wrote: Pope names five saints Oct 11, 2009 11:36 PM | By AP Pope Benedict XVI canonised five people yesterday, including a 19th-century priest whose work with lepers on a Hawaiian island has been hailed by US President Barack Obama as inspiring those helping Aids sufferers today. Among the pilgrims packing St Peter's Basilica was Hawaii resident Audrey Toguchi, an 80-year-old retired teacher whose recovery from lung cancer a decade ago was called miraculous by the Vatican. She had prayed to Belgium-born Jozef De Veuster, known as Father Damien, who himself died in 1889 after contracting leprosy while working with patients living in isolation on Molokai island. Another new saint is Zygmunt Szcezesny Felinski, a 19th-century Polish bishop who defended the Catholic faith during the years of the Russian annexation, which led to the shutdown of Polish churches. Two Spaniards were honoured - Francisco Colly Guitart, who founded an order of Dominicans in the 19th century, and Rafael Arniaz Baron, who renounced an affluent lifestyle at the age of 22 to live in a strict monastery and dedicate himself to prayer. The fifth new saint is Frenchwoman Jeanne Jugan, described by Vatican Radio as an "authentic Mother Teresa ahead of her time". -- The righties will object to the canonization of "Father Damien," because he treated people of color, didn't ask for their health insurance cards, and Obama hailed him as inspiring.

You do exploit your strawmen, don't you? Actually, Harry is trying to get us set up for the canonization of Obama. He doesn't realize that the folks in the Vatican are more wise than that Norwegian group. Nor does he realize that 'Messiahhood' is better than sainthood anyway. I suppose it's possible that Obama could even be nominated by the council of Bishops as the next standing Pope. He meets all other qualifications, obviously. I'm surprised 'Bama isn't already wearing a 'Messiahanic Ring' for folks to kiss. Maybe he's just not thought of it yet. |

Hopefully he isn't 'read up' on Diocletian, Shapur, or Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. He just might entertain notions of divinity. (Come to think of it...wasn't he accompanied by a Greek colunnade at the DNC convention acceptance speech?) -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
