort, they are advertising the fact that they gave in to the temptation to sin, and need to repent. “Dialog on human reality” to awaken people to this fact, instead of all the propaganda attempting to legitimize what God has forbidden, is very much needed.
RIGHTLY SAID cjbroza!!
The only problem with your response is that you are defending what is perceived to be the only sin, but by you condemning people for their sins, you are just as much a sinner. Homosexuality is not something that just arose overnight, it has been around for centuries as have adulterers. How many in your congregation have been remarried, how many have committed sin by lusting. This world is not a perfect world, and that is the reason Jesus Christ died for the forgiveness of our sins. When judgement days come you will be all by yourself in front of the great creator and He will judge us. Until then He would like for us to follow what He says through His son in Luke 10:37. Love your neighbor.
Do you know one PURE person without sin in this world? They don’t exist, those that pretend usually have hate in their heart, and are prejudiced on opinion.
see them all the time?within the term of birth” and don’t know their name yet” used to be called jesus everyone’s been there! I would explain, but it’s a long missing part of the history of mankind and is very complicated, anyway my sin is Mark which is the carrier of who? as is each to his or her own naming and leaves history a memory of family (tree) of given point in time or present and can be counted of or on.I will leave it at that?knowing the truth can cause power to destroy a person and family you don’t want to know yet? a man Quoted; once if you can keep it! hope this help’ your Question?
Are your speaking of the pure with nothing but love in the heart, or are you speaking of the christian with hate embedded.
More total liberal bull droppings!!
“liberal bull dropping” are so much better then lies, hate and discrimination dropping.
Everything is in God’s ‘divine plan.’ God in Christ Jesus came for sinners, not the righteous.
In today’s Sept 17 gospel, in Luke 7:36-50, Jesus loves all of us, and to those who are repentant sinners, He forgives, and may we live in His Spirit and see His fullness in us, as the fullness of the Deity in bodily form, for He is above all authority:
“A certain Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him,
and he entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at table.
Now there was a sinful woman in the city
who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee.
Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment,
she stood behind him at his feet weeping
and began to bathe his feet with her tears.
Then she wiped them with her hair,
kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment.
When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself,
“If this man were a prophet,
he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him,
that she is a sinner.”
Jesus said to him in reply,
“Simon, I have something to say to you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
“Two people were in debt to a certain creditor;
one owed five hundred days’ wages and the other owed fifty.
Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both.
Which of them will love him more?”
Simon said in reply,
“The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven.”
He said to him, “You have judged rightly.”
Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon,
“Do you see this woman?
When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet,
but she has bathed them with her tears
and wiped them with her hair.
You did not give me a kiss,
but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered.
You did not anoint my head with oil,
but she anointed my feet with ointment.
So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven;
hence, she has shown great love.
But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
The others at table said to themselves,
“Who is this who even forgives sins?”
But he said to the woman,
“Your faith has saved you; go in peace.””
Blessings that all may see the light of truth and live in God’s grace, where Pope Francis is God’s messenger of truth and eternal mercy and love of God.
I think you are right who are those nut cases that keep at obama
No, sorry he’s just playing politics and going against all formal rules of etiquette and decorum used in state events. Very poor taste on the part of Obama. If he would like to have a meeting with him to discuss modern perversion, that’s fine but this move is unacceptable in a setting such as this.
“Modern perversions.” Because you call it modern. Gays have been around longer then social security. I wouldn’t call social security modern. When an individual loves one another, there is nothing perversive about that. What they do in their bedroom is none of our business, A lot of hetro’s do the same. But it;s ALL about discrimination of others that are different.
He is a piece of work needs to be removed from office.
I could not agree with you more. He should NVER have been elected, but he did! He should have been removed from office, but he was not! I am ashamed of this government and its’ opinion of the American People! I think it is imperative, That this man be IMPEACHED NOW, before the next election takes place!
but he WAS elected..remember that! your oppinion doesn’t matter,in the grand scheme !
he was elected illegally.
That was Bush, remember brother Bush and Florida.
