Glenn Beck Launches ‘We Are All Catholics Now’ Movement

» 77 comments

Glenn Beck is borrowing Mike Huckabee‘s “We are all Catholics now” statement (from his CPAC speech) and hoping to turn it into a movement. The new campaign aims to help attach Sen. Roy Blunt‘s bill — which allows employers to decide whether they want to cover contraception — to the Highway Transportation bill. The basic idea, according to Blunt, is that this is a bill the president will have to sign.

Beck kicked off the initiative on his radio show and has posted full details on his website. The movement is “focused on organizing people to contact their Senators and ask them to vote for a Conscience Protection measure.” The vote is planned for sometime this week.

A couple tips from Beck (who is a Mormon) for that phone call with your Senator [emphasis not mine]:

3. Tell them you want to be contacted back about how he voted (be sure to ask for accountability — they hate it, but it makes them call you back).
4. When you call, be sure to tell them “We are all Catholics now”. This key phrase will let them know you are part of a larger, organized movement working in support of religious freedom.

Oh, and also, make sure to call your own members of Congress. Beck says it won’t work otherwise.

    Which is the same bill that would allow employers to opt out of covering not just birth control, but ANY procedure they deem against their beliefs/morals.  So it could conceivably allow employers to not pay for AIDs medication, Cervical cancer tests–and basically anything that they could be creative enough to come up with a moral reason for opposing.

    I see that being off Fox hasn’t dimmed Beck’s paranoia or sense of victimhood one bit.

    So, if they’re all Catholics now, that means they’re going to come out against the death penalty too, right?

    Right?

    Who is Glenn Beck and why does he support an institution that for generations protected/harbored pedophiles? Why does Glenn Back hate children and want to violate them? Why do Mormons like Beck and Romney support molesting kids?

    It’s fun using Beck-”logic”, I must admit.

    If a Mormon wants to drink caffè lattes then they probably shouldn’t be a Mormon, and most Mormons would agree.  If a Catholic wants to use birth control, then they probably shouldn’t be a Catholic. Just Saying.

     OBAMA THE ANTI-CATHOLIC COWARD
     
     
    Aside from Obama trampling on the church’s first amendment rights what about his moral cowardice and lack of leadership on the issue? When Obama met with Archbishop Dolan in November instead of fearlessly telling him what he intended to do and why he deceives him and promises that the church would be exempt from the birth control mandate. Then instead of meeting with Dolan and the Bishops to work out a satisfactory compromise, which is what leaders do, Obama unilaterally issues a final accommodation which adds insult to injury and keeps the issue alive. Now with rising Catholic anger at Obama’s mandate (64% oppose it says Rasmussen) what does Obama do? Doubles down. GO OBAMA, GO!

    Apollo 0 are you that naive to think that this is just about Catholics? nah uh. This is about the ongoing GOP war against women.  Since you love the Catholic church so much, I guess you were against the Iraq War and are also anti-death penalty? Didn’t  think so. So save your sanctimonious rants for the pedophiliac who probably leads your Sunday Mass.

    Somewhere in heaven, JFK must be laughing his butt off at all the evangelical Protestants who are now alligning themeselves with their “Roman Catholic Brothers!”  They support Catholics Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich for President, and Mormon Glenn Beck proclaims that “We Are All Catholics Now.”!  JFK certainly brought acceptability to Roman Catholic politicians, but I would still like to ask him one question:  “Mr. President, there only 24 hours in a day. With all the women you were banging morning, noon and night, when did you ever find any time to be President?”

    What is a mormon CULTIST like Glenn Beck doing pushing a “We Are All Catholics Now” message?  Mormonism is not even Christian.  It teaches a Jesus Christ who is the half brother to satan and was the result of a physical sexual relationship between the mormon man/god Adam and Mary, a god who was once a physcial man who attained godhood status, baptism for the dead, satan was an actual child of their man/god Adam as opposed to an angel created by God, the trininty means nothing, Christ’s death, burial and resurrection mean nothing….and a plethora of many other cultic teachings that are not Christian.  Even the book of mormon does not support mormon doctrine.  No Glenn….we are not all Catholics and you are a pathetic waste of skin.  The mormon cult made you which is how you originally got into radio broadcasting.  You know nothing about US history, World history, World Religions, God, Jesus, US economics or the US Constitution.  Put simply……you are an idiot and nothing more.

    He is an idiot who could never get a real job in life so he makes big money off of the stupidy of right wingers.  His crowning achievments include giving massive amounts of right wing blow jobs to right wing losers who are pathetic enough pull down their pants and look the other way.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_IC7HRBJRXKA7IKTTZS5W3UIECQ Agent of Truth

    He is indeed a mormon cultist.  The fact that he went from catholicism (a denomination of the Christian religion) to mormonism (a cult) should tell you enough right  there to understand that this person is a complete loser who has absolutely no personal integrtity or brains.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_IC7HRBJRXKA7IKTTZS5W3UIECQ Agent of Truth

    Glenn is the enemy on the run which is exactly where he will always be as the truth is not within him.  And for the record….good does not always win over evil.  In fact, if good is not careful, evil wins many many victories.  People who are impressionable enough to believe the crap that Beck sells are such puppets who lack the ability to think for themselves and see the facts or truth.  All you have to do is attend a CPAC or RNC convention to witness these savages applauding the lies and lying liars who feed steady doses of hate, lies and bigotry to the crowd.  The enemy is on the run.  And it has many names such as GOP, republican, conservative (which really is not conservative), tea party, tea bagger, right winger.  You the type…..they are morons.

    Wanna here something really crazy? In Europe(you know that commie socialist place). And in Italy specifically(home of the catholic church) you can get birth control for free! I know its crazy right next to the pope you can get free birth control.  And check this out, the pope Benedict believes in universal health insurance! Also Glenn the catholic church endorses evolution, annnnnnnnnnd is anit-death penalty, and last but not least is not for deporting illegal immigrants! Glenn the mainstream catholic church is liberal compared to your dumb ass. You have nothing in common with them.
