First we had to endure months and months of carefully constructed messianic imagery of Barack Obama. That was bad.
Then we had Obama thumbing his nose at faithful Catholics and the unborn with the assistance of the a turncoat and sycophantic university administration, accepting honors with his disingenuous speech from a leading “catholic” institution. That was worse.
Just last week we had to endure Kathleen Kennedy-Townsend suggesting that the Pope could learn a thing or two on how to be a good Catholic from the most pro-abortion (and pro infanticide) president ever. That was worser.
But this might be the straw that broke the little nativity scene camel’s back. From Redstate:
Felix Sanchez, the Chief Executive Officer of TerraCom, a government and public relations firm in Washington, DC and Chairman of the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts has decided that Sotomayor is the second coming of the Virgin Mary. Sanchez has updated his Twitter feed (screencap here, in case it disappears from Twitter) to use a Photoshopped image of Mary with Sotomayor’s face.
It might be me, but I am beginning to think that this administration and Democrats in general do not take Catholics seriously.

Most "Catholics" don't take themselves or their religion seriously so why should anyone else? Just sayn'….

It's also somewhat insulting to the Latino community, by lumping them all into one category. Sotomayor is not Mexican, her parents are from Puerto Rico (which would already make them Americans, by the way). If a white guy did this, we'd never hear the end of it.

Sigh.
That's just plain wrong.

Speaking as a Catholic American woman of Mexican heritage, I find the politicization of this sacred image revolting.

Amen to all of the above — and Our Blessed Mother is a lot prettier!

Adriennne, you nailed it, if we don't cause a row when Our Lady of Guadalupe is blasphemed, then why should non-Catholics care?

Hillary wants to know who painted it!
July 15, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Wow. That's seriously offensive.
July 15, 2009 at 11:44 pm
That is sick. That is evil. Sotomayor flys in the face in everything Our Lady of Guadalupe stands for. Our Lady came and stopped adult and child human sacrifice in Mexico. Sotomayor believes that unborn children should be sacrificed and destroyed if the mother choses to through abortion. I think it'd be a better portrayal to superimpose Sotomayor's head onto the ancient Hummingbird Wizard!! (Yeah, I do!)

This is just bad.
Aussie what makes you think Sotomayor believes unborn children should be sacrificed? She has never stated anything of the sort. And she SUPPORTED the anti-abortion Mexico City policy, favoring the pro-life group "Americans United for Life".
So, unless you have some hidden supernatural knowledge the rest of uss don't (and as an Aussie, I would sincerely doubt you do) you might remember a little thing we call the 10 commandments and stop bearing false witness against your immortal soul.

Does anyone have an e-mail address for Mrs. Sotomayor, this needs to stop NOW.
