Brooke speaks with Nansook Hong, author of In the Shadow of the Moons (Little Brown). Ms. Hong was the former daughter-in-law of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church. She broke away from the church, and left her husband, Hyo Jin, Moon”s heir apparent.

If you think about how close it was in 2000, does anyone think that without Moon’s billions spent over the last couple decades, propping up theocratic/fascist thought, (Moon owns and has personally directed the Washington Times) that Bush would have been close enough to steal the election? Not a chance. Billions to right wing think tanks, the paper, individuals(Moon bailed out Falwell for one of many)

Moon, In his mind and in fact, had more to do with selecting our president than ANY American. Tell that to your mother and see what she says as she pulls that rpub lever. haha

Look at our world. Moon is all over it too, his group is handing out membership cards so they can identify one another when and if, the world’s economies collapse. You can lump Moon any way you want, make no mistake, he or whoever is behind him is driving the bus and the conservatives put him there.

Moon IS laughing his ass off.
Hey this is the tip of the iceberg…

Moon gave a million bucks to Bush’s presidential library, what would the hypocrites on the right say if Clinton took that kind of money? hahaha We live in a strange world. Our conservative breathern have no idea what they are doing. I know ten people right now who I can listen to Rush today and tell you what they will think they thought up tomorrow. They are auto pilot and Rove knows it. Scary stuff. Moonies, I have read threads at FR where they “thank God for Rev. Moon” you think the right doesn’t have some serious mental health problems?

And Catholics for Choice is neither.

St. Augustine (354-430) condemned abortion because it breaks the connection between sex and procreation. 1 However, in the Enchiridion, he says, “But who is not rather disposed to think that unformed fetuses perish like seeds which have not fructified” â?? clearly seeing hominization as beginning or occurring at some point after the fetus has begun to grow. He held that abortion was not an act of homicide. Most theologians of his era agreed with him.

In a disciplinary sense, the general agreement at this time was that abortion was a sin requiring penance if it was intended to conceal fornication and adultery.

I wonder how many fundie Republicans we could catch with THAT particular net?

Lots of information here. No, the Church has not always been against abortion – it was considered a moral wrong but not to the point of excommunication.

Incidentally, the Church’s stance on the death penalty is even more recent, and less theologically binding, than its stance on abortion.

They get to further divide the Catholic Church (anyone who thinks conservatism is a friend of Catholicism is damb fool.)

This subject will be huge fodder for deceitful, hypocritical conservatives on talk radio and Fox TV.

The question is, do the pro-choicer’s/democrats have the balls to challenge the ‘conservatives’ on the same front?

Conservatives work with, take money from, honor and empower Rev. Moon. Why not demand that these hypocrites DENOUNCE their ‘sugar daddy’ and ‘go to’ guy. Moon claims he is the Messiah, says Jesus Christ FAILED and Moon says he detests ‘American style democracy’….all in all, I’d say it is high time the conservatives go on TV and disown their savior, Moon. You are with him or against him. They should denounce Moon or STOP CALLING THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS.

George Bush 43 shouldn’t call Moon ‘the man with the vision’ while helping him gain credibility and power and then call himself a “Christian” …this is fraud.

George Bush 41 shouldn’t have Moon sponsor his inaugural prayer luncheon, then hand out moonie literature afterward promoting Moon, and then claim to be “Christian”…

Republican’s should not work with Moon to implement his agenda of driving us towards a theocratic government and still call themselves ‘defender’s of the constitution’…this is a fraud.

From: http://www.au.org/churchstate/cs6013.htm
“The “faith-based summit” itself was sponsored by Watts (R-Okla.), Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and other top congressional Republicans, but efforts to promote it at the grassroots level were turned over to a Moon organization . . .

While a number of Republican-aligned private organizations have promoted President George W. Bushâ??s religion funding scheme, only Moon won an official relationship with the Republican leadership to rally grassroots forces on behalf of the “faith-based” summit. This enhanced status enabled him to do grassroots political organizing â?? and religious recruitment â?? with the apparent blessing of Bush and his GOP allies in Congress.

Conservatives who claim to support the constitution and claim to be ‘Christians’ should go on TV and denounce their ‘sugar daddy’ their ‘go to’ guy for the last twenty years. They should beg forgiveness from Jesus Christ and when they are done they can beg forgiveness from the American people…they should admit their movement is real evil and would not be in power without the systematic deceit foisted on the American public over the last twenty years. The conservative movement in America is nothing more than the John Birch Society on steroids. It’s short sightedness will destroy the nation/world as it is well on its way to doing.

Moon is laughing his ass off.

The bishop must have forgotten that we’re all sinners, I suppose.

And a few columnists who write opinion pieces?

I guess Jonah Goldberg is off the hook…

I guess that means Catholics have to inform their own consciences.

Public policy, when made properly, is based on what impact it will have on a society – not whether or not it agrees with some narrow definition of morality…