I agree but it will not happen because you have the same problem as with Clinton ,not enough of enough majority in senate but if you had some more republican senators than it would work
Can you imagine if President Obama had not been elected and reelected, the spiral direction that we were headed would have been impossible to overcome. If Trump and his ilk think this world sucks now, he would have probably been standing at the food line with the rest of us. President did a fine job in keeping us afloat, and had he had decent people working with him, instead of greedy self interest people, this world would be even greater then it is now.
WHAT do you expect from a marxist idiot with no common sense.i will be suprised if his bitch dosen’t try to kiss the pope.
That is because they are so tacky. Like she tried to hug the Queen or like Obama bowing before all his Muslime buddies. I expect them to trash the WH like the Clintons did before they leave the WH, hopefully by force if necessary.
President Obama is a JOKE.!
Were Obama a moslem, (Ahem!) and if he had delivered an equivalent insult like he just gave to the Pope to the Grand Mufti of Earth, or the biggest, fattest, nastiest ayatollah of all islam, He would be condemned to death and the duty to waste him would then fall on every moslem, anywhere, to do the deed.
Luckily for Obama, Christians are not moslems.
And with as much hate as there is in some that call themselves christians heart, they really aren’t Christian by God laws.
The Pope has the Lord for all the support he needs against Evil when he meets with Obama. He, the Pope, will not have his feathers ruffled. He will stand for what most Americans know to be Truth. May God Bless America and our Pope and may our president have a conversion and repent for sins against our God.
it is sooooooo bad Republicans who did not vote, put ozamma in office. non voting (R) can blame them selves for having NO guts to vote for the other guy-John RINO McCain or Mitt Romney.
WHEN YOU DON’T VOTE, YOU VOTE FOR THE OTHER GUY.
We have taught our children so much in the past 10 years. That you can get away with murder…O>J> Tony Blake……. Not to mention you can become President of the United States… if you have enough Money and BS… You do not have to have respect for our Military men and woman, don’t have to respect our Flag. {to not have to place your Right hand over your heart} you can lie to the world and get away with it. You do not have to have respect for anyones Religion. or even show a legal Birth Certificate?????????????? to run for office.. God, Please watch over this World and our Children
There is more than one (1) woman in the military. You meant wom E n (which is plural).
But Trump isn’t president yet, why are you talking about him as if he is!
because he will be!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
You do have high hopes, it’s not going to happen. He has NO SUBSTANCE, little rich boy, has very little common sense. You are just the horse following the carrot.
The Obamanation and desolation will continue until Jesus returns.
What!!?? Christian Obama?
That’s the title to this article? Just what are they serving in the editorial room of this web site?
His Holyness is coming to the U.S of A. to get insulted by this guy?
Your Holiness, leader of Billions, please reconsider your visit to our United States of America. Instead of going to the White house, visit the “Catholic People”, who not only respect and believe in you, but understand you as the leader you are of billions of God loving people.
Do not go to the White House to be rediculed, disrespected, and insulted, by a non believer, a mooselim, lying misfit, elected by fraud and deceitful tactics, who will not Bow to you, but to Saudi kings of his faith.
You do not need to strengthen your position in this world or to give any credence to our so called misfit leadership of our Country!
Lord, hear my prayer!
I am not a big fan of this Pope, he is too Liberal for me, but you are right. He will be the bigger man in the end and Obama will just show his stripes once again.
I hope this isn’t the only stop in the Pope’s visit, so that he will see we are not all like this trash in the WH.
You are right, Obama is the devil Muslim birth from ‘hell Arabia, Middle East L’ Isis (Obama, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait) are slaughtering Christians and their aim is to put all the ‘Europe under the rule of the Saudis with the ‘forced migration. Obama goes on trial for crimes against ‘humanity. In Europe all peoples are with Putin, if the US does not hunt Muslims from the White House the ‘Europe will go with Putin
Its time to take the garbage out of the WH, obama, muslim selling us out big-time people please wake up, liberalism, ( communism, liberalism, no difference ) , he is following the elites agenda to the tee, collapse America, isis our C I A in action, Turing our backs on Israel and backing iran, unbelievable, never though i would have witnessed what is going on in this country in my life time, its prophecy that America would fall from within, and obama is only the first stage on many to come, God bless this country.
