The War Is On: Obama’s Gestapo Arrest Catholic Priest For Praying Outside White House

The Arrest Comes After #Occupiers Throw Grenades At White House Unmolested, And As #OccupyDC Continues To Illegally Occupy Park….

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Father Denis Wilde, OSA, associate director of Priests for Life, was among six people arrested today during a peaceful protest outside the White House.

Father Wilde was representing Priests for Life at an organized protest of the HHS contraception mandate that violates the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of religion. Priests for Life yesterday filed a lawsuit against the Obama Administration that seeks to permanently block the implementation of the mandate because it imposes clear violations of conscience upon any American citizens who morally object to abortion and contraception.

Father Wilde and the other protesters, including the Rev. Pat Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, were cited for “Failure to obey a lawful order” as they knelt in prayer in front of the White House. They each paid a $100 fine and were released from custody.

“Occupy Wall Street protesters have been occupying federal property for months, but when we kneel in prayer, the police are called in and we are arrested,” Father Wilde said. “We knew that was the risk when we gathered today, and we will do it again regardless of the risk. What people of faith – of every faith – need to do now is stand with us.”

Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, said the New York-based organization remains committed to battling the HHS mandate because it forces Americans to become morally entangled in practices they find objectionable.

“As an organization of Catholic clergy, as a corporation that employs 60 people of various religious backgrounds, and as a ministry whose very purpose is to protect and promote the pro-life teaching about the specific practices at issue in the HHS mandate, we are particularly well-positioned to fight against this intrusion of conscience,” Father Pavone said.

Priests for Life is the nation’s largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

    - As much as a woman can be in love with a priest without it being sexual in any way….THAT is how much I love Fr.Pavone.

    That man is one of my personal hero’s, and he will not go down without a fight. I would gladly be the last one standing beside him.

    I support his protest against the white house for any reason.  I would really like to know where he stands on social justice and the rest of the socialist agenda.

    The time for the Pope to step in with these naral catholics is NOW.

  • Just a Girl

     Fr.Pavone’s main focus is the obliteration of abortion. I do know that in 2004, he did speak at a Republican convention, and did endorse Bush. – And before anyone indicts him for that, remember, it was Bush against Kerry.

    Fr.Pavone has been somewhat ‘controversial’ in his statements concerning abortion, but of course, ‘controversial’ is the word leftists use when another view conflicts with their own.

    God is calling his together. The persecution of the Christians has started. Obama is the preparer who is opening the way for Satan to enter the world of the  living and walk among us. The end days have started and things will only get worse from this point. There is going to be death and perversion world wide and the act of murder will become a lawful act. God said this must soon take place to ready the way for his return. Evil must be allowed to reveal itself so those who follow God will know it for the fruit it bears and the dead’s it preforms. He who has ears will hear and he who has eyes will see all that is evil and will know it’s name,  Prepare for his coming for he returns to take his faithful home to spare them the coming horrors that are about to befall mankind.

    When is the tyrant Obama going to be ousted? Folks, he ,ay get re-elected….. He is testing all of us, even our armed forces that appear to be sitting on the sidelines as a dictator wanna-be tramples on the Constitution, overtly and laughing his way out of getting called on….amazing.

    You can be a raging commie and have no distinguishing characteristic that would summons vision of human being, and you can do as you please. You cannot; however, be a Christian and have rights. This government wants God to be gone from this country and most Christians will not give up God. We’re in real danger of looking like Russia and Iran. Obama and the liberals can no longer tolerate Christianity and we can no longer tolerate a government that takes away our God-given rights to freedom and to worship of the Lord.

     Plenty of Muslims thought 9/11 was atrocious.  Some Christians thought it was America’s chickens coming home to roost and crowed about it with a grin.

    Sad world… it’s more complex than you think and while it’s true that liberals are much more afraid of Muslims than Christians because of the worst Muslims, and treat Christians worse as a result, you shouldn’t lay 9/11 at the foot of every Muslim.

    They might tell you there is only one Islam, but that is a lie.  These are religions… not gods, and they are products of men able to evolve.  Some Muslims are moderate.  It’s the truth and we should try to help them define Islam instead of defining it according to the murderous psychos’ definition.

    I’VE HAD ENOUGH! In this Holy War on Religion, of Religion, and by Religion.    I SURRENDER!  I’m a lover,  not a fighter.  Instead… I’m gonna start my OWN religion, and get in on the good stuff: tax exemptions, and lots of taxpayer money to do what I want, in the name of religious liberty. Most definitely! Hey NEWT -wanna join? We’re gonna have open marriages and multiple wives and all SORTS of neat stuff that you’re just gonna love! But don’t you worry your little head Newt: we’ll have no  -I repeat- NO nasty stoning of adulterers. None of that stuff.  I Promise! As for SANTORUM, he just LOVES to tell other people how they should live.  He’ll make us a REAL fine preacher-man. In fact, we’ll make him Saint Santorum.  AND fix his Google search results! As for Mr. Obama,  obviously, we’ll need to (severely) demonize him, even further.  And his dog Toto too. Last but not least: MITT and RON. Hmmm.  Hey, I know.  Just for you two guys: if you join we’ll insist on NO TAXES AT ALL  for church members…AND human sacrifice of illegal aliens. Out with their hearts! Televised! Live! Whoooppee! WHAT A COUNTRY!   :-)

