EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC, THIS IS EYE OPENING ... Saw this posted by a friend of mine in his blog recently. Wanted to share it here. I took the liberty of cleaning up some punctuation, and adding notes of clarification in parentheses where I thought they were appropriate. (Note: Immediately, I want to mention that the "Catholic" Church, derives its name from the Greek word for "universal" (cathos) and represents efforts by Constantine to organize and unify all Christianity in the Roman Empire after he had legalized, and decreed it to be the official state religion of Rome. All that began sometime around the years 315 to 325 AD. Over the millenia there were some off-shoots, the main one being between Rome and the Eastern Orthodoxy, but until the Protestant Reformation under Martin Luther began around 1600 AD, the Catholic Church represented almost all of what was considered mainstream Christianity. I only added this comment here to emphasize that BOTH Catholics and Protestants have a LOT in common and share a joint intertwined history. -GLS.) -------------------------------------------------------------- EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC, THIS IS EYE OPENING ... When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no hospitals. Today, one out of five people in this country receive their medical care at a Catholic hospital. When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no schools. Today, the Catholic Church teaches 3 million students a day, in its more than 250 Catholic Colleges and Universities, in its more than 1200 Catholic High Schools and its more than 5000 Catholic grade schools. Every day, the Catholic Church feeds, clothes, shelters and educates more people than any other organization in the world. The new Obama Health Mandate could end all this and the tax payers would have to make up the loss. Also, all Catholic adoption services would come to an end; a human disaster. There are more than 77 million Catholics in this country. It takes an estimated 50 million Catholic votes to elect a president. I am asking all of you to go to the polls in 2014 and be united in replacing all Senators and Representatives with someone who will respect the Catholic Church, all Christians, and all Religions with perhaps the exception of Islam. Mr. President, you said, "The USA is not a Christian Nation". You are wrong. We are a Christian Nation founded on Judeo-Christian values allowing all religions in America to Worship & Practice Freely -Something Islam will never do. Oh, by the way, on MUSLIM HERITAGE IN America ... Have you ever been to a Muslim hospital? Heard a Muslim orchestra? Seen a Muslim band march in a parade? *Know of a Muslim charity? (Note: In the USA, there are organizations which purport to be "charities" but very often their true mission has come into question as to where, which causes, and to whom they actually distribute the funds raised. -GLS.) Or ever seen a Muslim shaking hands with a Muslim Girl Scout? Or ever seen a Muslim Candy Striper volunteering in a hospital? Have you ever seen a Muslim do much of anything that contributes positively to the American way of life? (Note: Offhand none come to my mind, but there must be some. So I guess the question becomes how many other non-Muslims can think of any Muslims who qualify and which readily come to their minds? -GLS.) ---------------------------- Thanks for reading and GBU all, Gavin
