Catholics Take Offense To Obama Naming Critic of Pope Benedict to Faith-Based Panel
Catholics Take Offense to Obama Naming Critic of Pope Benedict to Faith-Based Panel
Harry Knox, appointed by President Obama to a White House advisory council, lambasted the pope and Catholic bishops in a gay newspaper last month for their opposition to same-sex marriage.
A representative of a national gay rights group who was appointed by President Obama to a White House advisory council this week once described Pope Benedict XVI and some Catholic bishops as "discredited leaders" because of their opposition to same-sex marriage.
Harry Knox, director of the religion and faith program at Human Rights Campaign, a Washington-based gay rights group, lambasted the prelates in a gay newspaper last month for their support of Proposition 8, the successful November ballot measure that made same-sex marriage unconstitutional in California.
Knox told the Bay Area Reporter that the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic fraternal service organization, were "foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression" for their role in the campaign, saying the group "followed discredited leaders," including bishops and Pope Benedict.
"People are right to criticize the Catholic Church for anything," Donahue told FOXNews.com. "But Harry Knox is not just a critic. He's insulting. He used disdainful, disparaging terms to talk about the pope and the Catholic hierarchy. If someone were appointed using that language about homosexuals, he would be thrown out."
Donahue said he would prefer to see Obama end the faith-based initiative.
Knox did not return messages seeking comment.
Wild Thing's comment..........
How do you like your buddy Obama now Notre Dame??
I think the Catholic Church priests etc. will not be on Obama's A list of invitations to the White House. He sure tries to do all he can to do things like this, just like Pelosi too and Kerry are not fans of what the Catholic church stands for.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Obama is gathering every oddball activist he can think of and giving them newly made up positions in his administration. His advisory council is so far leftist, that it would make Josef Stalin envious. I am waiting for an advisory position for Rev. Wright.
