Catholic Fire

Barack Obama may have quelled a self-described political "firestorm" by quitting Rev. Jeremiah Wright's controversial "black liberation" church, but the bombastic pastor is preparing to set off a bomb in the homestretch of the Democratic candidate's campaign. Wright has an "October surprise" in store for Obama, reports New York magazine, with the launch of a publicity tour for his new book. Highlighting the story in the UK's Spectator magazine , writer James Forsyth calls it a "huge problem for Obama," with the controversy over Wright's racial and anti-American sermons and his friendship with Obama "returning to the news agenda just as undecided voters begin to make up their minds."

WARNING: VILE and VULGAR LANGUAGE I have been listening to the discussions on Ave Maria radio about Obama's pastor who has been a major influence in his life. Not only does Jeremiah Wright preach racism and hatred of whites, but he also "damns" this country over and over again, blaming it for many wars. This man is vile and vulgar in his speech and thoughts, totally uncharitable, and divisively dangerous. His words are anything but Christian and he has been Obama's spiritual mentor for twenty years. How can Obama possibly unite this country when he's been spoon fed this kind of garbage over the years? How can he call himself a Christian if he believes what this man preaches?
