US President undermines Catholic schools after Vatican Prefect praised them
The US President has made an alarming call for an end to Catholic education in Northern Ireland in spite of the fact that Archbishop Gerhard Müller told Scots that Catholic education was 'a critical component of the Church.'
President Barack Obama (above), repeated the oft disproved claim that Catholic education increases division in front of an audience of 2000 young people, including many Catholics, at Belfast's Waterfront hall when he arrived in the country this morning.
"If towns remain divided—if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can't see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to harden—that too encourages division and discourages cooperation," the US president said.
The US politician made the unfounded claim despite a top Vatican official spelling out the undeniable good done by Catholic education in a speech in Glasgow on Saturday and in his homily at Mass on Friday.

The only "division" he's concerned with is that they aren't being taught (at least in theory) to worship the State.
I wonder if the school was of an opposing religion, if he would have thought differently. Probably would have provided prayer rugs and congratulated them.
It is hard to believe that so many folks are blind to his agenda. Everyday that passes he peels back some more of what he really is.

Yep, like an uncooked artichoke, every piece is like the last, thorny and useless.

Well, then, let's light a fire and cook the bastard.
