Catholic Priest Disowns Santorum’s Satan Comments As ‘Not Catholic’ To O’Reilly

video
» 56 comments

Perhaps because the topic is taking over so many headlines or perhaps because it is Ash Wednesday, Bill O’Reilly dedicated a segment of his program today to Rick Santorum‘s recent comments on religion, on Satan threatening America. For this topic, he had two men of faith on the program: Pastor Robert Jeffress and Father Edward Beck, and it was not the priest from Santorum’s church who supported his comments.

In fact, Father Beck seemed very concerned both for Santorum’s electoral prospects and his understanding of Catholic theology. “It doesn’t appeal to people more in the middle,” he explained, and crowned Santorum “more of an Evangelical Catholic, to the right of most Catholics.” O’Reilly asked whether he thought Santorum was “honest,” which he agreed on but “you can not agree with an honest person.” He counseled Santorum to take a more secular, Kennedy-esque approach.

“I don’t agree with Santorum on every social issue… but I admire a candidate that is willing to stand on principle,” Jeffress replied, adding to a comment from O’Reilly that Santorum was a “very judgmental guy” that the candidate’s theological comments were not even made recently or often. “He is not out on the stump giving policy speeches about Satan,” Jeffress noted, and said he was “in the mainstream of what millions of Christians believe” and not “some nutjob on the fringe.” Father Beck objected to this, but was cut off by O’Reilly when making a point about Catholic theology, redirecting instead his point to electability– most Christians, to him, did not agree with Santorum.

    Why couldn’t they get Satan to speak for himself in this segment?

    I hear Roger Ailes is pretty tight with him.

    Moreover, they’ve never actually been photographed together.

    Coincidence?

    He counseled Santorum to take a more secular, Kennedy-esque approach.

    Wait, so he should have a bunch of affairs and drive woman off a bridge and leave her to drown? I don’t think that’s gonna work for him, Padre.

    So, the priest is counseling Santorum to moderate his religious views, in order to improve his electability?  THAT’S Catholic?  Maybe they should switch jobs.

    Why would Satan not take on the form of an overly-concerned activist Christian politician battling what he says to be society’s woes? Such a public figure would obviously get devotion from much of the evangelical base.

    Of course, such a wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing politician would need to choose ultimately losing battles for Christian activists. This sweeps in shallow, uninformed loudmouths (many from the Tea PartieS). Ultimately, though, the game is to discredit Christianity. And Rick Santorum is full of loony, old-fashioned, impractical, unthought-out, naive plans. If that is the best game that Satan can come up with, he really sucks. But we would suck for harder to actually elect a President Santorum.

    All hail, Rick. Slick Rick. You’re our President Prick. Command us. Inseminate America with your religion. We open our arms and legs to you.

