DeSales University Hosts Bill Donohue’s Standard Boilerplate Catholic Fascist Speech to Rounds of Applause from a Grateful Rich White Catholic Audience

DeSales Universtiy - Home of the (???) Bulldogs

Life time employment for oligarchic Plutocratic tools like Bill Donohue and Wayne LaPierre as spokespeople for the Catholic Fascist Movement in America to take over the government and reduce all minorities and non-Catholics to slavery.

Talking to a audience of well healed Catholic White People at DeSales University just outside Allentown Pa, Donohue pandered his standard fare of coded hate to the African American President Obama to tremendous applause.

It should be remembered that the people who can afford tuition to private elite Catholic colleges are the people zygoted, bred, wed and dead in the affluent burbs and seek that their’s is the only point of view possible in the best of all possible pampered trust funded worlds.

Apparently the Secularists have a secularist university and or academy or old Bill is in his usual blacked out state on his way from Rosey O’Grady’s Saloon in midtown Manhattan. The reference to “Academy” below is I think purely Donohue-style Delusional.

"It's undeniably true that the administration as a whole is not Catholic-friendly," Donahue said. "They are die-hard secularists. I think [Obama] is a secularist like so many people where he came from, the academy."

Of course there were rounds of applause in the sea of white faces regarding women not having the right to an abortion, a medical procedure, in places like Mississippi and North Dakota etc.

"I think we're winning on abortion but the [same-sex] marriage issue is much more difficult,"

The American Catholic Church has already missed the boat completely on the equal marriage civil rights thing. 

But then equal marriage rights will be a direct challenge to the need for celibacy in the their Catholic clergy ranks which have for centuries been the place to put your odd son in the family in a safe lifetime meal ticket job, just like Bill's job. If your odd son or daughter (gay) can marry and make a life for himself or herself outside of the Church, who needs the church in this new modern day sexual equation. Two's company, three is a crowd.

But I think the real heart of the American Catholic coded mission statement and its commitment to the political right is to the abolition of the U.S. Constitution and comes in Bill Donohue’s remark:

"I don't want to dialogue. I want to win."

Compromise never on the road to the brave new Catholic America. (the road to hell?)

New Roman Missal Discounts Jesus’ Mission

Criticism of the new white bread Roman Missal is starting to make the rounds of the Christian blogosphere.

New Roman Missal: Archaic, elitist, obscure, awkward and sexist

...However, the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) in Ireland has objected to the translation and called for the new edition to be postponed for five years for more consultation.

The ACP argues that a word-for-word translation “demonstrates a lack of awareness of the insights gained from linguistics and anthropology during the past 100 years.”

A statement from the association said, “The ACP is gravely concerned that this literal translation from Latin has produced texts that are archaic, elitist and obscure and not in keeping with the natural rhythm, cadence and syntax of the English language.”

Further, it said the new text was unfair to females.

“We fear that the continued use of sexist language with its use of man, men and brothers as generic terms will alienate some women and men,” it said.

The association also raised the issue of theological accuracy in the new missal in which the Eucharistic prayers state that Jesus Christ died “for many” rather than “for all.”

“A central teaching of the Christian Churches is that Jesus died for all people. This meaning is conveyed in the current translation of the Latin words of consecration over the chalice, pro vobis et pro multis. The phrase is translated for you and for all in the current missal. The new text opts for the more literal translation, for you and for many. In English, the word ‘many’ contrasts with the word ‘few,’ so people may be led to ask, are there some for whom Jesus did not die?” added the statement.

Some Australian priests have called for a boycott of the new translation. However Fr Peter Williams, executive secretary Australian Catholic Bishops Conference Liturgy Commission said to boycott the translation was “opening the doors to liturgical anarchy.”...

So Jesus only died for “many” and not “all”. Died only for guys and not the chicks? Only Europeans? Defintely not the Protestants or Cultural Christians. Etc.

That’s leaves ninety percent of humanity left out of the Roman god Jesus’ magic earth mission. Oh well. More Fairytale Christianity I fear? Maybe Jesus’ half brothers of Hercules and Apollo finished their missions with better sales numbers.

They, the Romans, wrote the real Jesus out of that religion a long time ago in the fourth century C.E..

And they look down at us Cafeteria Christians! At least we know what is the good stuff being served through Jesus’ name and teachings. Universal Love for All Humanity! Not just for the some or the “many”.

Whatever.

Problem with looking for a better translation from a dead language like Latin to a living language such as English is, in the final result, to leave a Deadening Down effect/meaning and put it in conflict with that living, breathing, evolving tongue of the People of God.
