Stupidity on Steroids: Newsweek Nitwit Claims Obama Is More Catholic Than the Pope

It figures it's a Kennedy who authored this bilge. A complete embarrassment exemplifying why nobody reads this magazine any longer.

Seriously, the most radical pro-abortion president ever is somehow more in tune with Catholics than the Pope?

The mind boggles.

Tomorrow Pope Benedict XVI and President Barack Obama meet for the first time, an affair much anticipated and in some circles frowned upon by American Catholics in the wake of Obama's controversial Notre Dame commencement speech in May. Conservatives in the church denounced Obama's appearance as a nod by the premier Catholic university to a conciliatory politics that heralds the start of a slippery moral slope.

In truth, though, Obama's pragmatic approach to divisive policy (his notion that we should acknowledge the good faith underlying opposing viewpoints) and his social-justice agenda reflect the views of American Catholic laity much more closely than those vocal bishops and pro-life activists. When Obama meets the pope tomorrow, they'll politely disagree about reproductive freedoms and homosexuality, but Catholics back home won't care, because they know Obama's on their side. In fact, Obama's agenda is closer to their views than even the pope's.

Read the rest. Mind-blowing stupidity to say the least.
