IT’S amazing how much a false president and a false pope can have in common. On February 5th, at the National Prayer Breakfast, Barack Hussein Obama  did such a brilliant Jorge Bergoglio imitation that one might suspect that Obama is pitching for the “pope’s” job. Why not? After all, you don’t have to be Catholic to be a papal pretender. In fact, it’s best if you’re not.

In his speech, the president, who also believes all religions are true (and thus no religions are true), said:

So how do we, as people of faith, reconcile these realities — the profound good, the strength, the tenacity, the compassion and love that can flow from all of our faiths, operating alongside those who seek to hijack religious for their own murderous ends?

Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. Michelle and I returned from India — an incredible, beautiful country, full of magnificent diversity — but a place where, in past years, religious faiths of all types have, on occasion, been targeted by other peoples of faith, simply due to their heritage and their beliefs — acts of intolerance that would have shocked Gandhiji, the person who helped to liberate that nation.

Ah, Ghandiji. Perhaps he will liberate America too.
