Questioning Obama's Christianity- by Santorum, the Catholic Church and everyone else with a conscience

A firestorm of self-righteous indignation has exploded from the Liberals who are defending Obama's Christianity against the comments of Rick Santorum.
And the Santorum camp explains the comment as not really attacking Obama's Christianity - per se. See all the videos here.

In my opinion, that was weak. Santorum should have stuck to his guns and attacked because, that was fair game. A president who claims to be a Christian but supports the most unchristian policies and activities can and should be called up to his inconsistency.

The Liberals will then come up with the objection that Jesus commanded Christians not to judge others. And that is where the distinction between judging the deeds vs. judging the intentions and circumstances come in.

No one can condemn the intentions because, only the doer knows why he commited or omitted something. Neither can circumstances be known fully; and these are critical as aggravating or extenuating conditions that can impune more culpability or guilt as well as acquit or excuse someone - as in the case of insanity. Those are the areas that no one can judge because, only God knows the complete picture.

However, there are actions, deeds that are observable and objective enough to be scrutinized vis-a-vis the Christian moral standards. And that, anyone can "judge" as in observe, comment, evaluate.

Given that distinction, it is clear that the entire Holy Roman Catholic Church has judged Obama's Christianity recently with his administration's mandate on Catholic organizations to provide contraceptive devices and medications through a law that he vigorously promoted - "Obamacare". Such a deed and those similar to it e.g. Obama's support of born-alive "abortions" or infanticide can be questioned, condemned and opposed. And yes, it is the most unchristian deed of all - to deny the primacy of conscience, to tell a person to dismiss the voice of God and to simply bow down to the idol of the government.

What kind of a Christian president will promote such an idolatry, such a violation in the most sacred forum where man is alone with his Maker and Judge. Obama's Christianity has been questioned by the cardinals, bishops and the entire bishops' conference of the USA weeks before Santorum made that remark. (Liberals fail to catch such subtle and fine accusations. But I digress.)

So, yes his Christianity can and should be questioned afterall, he claims to be one and is affecting the lives of a nation that is predominantly Christian.

What a way to say, "I love you back."

When I was growing up, my mom took me along whenever she drove around. During those rides, she told me about her life going all the way back as a young girl: what she did like popped her brother's zits and how she felt e.g. admiration towards her dad a lawyer who cleaned the sewer system around the house.

She's been long gone - for about 30 years. I missed saying goodbye to her when she died as I was across the world serving the Church. Yet, she lingers in my mind and heart all this time because, my kids look like her.

This morning, as I was feeding my 1 year old girl, I felt like feeding my mom when she was a baby. It's surreal but wonderful - like my mom coming back in a time machine and having me take care of her with the same commitment and sacrifice that she gave me. I now have a way to say, "I love you back."

Parenting and St. John Bosco's practice of the one on one meeting "Rendiconto"

I have 5 children: 12, 8, 7, 4 & 1 year olds. The 4 yr girl monopolizes my time as soon as I get home. She would cry if I didn't give her a piggy back or sit next to her to watch Barney. The problem is that I don't get a chance to spend more time with the others. So, I assigned a night for every child and took that child out for the night. I realized that the others wanted my attention as badly as the 4 year old. I can excuse myself from her saying, "It's not her night." She still insists but later gives in knowing that she has her own night.

This event is spent on Wendy's for a cheeseburger, Chucky Cheese's for games or Marshall's for new trousers depending on the interest of the child. But whatever it is, every child has a night for my full and complete attention.

It's a time to ask about things or better still encourage them to talk about themselves so I'll know the issues and problems. It also gives me a chance to affirm and guide them, encourage or correct them - privately "in camera caritatis". Last night, I told my 12 year old son that I will always be his father no matter how badly he messes up; God forbid but just in case.

St. John Bosco did this with his seminarians. It is called a "Rendiconto" or manifestation where the person is full candor bared his soul with all the concerns, aspirations, failures and successes.

Planned Parenthood deceives kids to masturbate or fornicate without guilt

It case someone does not know, it is not OK to masturbate. It is a serious sin - killing the soul. It also destroys a persons character by stunting him into an addictive cycle of self gratification - a bad habit. It ruins the personality hence the term "jerk" by focusing the individual into himself instead of relating to others.
