Take A Deep Whiff... That Stench Is The Smell Of The "Fresh Breeze" That Is Vatican II
And while I'm at it, someone please tell me what's so "Great" about John Paul II

Once Catholic Europe. The "Spirit" of Vatican II wrought more destruction than the Ottomans, the Moors, and Martin Luther combined.

Here's some of the article from LifeSiteNews.com; (Emphasis mine) Homosexualist Catholic Irish President Speaks at Jesuit University

SAN FRANCISCO, December 12, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Yesterday the University of San Francisco, a Catholic institution, bestowed an honorary degree upon Irish President Mary McAleese, despite her public dissent from fundamental Church teaching on homosexuality and the male priesthood.

McAleese is the founding legal advisor to the Campaign for Homosexual Law Reform, the Irish group that motivated the country's parliament in 1993 to pass a law legalizing same-sex activity.

This past October McAleese spoke at a forum organized by the homosexualist group "Belong To," where she called for an end to "homophobic bullying" and indicated that finding out that you are homosexual is akin to a "life discovery."

During a 1995 seminar on women’s ordination in Dublin entitled Women Sharing Fully, President McAleese delivered a speech in response to the Vatican declarations, stating: “They say the debate is closed. I think they had better turn up their hearing aids.”

She continued: “If I truly believed that Christ was the authority for the proposition that women are to be excluded from priesthood by virtue simply of their gender, I would have to say emphatically that this is a Christ in whose divinity I do not and will not and cannot believe.”

President McAleese again, in 1997, sharply criticized the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, comparing "defenders of the Vatican line" on an all-male priesthood to "Communist Party apparatchiks hawking redundant cliches” in an article for The Tablet.

The bishops of the United States in 2004 declared that “Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.” (I couldn't help but notice that USF ignored the USCCB. But why the hell not? They ignore Rome consistently.)And this bit of news that would make Ferdinan and Ysabella proud; (Emphasis mine) New law would make Spain the country with highest number of abortions in EU

Madrid, Dec 12, 2008 / 10:28 pm (CNA).- The president of the Institute for Family Policy, Eduardo Hertfelder, warned this week that the new law on abortion currently under consideration would make Spain the country with the highest number of abortions in the EU by the year 2015.

“In fact, the future law on abortion would ensure that Spain surpasses 224,000 abortions per year by 2015, which would mean that more than 670 children would not be born each day because of abortion.” With an abortion occurring “every 2.15 minutes,” this situation will “only serve to make abortion centers rich at the expense of women who see themselves as doomed to abortion,” Hertfelder said.

He also noted that “in order to grasp the magnitude of these figures, we only need to point out that the number of abortions by the year 2015 will be the equivalent of the sum total of the populations of communities like Castilla y Leon (2.5 million people), Castilla La Mancha (2 million people), Galicia (2.7 million people), etc., or the equivalent of the sum total of the populations of Aragon, Navarre and Cantabria.”