    The Politics of Destruction by Neil Murphy
     Things are not as they seem America. Our enemies are among us, and its time to open your eyes or face destruction. The deocratic
    party has been coopted by Communists and are now actively working to destroy this country on every level. Paranoid? I will report, you
    decide. Lets begin with the jobs czar and the GM bailout. Mr Emelt is the CEO of General Electric, the single biggest recipient of federal economic stimulus dollars. On his way to posting
    an 18 Billion dollar profit at our expense not only has he outsourced thousands of jobs to China but he has manage to avoid paying one
    dollar in corporate tax. The recent deal with GM is even stinkier. Due to federal subsidies on green energy his company now makes a profit
    on every Volt they buy. Thats not a misprint, generally companies make money selling products not nuying them. General Electric could buy
    every single Volt produced and make money on every one. Expect Volt production to increase and another good year for both companies.
    Outsourcing jobs to China is not evil in principal, there are usually sound financial reasons for companies to do this, but with an 18
    billion dollar profit and zero income taxes, I have to call it like I see it. Mr Geithner, Treasury secretary is another good example. The treasury is empty and we have already been downgraged and he still
    cant come up with one single way to improve (not fix, just improve) the fiscal situation. His ten year budget is a straight 8% baseline
    growth growth of the federal government, even when questioned by Paul Ryan he cant even come up with a pretend answer.Im not a budget
    expert so lets just move on to homeland security. Janet Napolitano tells us the border is as secure as it has ever been, and deportations are up. This is true deportations are up,
    but not because the Mexico border is secure, its due to draconian tactics by Immigration Control on the Northern border. In the Pacific
    Northwest immigration control is an oppressive presence with agents stopping whole buses to check the ID of anyone looking hispanic. I
    approve of a secure Northern border, however its hard too argue that there is not a problem on the Southern border, the death toll is just
    too high. The Justice and  President Obama (I am trying not to even mention the president, but thats only 1 time so far) resist a law
    passed in Arizona even allowing police to check the immigration status of people who are ARRESTED. Moving along, it seems natural to look
    at the Justice Department and attorney general Holder. In 2009, the buraeu of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms received federal economic stimulus money used to initiate operation Fast and
    Furious. Fast and Furious, if you dont know, was a program whereby thousands of guns, mostly assault rifles, were deliberately sold to
    straw buyers and allowed to cross the border into Mexico and into the hands of cartel members. These are the admitted facts, and that would
    seem fishy enough. After Agent Brian Terry was killed by one of these weapons the operation was exposed publicyand to this day not only Mr
    Holder denies knowing anything about the operation. There is of course, mountains of evidence that not only suggest otherwise, but make a
    very strong case that he has perjured himself before congress. Its been over a year since Agent Terry (rest in peace) has been killed, and
    Mr Holder has yet to hold anyone in the chain of command accountable. His position seems to be, I didn’t approve the operations but I do
    approve of it and there is nothing you can do about it Mr Issa. (congressman Issa is the chairman of the judiciary commitee attempting to
    investigate operation fast and furious.) Lets move on to the Department of Energy and Secretary Steven Chu. Mr Chu personally helped to push through a loan guarantee for
    solar energy giant Solyndra which, of course went bankrupt. The more this investigation progresses the clearer it is that Chu knew the
    company was going bankrupt. Documents found in a typical friday afternoon document dump also reveal that Mr Chu spread federal money around
    to various companies to BUY the Solyndra porduct, at the same time Solyndra is recieving massive federal money to sell the product. Was
    this an attempt to keep Solyndra alive? Solyndra lost money on every unit sold and Mr Chu knew it. I report, you decide. many more examples
    from the Stimulus bill are out there but there isnt a big enough internet in the world to list them all. Find out for yourself. Its on foreign policy that this administration is the most dangerous, Im forced to call out the President himself on this. He
    claims to support Israel and yet the evidence suggests otherwise. Iran is within months of being able to make a nuclear bomb and the
    presidents only strategy seems to be stall, stall, stall. He supports the Egyptian government, the Venezuelan government, the Chinese
    government and the Pakistan. Look around people, I can’t do it all. Up and down the line if you are an enemy of our country you can count
    on the President Obamas support. Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius says “parents dont always know whats best for the child”, White House spokesman Valerie
    Jarrett says “unemplyment benefits stimulate the economy”. Obamacare. Media Matters. My hard drive isn’t big enough. Whos side are these
    people on? What are they trying to do? As Americans it is your duty to look beyond Obamas words. What if he is lying? Ask yourself, if you
    were in his position and wanted to destroy America, how would you do it? Can we afford to trust this man and these people? Listen  to Glenn Beck, he seems paranoid but nothing he says can be disproven. What if he IS right? Pray with me. “Please god, let America see through this bullsht before its too late, take care of Agent Terry and if I die before
    November DONT LET ME VOTE FOR OBAMA.