“O’ Holy One please do not beneath yourself to our lying, deceitful, wrongful opinionated President of these Un-United States of America. My expectation of your meeting with him will only result in him trying to embarrass the Christian’s of the World as he is nothing short of a Muslim believing Marxist. He should have been impeached long ago
I think the Pope should get on his plane and leave America without even acknowledging odumbo. As we all know, odumbo hates to be ignored.
I really feel that the Republicans are to blame for Obama becoming President ! Many thinking Americans who checked out Romney and his past were rightfully afraid of him because of his stance to end safe jobs and clean water and air for us. The EPA and OSHA have proved that they provide a safer workplace and reduce pollution. If the Republicans hope to take back the White House I hope that they can see how they failed so bad that someone like Obama could be elected.
Considering all of the farce in high positions…I think that the Pope KNOWS VERY WELL
that O will do such a thing…and it is scripted….REMEMBER IT IS ALL IN THE NAME
OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING and CREATING THE ILLUSION OF HEALTHY DIALOGUE.
Top CIA Official Confirms Our Suspicions about Obama
It’s not that the liberal media doesn’t want to admit it’s true…it’s that they can’t admit it’s true.
The truth?
President Barack Hussein Obama was placed into office as a catalyst for the rise of Islam here in the United States.
Whether or not that’s going to happen during his Presidency or not remains to be seen. In fact you could argue it won’t happen for sometime…Obama’s just laying the groundwork for the eventual Muslim take over.
But the one thing you can’t do is say it isn’t happening.
That’s what Clare Lopez, a top level official with the CIA and the national intelligence community has let slip.
In a story broken by WND.com, Lopez says Obama has done a great deal to weaken America on the global level, priming us for an eventual take over by Sharia extremists.
Though she didn’t say this on the record, there are several members of congress who relayed her off-the-record message to be exactly that.
Ultimately she says with Obama leading the country we’ve essentially “switched sides” when it comes to the war on terror.
Which make sense. If the war on terror is focused on combatting radical Islam, Obama would naturally need to switch sides to ensure the rise of Islam here at home.
WND writes:
She said the global war on terror had been an effort to “stay free of Shariah,” or repressive Islamic law, until the Obama administration began siding with such jihadist groups as the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates.
Why the switch?
Lopez explained, when the so-called Arab Spring appeared in late 2010, “It was time to bring down the secular Muslim rulers who did not enforce Islamic law. And America helped.”
And why would Obama want to do that?
As she told WND earlier this month, Lopez believed the Muslim Brotherhood has thoroughly infiltrated the Obama administration and other branches of the federal government.
She also came to the conclusion Obama had essentially the same goals in the Mideast as the late Osama bin Laden: “to remove American power and influence, including military forces, from Islamic lands.”
That’s scary stuff.
Remember too this is happening at a policy level.
That means if you’re able to observe this objectively and to peer into the history of Obama’s legislation and see how it’s affected our stance on terrorism and not know what the primary and personal reasons behind these actions are, it’s really, really scary.
There’s absolutely no doubt Obama is doing his darnedest to ensure the rise of Islam here in the U.S. is allowed to continue unimpeded.
If it weren’t the case then we would would be able to say with confidence he’s doing everything he can to stop the growth of ISIS, is working against Iran getting nuclear weapons, and has purged his cabinet of those friendly to Islam.
Which we know he hasn’t.
Does what Lopez said unnerve you?
