They aren't merely Christians Spence, many of them are rabidly anti-Catholic. That's what is questionable judgment for a "welcome ceremony" for a Pope.
How many true, devout Catholics did Obama invite? If he invited none, but several rabid anti-Catholics, then clearly he has an agenda here.
As I said, this isn't a gathering for a debate, or for an episode of "Crossfire". This is a "welcome ceremony" for a Pope, and it seems like Obama is trying to make him feel less-than-welcome. Very par for the course, for this divisive jerk.

You have no clue how many devout Catholics were invited. You're just milking a knee jerk reaction to reading something online because you hate the President.
Dangles, nailed it. He has you in a figure four... |

You're right, I don't know, which is why I asked. But here's what I do know Spence...if I was hosting a "welcome ceremony" for someone who dedicated their entire life to any cause, I wouldn't invite a single person who was militantly undermining that cause. Would you? |

Please explain how a few transgendered people, a gay bishop and a nun who the Vatican doesn't like because she doesn't speak out against abortion enough is "militantly undermining" any cause. |

Can I answer that question with a question? Why do these people want to be at a welcome ceremony for the Pope, do you suppose?
There's a time and place for rigorous debate. I don't think a "welcome ceremony" is the place to debate (or attack) what the Pope holds dear. Has Obama invited anyone who got free food at a Catholic food bank, free medical care at a Catholic hospital, or free lodging at a Catholic shelter? I don't know.
Spence, maybe you'd invite Ann Coulter to a welcome ceremony for Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner, but I wouldn't. Even if Coulter didn't say a word, I doubt her presence would make Jenner feel welcome, which is the whole point of welcome ceremony, isn't it? |

Perhaps because they're Christian and it's kind of cool to meet the Pope?
Jim, it's all fake outrage...
When Dangles releases you from his choke lock, you should read this...some ammo for your next hissy fit.