    The economic Policies of Barack Obama and how he saved gmby Neil Murphy
     When Barack Obama took office in 2009, one of the first thing he had to deal with was the imminent bankruptcy of the big 3 automakers.The economy was dragging and unemployment was rising and President Obama acted to save auto industry in Detroit. All three companies are alive and well today. All  three companies are alive and well today, particularly GM who posted record profits in 2011. The auto bailout is touted to this day as a success with all credit generally given to Barack Obama, but underneath the surface this deal doesn’t look very good at all. Barack Obama campaigned in 2008 and spent the better part of 2009 passing the Affordable Health Care Act. Known by its oppenents as Obamacare its purpose was to provide affordable health care for all Americans includint the uninsured and the uninsurable. The Economic Recovery act was also passed in 2009, a plan designed to spur job growth stimulate the economy. All three bills are frequently lauded as a success by President Obama and his supporters, but upon close inspection all  is not as it appears to be. Cut to 2012, unemployment is still high, the economy is still sluggish at best, and no one has actually received and affordable health care. Each of these bills can be argued on a point by point basis as anything from resounding successes to abject failures. My view is that these bills are 3 of the worst laws in the history of the United States and heres why. Beginning with the auto bailout. Without getting into too much detail, a large amount of caash was infused into these companies in order to keep them operating. GM received 51 billion in federal money in exchange for partial ownership of GM. Subsidies were passed for the now famous chevy Volt a next generation green car. Tax credits were handed out some as part of the economic recovery act(stimulus). As a result of this GM paid no income taxes in 2011 on their way to posting the record profits mentioned. As part of the stimulus bill money was spent on grants, loan guarantees and tax credits for green energy programs including solar, wind, and electric cars. General Electric was a main beneficiary of this money recieving billions of dollars for many projects, depending on your source the total amount approaches 100 billion dollars. Because of the green energy tax credits and subsidies for large wind and solar projects, GE posted an 18billion dollar profit. More subsidies were passed in 2012 including a 10,000 dollar tax credit on each Volt sold. What does that have to do with GE, I will show you, but first. Cut to the Soviet Union, the largest communist empire the world has ever seen with millions of workers constructing widgets full time. What is a widget you ask? Its nothing, a product no one wants or need but is produced to keep the people working, back to 2012 and the widget of the 21st century. The Chevy Volt. An insidious situation has been set up under the guise of economic recovery and creating jobs. Between GM and GE a profit of over 25 billion dollars was posted in 2012 and no income tax was paid by either company. Recently a new deal was announced, wherby GE agreed to buy a fleet of Volts from GM thus completing the trinity. Under these rules GM is being paid in tax dollars to produce Volts that GE, also using tax dollars buys. With the newest subsidy in place both of these companies, 2 of the largest corporations in the world make a profit on every single one. How can you make a profit buying a car you ask? Well you use other peoples money, and thus our widget. How can this be considered good economic policy? Well its not its very bad economic policy, under these rules GE can buy as many widgets as they possibly can as fast as GM can make them and recieve an unlimited amount of tax dollars without ever giving anything back. Just buy them and park them on a lot somewhere. Is this deliberate or is President Obama incompetant? My opinion is deliberate. On to Obamacare a hugely expensive entitlement program reviled by some, loved by others. The bill is reviled on the right as everything from unconstitutional, to wasteful beauracracy, to free handouts. It is all of these things. Obama is not incompetant he knows exactly what hes doing. These policies are designed to suck the life from our economy and they are doing there job well. If you can accept the terrifying premise that Obama wants the economy to crash everything makes peerfect sense. Both green energy and obamacare are designed as a way to destroy money. An infinite amount of tax dollars will be poured into all 3 programs.  America needs to wake up and see. An infinite cycle of taxpayer dollars is now setup between GM and GE, with nothing of value being created. Obamacare is going to suck money from every american most if not all will go to beauracracies and give aways, its is a bottomless hole where money goes to die whit nothing of value ever created, unless you count federal employees as a product. The Stimulus bill was over 700 billion dollars and was also designed to destroy money. We have all heard of Solyndra and the bad loan, what not everyone realizes is that Solyndra knew it was going bankrupt at the time of the loan and so did the department of energy. Another thing not everyone realizes is that grants were given out to other, healthy, companies to buy Solar Panels from Solyndra who took a loss on every one sold until the money ran out and they went bankrupt. Leaving the taxpayer at the end of a long list of creditors and likely to recover nothing. By my estimate we have now spentwell over a trillion dollars on suicidal programs designed to harm our financial well being.  It is impossible for me to believe that POTUS, with all the infromation available to him could possibly imagine that any of this would work. My opinion is that his green energy programs and healthcare packages are a front for a communist/socialist agenda and its terrifying. Wake up Comrades. The widget factories are in full production and we need to act now or face a crash like none we have ever seen before.

    Republican primary vote totals state-by-state and nationally are at new lows.  Why?

