DANIEL S. writes:

In a recent appearance in Northern Ireland Obama made a statement which could be interpreted as a call for an end to Catholic and other private religious schools in Northern Ireland:

“If towns remain divided,” said the U.S. President, “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.”

So in other words, Catholics and Protestants should cease being those things, as religious beliefs are divisive, and presumably submit to some sort of secular, unitary state. Obama is clearly a man who despises the Catholic Church, and yet leading American Catholic bishops still treat him with deference and act as if Obama is a man who acts in good faith.
