We all know that Obama’s relationship with religious liberty is rockier than Kim Kardashian with…well whoever.
CNS reports:
The U.S. State Department removed the sections covering religious freedom from the Country Reports on Human Rights that it released on May 24, three months past the statutory deadline Congress set for the release of these reports.
The new human rights reports–purged of the sections that discuss the status of religious freedom in each of the countries covered–are also the human rights reports that include the period that covered the Arab Spring and its aftermath.
Thus, the reports do not provide in-depth coverage of what has happened to Christians and other religious minorities in predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East that saw the rise of revolutionary movements in 2011 in which Islamist forces played an instrumental role.
For the first time ever, the State Department simply eliminated the section of religious freedom in its reports covering 2011 and instead referred the public to the 2010 International Religious Freedom Report – a full two years behind the times – or to the annual report of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), which was released last September and covers events in 2010 but not 2011.
Ignore it and it goes away, huh?

Obama is a disgrace. Has been since day one.

O/T but I counted 4 counter-protesters in Philly today. I LOLed at the "Sisters should be in the College of Cardinals Sign".

Now, why would someone condone such practices?
Hmmm……? Couldn't be? Nah!

Well, justice could begin with the church. A man faces prison for exposing a church "miracle" and the money stopped flowing from the deceived. There is a petition calling on Catholic Church in India to drop complaints against Sanal Edamuruku over exposure of the "miracle".

I have no idea about the circumstance to which you refer but it does not justify what has been exposed in this post. That being said, it is the obligation
of the Catholic hierarchy to pursue truth in all things. Many of us have seen
priests and bishops willing to to do other things. Such is a disgrace and
destroys faith.

My friend, he's not ignoring it. It's part of his bigger picture, step number xxxx in destroying all that is good. Pam