    Because they have a choice between the following:

    * a Richie Rich who belongs to a cult of polygamists with a penchant for necrophilic rituals and who can be a liberal, moderate and conservative, all within the time span of 5 nanoseconds
    * a corrupt Yankee who pretends to be a southerner and wants to be president and who is a serial adulterer sitting in judgment of the adultery of presidents no less
    * an economic libertarian with a social agenda anything but libertarian who publishes racist, misogynistic newsletters and tries to deny having done so

    And who is leading this pack of creeps and weirdos?

    A former altar boy who in his boyhood was molested by one of those pedophilic priests who join the Roman Catholic clergy for the very reason of getting that criminal opportunity.  The twisted Sick RECTorUM does not belong on a candidate’s stage, but rather in some intense one-on-one or perhaps group psychotherapeutic regime so that he can lead some semblance of a normal life.

    I’m pretty sure he meant JFK, not Teddy; but besides: his point didn’t go to personal behavior & personal morality, it went to the role of religious in government. JFK drew a bold line – which Obama recently blurred, at the National Prayer Breakfast.

    BillO said ‘the times were different’. BillO is right. JFK had going for him that Nixon was not seen as religious at all, while, if elected JFK would be the first ever Catholic president; point being, by proclaiming as policy his adherence to separation of church & state, JFK got a two-fer: a reminder of his being Catholic, plus neutering the ability Nixon to exploit it, because the 1960 election was similar to the 2000 election in the sense that independent voters were tough to impress that Nixon & JFK would be all that different in office.[After that loss, Nixon spent a lot of time & effort & resources over next 6 years trying to establish an image of himself as a sort of modern version of a philosophic "Quaker" through his mother's ancestors, expecting he could pull off the same game for Quakers against JFK's brother Robert, who he expected to meet in 1968. It was completely stupid - it's not as if there was this huge burgeoning Quaker consciousness burbing below the surface of American politics - but Nixon was a thoroughly unprincipled guy while didn't give a shit for religion still accepted his base of resentfuls for some reason did, so he tried to pander. This is actually how Nixon came to meet future Nixon White House communications office aide by the name of Roger Ailes. Ailes had been assigned to work on this pander, & realized instinctively it was a waste of time, but went to the trouble of gathering polling to allow others to show candidate Nixon stuff to talk him of it, while the same polling also showed Nixon might be able to exploit a wedge opportunity in the South simply by running on the idea quite popular down there of HMC being the Whore of Babylong. Ailes actually got sent in to explain all this to Nixon, who was a quick study & big in the ad business - both Erlichman & Haldeman, his NSA & his chief of staff, were ad guys - saw he could use such a ruthlessly unsentimental pollster in the White House, & the rest, as they say, his hysteria. While Ailes was in the Nixon WH, he first pushed on Nixon the idea of a reliable pro-Republican TV news channel, and for the president to use the bully pulpit to manipulate the news cycle - the second getting implemented by Reagan & the first becoming what we now know as FNC.] 

    Billo would say Obama opened this door of opportunity for Santorum, with the Islamic sounding name, the church in Chicago, Jeremiah Wright, the speech at the NPB. BillO is right again. 

    Bill would then say, but it only gets you so far, & that justifies his inviting on Father Beck. BillO’s a real pro at this sort of messaging: he brings on Father Beck for a specific message, makes sure the two religios don’t stray off his reservation, treats Jeffiries with more respect, but actually aims all along to have his point made by & through Father Beck, which he conditions his audience to accept by kind of dissing Father Beck. The message: Santorum’s success at this nomination stage is one thing, the general election is quite another, and indeed all indications are that Obama would kick Santorum’s butt even with Santorum’s supposed Catholic base. Beck made that point, made it well, & from that point on, Billo wanted to filibuster the rest of the segment & end it. Mission accomplished. 

    There’s still another dimension to BillO’s feel for messaging, in how this works with BillO’s demographic of largely oldies. By doing it this way, he gets to bob & weave away from the fact that his demo thinks Mittens’ religion is a cult – which is why Jeffires was invited on.