    By the way, please don’t mention the REASON that Mitt Romney’s dad was born in Mexico (i.e. The fact that Mitt’s Mormon grand-dad left the United States in the 1880’s. He went to Mexico BECAUSE laws against polygamy were passed in the U.S. ; Being a Mormon back then, Mitt’s grand-dad wanted to keep his multiple wives. Hey, who wouldn’t?)  Bottom line: if we follow the “logic” of the people crying crocodile tears about a non-existent “war on religion”, then the U.S. should have allowed polygamy (and who knows what else) just because a particular religion claimed it as their cherished belief. GIVE ME A BREAK! 

    Absolutely NO ONE is coming into our Churches or places of worship and trying to tell parishioners what to believe…..or forcing them to use contraception. BUT If the Bishops (and other denominations) want to continue running  businesses that employ millions of people of varying faiths -or no “faith” at all- THEN they must play by the same rules and rights that other workers have and enjoy…especially  if their businesses use our tax dollars (and skip paying taxes) in the process. This is not a “war on religion”. It’s a war on women and men who simply want to plan their families and control their future. Now that’s REAL religious liberty!

     p. s. I come from a religious background.  I know that their are MANY good people out there, in various faiths (and outside of those faiths); many good people searching for answers, for community, for a way….in this all-too-harsh world. There’s only one thing I can say to you: think for yourself, be yourself, trust yourself. Don’t just accept something because it comes from a “voice of authority”. That’s why you have a conscience: to choose,  not just to follow….

    Hey retard!  WHERE in the CONSTITUTION or STATE OR FEDERAL LAW does it say ANYTHING about CONTRACEPTION being MANDATORY?  WHERE DOES OUR BILL OF RIGHTS INCLUDE CONTRACEPTION?  WHERE DO WORKERS’ RIGHTS INCLUDE CONTRACEPTION?

    OH! THEY DON’T HAVE ANYTHING ABOUT CONTRACEPTION IN THEM DO THEY?  NO, THEY DON’T.  BECAUSE IT’S NOT A RIGHT.

    So while you come here ripping conservatives, clearly not trying to make any friends… realize YOU’RE NOT EVEN FOLLOWING YOUR OWN ADVICE about thinking for yourself.  You’re a zombie hive-mentality useful idiot.  Might as well be a bot.  You’re doing the EXACT SAME THING AS OUR LIMP FALACE IN CHIEF and PLAYING ELECTION YEAR POLITICS by backing this mandate.  You might have come from a religious background but your cowardly attacks on conservatives and religion from the comfort of your mom’s basement illustrates you received absolutely no blessing from it.  You also remain completely clueless of the FIRST AMENDMENT which is in place to PROTECT AMERICANS from POWER-MONGERING IDIOTS LIKE OBAMA.

    Good day you waste of flesh.

    I’m just breaking in an AR15.  I could probably hit a bumper sticker with it with at least half the rounds in the magazine.  I probably should have gone with an M-14 instead.  I’m sure I could split his commemorative postage stamp.  The seller said he’d let me return it.  Should I have gone with the M-14?

  • trustme1013

    Oh, Just a Girl, I definitely understand your innocent Catholic School Girl ‘crush’ on a good, God-loving, Christ-Following priest.  As Catholics, our first love must be to Christ anyway, and, at least for me, others who show that so blatantly achieve my ‘fangirl’ status.  There’s nothing like a real man who loves Christ.  I completely understand!  :) You can’t help but love [and pray] for him!

  • trustme1013

    I … just get the feeling that this is bigger than that, though.  Missouri, and its bishops, for example, aren’t messing around.  http://www.mocatholic.org/tag/hhs/  I am very happily taking the day to make the trek to Jeff City.  Abp Carlson isn’t messing around.  If Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger was “God’s Rottweiler,” then Carlson is His “bulldog.”

  • trustme1013

    A good example was the Santorum supporter who said women should hold an aspirin between their knees as a contraceptive, and the news commentator had a COW.  I dunno — it was on Rush.  Libs ‘Chicken Little’ every freaking thing, it’s not even funny.

    And when you first look at Fr.Pavone you’re not very impressed. He seems rather meek, kind of shy, rather quiet and reserved…but then BOOM !!! He starts speaking and you’re transfixed by the man. He certainly has a God given gift, and is just an all around fantastic human being.

    Maybe Muslims have been misunderstood for centuries because Islam teaches hate against anyone who is Non- Muslim….Death to Infidels…….Death to any Muslim that attempts to break away from Islam and denounce it……..plus grown men in your so-called religion just love to have sex with underage little boys……Islam is full of sick fucks bowing down to Allah……. and most of all Islam attacked my country and killed over three thousand innocent civilians……it wasn’t Baptists or Protestants or Catholics or Jews that did this, it was done by Muslims….Ya think that might be why Nawaf?

    .I will despise Islam till the day i fucking die for the attrocities that  people have done in it’s name for centuries…….i don’t trust any of you mother-fuckers.
