To all of you catholics, a question. I am reading how Obama must believe and support everything that Rev Wright stood for. (I do not go to church, I am not ashamed of that. I think organized religion is the most hypocritical thing out there. )I have always thought, from the outside looking in of course, that the priest, pastor or minister were not the only people that the congregation grew strength from. The entire church family is what you gained strength form. If you fault Obama for a faucet of his (Wrights) personality and claim that he too must suscribe to that belief since he still at that time belonged to the church, then do you also believe that it is perfectly okay for priests to rape little boys? Very few priests were reprimanded for the atrocities they inflicted on hundreds of little boys. How many catholics ever left the church and denounced what happened? Of course if you are catholic and love the church you didn't leave or denounce your faith. Did you know the priests molested the kids? Probably not, but what has come to light now, looking back there were obvious signs. I live in a community that was and continues to be shaken by such priests. I don't look at any of my catholic friends with any difference now. After the first boy (man) came forward and made his claims, they continued to go to the same church, look upon their bishop with great admiration even though he seemed to be protecting the priests in question. It is their relationship with the teachings of the church and the members of the congregation that feed their soul. The priests were only a part of their spiritial life. So for once and for all could you just step off the whole big fat lie that Obama subscribes to every thought that Wright does. The Trinity church was and continues to be much more than one reverand