     I see nothing wrong with GE deciding that its profitability will be improved by providing the Volt instead of some other car as a company car.
    That is the essential element in that article. GE provides cars and pays for the gas (or electricity) that the cars use as a business expense. This sort of thing is done by many large and small companies.
    If a bakery that has its own trucks decides to use “green” trucks, that is the bakery’s business decision. Same idea applies to GE and its company vehicles.

    I’m not at all sure there is a universal Catholicism. There are a variety of Catholic forms throughout the world, historically the Northern European, Irish and Southern European divides. They are pronounced. When Catholicism came to the US, early in the nation’s history, but after a Protestant foothold was firmly established, American Catholicism was initially shaped by the country of origin of its immigrants. We tended to be firmly in the Northern European style. That was fortunate as Northern European Catholicism already had a history of accommodation with Protestants, and it was rather firmly rooted in the capitalist or more properly mercantile tradition. Irish and Southern European Catholic traditions arrived much later. Because the American ethos was largely Protestant, however, this ethnic origins of the Church have never been fully integrated into a unique American Catholicism. As an American Catholic in the Northern European tradition, my Catholicism is markedly different in taste, tone, style and even ecclesiology than my fellow Hispanic worshipers who are more centered in the Southern European tradition. The differences often reach as far as marked differences in doctrinal emphases.

    Of course, the picture is even more complicated today with the emergence of African Catholicism and the reemergence of Middle Eastern practices.

    Saying many American Catholics don’t agree with Sanitarium is demonstrably true and of more general application than you suppose.

    Interesting read.

    I understand there are regional differences in celebration of the mass, but always thought your definition of “Southern European” Catholocism (Roman Catholic) was the universal doctrinal one, coming direct from the Pope.

    However, look at the birth statistics in Italy and you’ll see even Italian Roman Catholics obviously use birth control as the population shrinks.

    So, even Roman Catholics have lost influence in Italy…

    I observed this ‘priest’ during a panel discussion regarding the Obama mandate.  He was the only ‘clergyman’ on that panel of about two-dozen who was in lockstep with Obama.  Again, cheap politics before Faith… just like Keehan, Sebilius, Jenkins, Kmiec and Pelosi!

  • irishsmile

    There are some activist priests and sisters out there who support liberation theology, illegal immigration, homosexual activities and, yes,  even support pro-abortion politicians.  They put cheap politics above their Faith because they are entirely out of step with the Theology of the Catholic church.  If they were really ethical and honest they would walk away from the Catholic church and become liberal politicians and/or social workers.

    I believe in good and evil. If Rick Santorum referred to Satan, no doubt we are talking about evil.  How many of you out there think the morals of our country haven’t declined.  A disregard for God and country by many.  School children who use foul language, have sex as young as 12 years old, out of wedlock child birth, no respect for anyone, police, elders even their parents.  I would say those declines are the work of Satan and until we regain our love of God, Satan is winning.

     Well Rose…I’ll start out this way..In Sixth grade at our school we were taught sex education, not abstinence. When you teach abstinence you don’t allow the kids to learn just what “sex” is. And almost 100% of the time that kids have sex for the first time if they aren’t using Condoms (a strict no-no taught by the abstinence crowd) or using BC Pills…the inevitable happens they end up pregnant. I don’t know how it just is that way.

    We need to teach the Abominations to our children. But we cannot use Santorum as the example of someone who believes in them. True he is against homosexuality, but then you see him in his sweater-vests. Again if you learn the Abominations wearing a Cotton shirt while wearing a wool sweater means that he is guilty of an Abomination.

    How many times have you worn a Cotton Blouse/Dress/T-Shirt over your Latex Bra? An Abomination.
    How many times have your worn Spandex Panties with almost anything? An Abomination.
    How many times have you had a milkshake with a hamburger? An Abomination.
    How many times have you worn jewelry that is not a spartan wedding band? An Abomination.
    How many times has your boyfriend/husband/son worn underwear with an elastic waistband? An Abomination.

    How many times has your bf/husband/son worn a Cotton shirt while wearing a Polyester suit? An Abomination.
    How many times has your bf/husband/son worn a Silk or Poly-blend Tie with his suit an Abomination.

    How many times have you or your bf/husband/son worn a Sweatshirt or Sweatpants? Since they are usually a mixed blend of Cotton & Polyester? An Abomination.

