My Catholic priest, Father Larry Swink, delivered a homily on Sunday that I told him would make headlines. In the toughest sermon I have ever heard from a pulpit, he attacked the Obama Administration as evil, even demonic, and warned of religious persecution ahead. What was also newsworthy about the sermon was that he cited The Washington Post in agreement—not on the subject of the Obama Administration being evil, but on the matter of its abridgment of the constitutional right to freedom of religion.
At a time when the media are full of reports about who is ahead and behind in the polls, and who will win the next Republican presidential primary, this incredible uprising in the Catholic Church is something that could not only overshadow the political campaign season, but also may have a major impact on the ultimate outcome—if Republicans know how to handle it. This matter goes beyond partisan politics to the growing perception of an unconstitutional Obama Administration assault on religious freedom. To hear the Catholic Bishops and Priests describe it, our constitutional republic and our freedoms hang in the balance.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- THIS BEARS REPEATING BECAUSE WHAT THIS PRIEST HAS DONE IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN IN PULPITS NATIONWIDE: "My Catholic priest, Father Larry Swink, delivered a homily on Sunday that I told him would make headlines. In the toughest sermon I have ever heard from a pulpit, he attacked the Obama Administration as evil, even demonic, and warned of religious persecution ahead."
I've been speaking out about the silence in the pulpit caused by the IRS rule in 1947 and the Johnson Ammendment that worsened it.. That rule the church was told, in order to hold a tax exempt status put a muzzle on political dicussion on issues and elections in the pulpit.
So, Father Larry Swink, you are to be honored for your bold and courage step toward restoring our religious freedom.
