Cardinal James Francis Stafford, head of the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See, on election of Obama: 'America suffered a cultural earthquake'
Topics: Political News and commentariesCriticizing Obama as "aggressive, disruptive and apocalyptic," Cardinal James Francis Stafford, head of the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See, delivered a lecture on Thursday saying that the future under President-elect Obama will echo Jesus' agony in Gethsemane; and he didn't stop with just that comment, he went on to make it clear that he feels that Obama's election is essentially an exercise in cultural suicide (my words not his):
Cardinal Stafford said on Election Day "America suffered a cultural earthquake." The cardinal argued that President-elect Obama had campaigned on an "extremist anti-life platform" and predicted that the near future would be a time of trial. "If 1968 was the year of America's 'suicide attempt,' 2008 is the year of America's exhaustion," he said, contrasting the year of Humane Vitae's promulgation with this election year. "For the next few years, Gethsemane will not be marginal. We will know that garden," Cardinal Stafford told his audience. Catholics who weep the "hot, angry tears of betrayal" should try to identify with Jesus, who during his agony in the garden was "sick because of love." The cardinal attributed America's decline to the Supreme Court's decisions such as the 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, which imposed permissive abortion laws nationwide. "Its scrupulous meanness has had catastrophic effects upon the unity and integrity of the American republic," Cardinal Stafford commented, according to The Tower.Related video showing clearly that Obama is the most anti-life president America has ever had:
The election is over, Obama won, life lost. Where do we go from here?