    Although I’m sure that your Church has selective amnesia when it comes to the Abominations. *(362) your Church only teaches you ONE. {Homosexuality}

    Oh I forgot about your boyfriend/husband/son watching sports on Sunday after Church.
    Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey and back to Football. Now have you taught them to go and smite the players? Since they are working on the Sabbath. Have you let them know that you will be visiting them while they do 25 to life for murder? or God forbid they kill the whole team. In that case they may be getting the death penalty.

    Have you taught them that they are not allowed to play football themselves since the football is made of pigskin? Again a big Abomination.

    But I should also mention…That since you are a Conservative Christian how many times have you taught your family the words of Christ? {a Red-Letter Bible is the easiest way to see just what he said} Please note that Christ never says anything about Homosexuality.

    Mr Beckt can’t speak for me or for millions of  American Catholics  like me!!!!

    The doctrine of the Church, the  Councils and  the Catechism is clear, the demon IS NOT A  REPRESENTATION is a defined spiritual being .

    Catechism of the Catholic Church:

     

    391 Behind the disobedient choice of our first parents lurks
    a seductive voice, Opposed to God, Which Makes Them Fall Into envy.266 death
    out of Scripture and the Church’s Tradition see In This Being a fallen angel,
    Called “Satan” or the “devil “.267 The Church That Teaches
    Satan WAS at first a good angel, made by God:” The devil and the other
    demons indeed created naturally good Were by God, But They Became Their Own by
    doing evil. “268

     

    392 Scripture speaks of a sin of These angels.269 This
    “fall” in the free choice Consists of These created spirits, who
    Radically and irrevocably Rejected God and His reign. We find a reflection of
    rebellion in the tempter That’s words to our first parents: “You will be
    like God.” 270 The devil “has sinned from the beginning”, I is
    “a liar and the father of lies” .271

     

    393 It is the irrevocable character of Their choice, and not
    a defect in the infinite divine mercy, That Makes the angels’ without
    unforgivable. “There is no repentance for the angels after Their fall,
    just as there is no repentance for men after death.” 272

     

    394 Scripture Witnesses to the disastrous Influence of the
    one Jesus calls “a murderer from the beginning”, who would even try
    to divert Jesus from the mission received from historical Father.273 “The
    reason the Son of God Appeared to Destroy the WAS works of the devil. “274
    In the Gravest STI Consequences of These works mendacious seduction That Was
    The man led to Disobey God.

     

    395 The power of Satan is, nonetheless, not infinite. He is
    only a creature, powerful from the Fact That I is pure spirit, but still a
    creature. I cannot Prevent the building up of God’s reign. Although Satan may
    act in the world out of hatred for God and His kingdom in Christ Jesus, and
    although action may cause grave historical revile – of a spiritual nature and,
    Indirectly, events of a physical nature – To Each man and to society, the
    action is permitted by divine providence With Strength and gentleness Which
    guides human and cosmic history. It is a great mystery That Should permit
    diabolical activity Providence, but “we know That God works in everything
    for good with Those who love him.” 275

    Pablo is just full of it. He is probably Brietbart’s cousin. He’ll have an aneurysm when the President is reelected.

    Truly. Neil is probably trying on his outfit, circa 1776 right now. Somehow this dolt has convinced himself he is a patriot…. of the teabagger sort.

    Royal,
    What you are really saying is that you subscribe to Modernist, heretical views.  Catholic belief (until Vatican II) is seamless.  There is no “Northern European” vs “Southern European Tradition”.  You are much like the accommodating Hellenistic Jews who wanted to make nice with Antiochus Epiphanies VI as opposed to the Maccabbeus and his family, who fought for true religion.

    Praise God for Santorum’s
    truthfulness, but now is not the time to back down Rick! Your comment
    about Satan IS RELEVANT: Satan is attacking the United States and we’re
    willing accomplices by not worshiping the one true Almighty God of
    Israel, blaspheming God’s name, legalizing abortion and same-sex
    marriages, defrauding individual Wall St investors, worshiping false
    idols (celebrities), not honoring our parents, thieving from foreclosed
    home owners, envying what others own, and committing adultery on our
    spouses ~ “Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness;
    instead, expose them.” Ephesians 5:11