Chuck Eubanks
Are there no checks and balances to stop him from his treasonous agenda?! Or is polling America on face book the only way to stop him?!? If there are people in our government who know the truth then why haven’t they implimented action against it? I for one am so tired of seeing this kind of journalism, that informs the public of wrong doing on the part of our elected officials and wants our opinion about it. Of coarse it angers us, of coarse we want it stopped. However what is the effectiveness of this testing the people’s stance on terany?! It’s like the wife filming the husband being attacked by a bear. Shouldn’t she put down the camera and try to help her pour husband?! Report some real action being taken to stop the madness that is emanating from the White House, and see the reaction of the public on that. Well, that’s my two cents, spend it wisely.
I knew what he was the first time he run and at that time I said we are in for a hell of a ride.
Larry B.
Larry B- you speak the truth! It’s refreshing to see somebody knows what’s going on and isn’t fooled by the charade in the White House. To “somebody who cares”
people are not being haters, they are rightly upset to see what should be our leader is in fact on the side of the enemy, does not have a legal birth certificate, and should have been impeached years ago.
From what I read about Clare she has been a fear monger way before President Obama was elected.
I’ve just read through responses and it saddens me deeply at the ignorance of most of you. It’s obvious that you are weak and persuaded by idle chit-chat, and not enough knowledge and common sense to perceive what’s truly at hand here. My comment to the haters is that that day will come when you will be judged by God Almighty Himself…for those that stand and judge another will also be judged…and I pray you have your house in order when your day comes. If you want to do something constructive, pray and unite and create more harmony in this mixed up world of ours!!
I like your opinion.
Yes, I also like your comments.
Just one comment though – as a life-long atheist, I would like to ask most contributors here to JUDGE THEMSELVES as to how Christian they are behaving. Hate is not a Christian ethic.
Holding a contrary opinion can lead to healthy debate and, often, an understanding of why the other person has a different view, but in order for that to happen, one must have ab open mind and LISTEN.
Wait to you see which way he will bow to the Pope.
Mr. Obama knows exactly what he’s doing! Didn’t he tell us he was going to “. . . fundamentally change America.”? Yes, he MIGHT be an anti-Christ, or doing the Lord’s appointed work to “hasten” – as we see time – the Apocalypse. Time will show Israel to be w/o Earthly allies, and their ONLY hope will be in The One they’ve pierced. The time of the Gentiles isn’t here YET, but it IS just around the corner. The great falling away has started within the church too. The acceptance by many in the church of abortion, election of leaders who show NO morals or even feign a faith in GOD, and of course there’s the embracing of the homosexual agenda, persecution of Christians for THEIR faith but NO mention of that same stance by the Muslim faith. In fact, Mr. Obama said it should be wrong to make fun of, jest about, etc., the prophet Mohammed and his teachings, all the while allowing that very thing to happen to Christians – ON HIS WATCH.
The Jesuits should perform an exorcism at the Whitehouse prior to the Pope setting foot there.
nothing suprises me. The president is an a-hole and the country knows it.
Being on the president guard team years ago, I know that Obama will treat the Pope as a guest to America politely. I am not an Obama fan, but I still support him in office. This is the American system. He took the oath to protect America and he is doing his job. The Pope knows that America is full of sin in many actions of corruption in government down to the individual person who is involved in sin. Presenting him of individuals in the white house is just a matter of proving to him that we in Americe are very deep in sin. This only goes for the ones living in sin by choice, not those born different to us by gender. God bless the Pope and America
thank you
All rubbish.Look at ownself filled to brim with sins and worry with what face shall stand in HIS court.Prey to be all time in HIS attendance till the last breath without loosing time any more.We the serf not at all mighty than HIM to set the things right.Leave it to HIM and just pay obescience to HIS will.
So, you are implying that gay, transvestite, and trans-gender people are an insult? Shows where your mind is! As to the pro-abortion nun, I’m sure that Pope Francis is well aware of such members of his church and will treat all of these people just as Jesus would treat them. That’s a far site better than the pseudo-religious right would treat them! It would not surprise me if the Pope had foreknowledge of these visitors and had either asked for or agreed to them being there. He is a wise man. Your reporter is not, in my opinion.
I like your opinion.
I say “WONDERFUAL” the Pope needs to be insulted since he is the leader of the most evil persecuting religion the world has every know!
