No Dinner for Obama - October 18

NO DINNER FOR OBAMA

If you are reading this website, YOU are called to take action NOW to defend the faith and our religious liberty.

As scandalous as it is, we have confirmed that Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, current president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and president of the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation, has personally invited President Barack Obama to attend the Foundation’s annual dinner on October 18 in New York City. This dinner is a showcase for politicians, and will give Obama the opportunity for numerous photo-ops with the cardinal and an opportunity to schmooze influential Catholics.

THIS INVITATION GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF GOOD FELLOWSHIP WITH A PRESIDENT WHOSE ACTIONS AND POLICIES ARE NO LESS HOSTILE THAN THOSE OF THE ROMAN EMPEROR DECIUS, WHO TRIED TO ROOT OUT THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION BY ISSUING AN EDICT ORDERING ALL CITIZENS TO WORSHIP THE STATE GODS OR FACE DIRE CONSEQUENCES.

Cardinal Dolan’s invitation to Obama is an outrage. OBAMA IS THE MOST PRO-ABORTION AND ANTI-CATHOLIC PRESIDENT IN U.S. HISTORY. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS BEING FORCED TO SUE THIS ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE IT IS VIOLATING OUR CONSTITUIONALLY-GUARANTEED RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. How confusing this invitation must be, not only to Catholics but especially our non-Catholic brothers and sisters!

We need to mount a nationwide campaign calling upon all of the bishops in the United States to convince Cardinal Dolan to rescind his invitation to Obama. We need YOUR HELP TODAY to make this happen.

Please print out the NO DINNER FOR OBAMA APPEAL CARD on this website. Then distribute the cards to family and friends, and ask everyone you know to write their local Bishop’s name on the card and put the appeal card in the collection basket at Mass every Sunday from now to October 18. If we work together, by putting the cards in the collection baskets and praying … we can make a difference.

The future of the Catholic Church in America is on the line. Will YOU be counted among those who stood up to protect our Church at her time of greatest need?

I strongly urge Cardinal Timothy Dolan to not invite President Obama to the Al Smith Dinner. This is scandal. If the Cardinal wants to minister to Obama it should be done in private, not make it a photo-op.

This is like flirting with the enemy even if he is President.

This organization (ALL), its leadership and the people who subscribe to this skewed thinking are truly lost in their own dillusion. You see only what you want to see around you while disregarding the remaining 99% of reality. Then you cloak yourself in scripture and "the might of God" as justification for your blind, deaf and dumb view of reality. You're a real piece of work. I BELIEVE that God simultaneously laughs at your misguided folly while weeping at the loss of your logically reasoning - a precious gift he gave us all but you have squandered on small mindedness. I wish you Gods blessing but fear you'll just twist it with your anger and hate.

The Democrat Party is the party of death, plain and simple. So many Catholics, even those calling themselves pro-life, still vote Democrat. It looks like a sickness, like a cult. I believe that no matter how much the Democrat Party does to bring down the Church, killing millions of babies as it always has believed in, promoting contraception and gay marriage, many Catholics, including Priests and Bishops and Cardinals, will still vote Democrat. Tell me that is not a cult. The Democrat Party is their religion. If I was forced to wager who Cardinal Dolan was going to vote for, I would have to say President Obama. That is sad, and serious, and frightening.

Mark 2: 15-17 While he was at table in [Levi's] house, many tax collectors and sinners sat with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him. Some scribes who were Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors and said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” Jesus heard this and said to them [that], “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” Cardinal Dolan is behaving civilly. It seems that he wants to live by the words of that guy who said we should love our enemies and do good to those that hate us. Nobody has any doubts where Cardinal Dolan stands on this issue. It is shameful that you're trying to make this into a scandal.

Cardinal Dolan, Cardinal O'Connor would never have behaved as you do, lauding Joe Biden's Catholicism and pandering to those who are trying to destroy the Catholic Church. Jesus never publicly praised Judas. You're just adding fuel to the fire of Catholics who support Obama. Please be our leader in faith rather than the Catholic spokesperson for scandal. If you care so much about public opinion, go do something else but don't be a leader in the Catholic Church.

It's called," shaking hands with one hand of Obama while he stabs you deeply in the back with the other". I'll never understand ANY support for this guy. Mind boggling. This will hurt a hurting church.
