Make no mistake, the current angst mounted the Pope is not about child abuse but about the Leftist disdain for the Christian faith. Joining in the battle against the Christian religion is Christopher Hitchens, a confused and despondent atheist, often touted as some kind of authority on God by the likes of MSNBC and CNN, and the equally confused singer, Sinead O'Conner. Read this LA Times news brief.
Sinead O'Connor: 'There should be a full criminal investigation of the pope'
Years after her controversial 'Saturday Night Live' appearance, the Irish singer is still at odds with the Catholic Church, saying it must come clean about sexual-abuse allegations.
Reporting from Bray, Ireland — She shot to fame 20 years ago with her shaved head, chiseled cheeks and haunting rendition of the song "Nothing Compares 2 U." Then she gained notoriety when she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II on American TV, calling him "the enemy" and urging people to fight child abuse.
Sinead O'Connor is still singing. And she's still speaking out against abuse -- only now her 1992 stunt on "Saturday Night Live" almost seems prescient as the Roman Catholic Church faces a growing catalog of complaints about child sexual and physical assault by priests in her Irish homeland and across Europe. end of script.
Editor's comments: Note the reference to the torn picture of the Pope, years ago. Again, this is not about child abuse. Rather, it is about ridding the world of the Christian religion, period. Never forget that what is said against the Catholic Church is said against all none Catholic Christian entities.
Understand that Midknight Review is not defending the Catholic Church in the current circumstance. But this review is not about the religious American scene. It is only and primarily about politics. While the child abuse issues need immediate and prayerful attention, we must not lose sight of the fact that the Marxist Left hates Christianity and will use and and all criticism directed at the Church (Catholic, Protestant High Church, Holiness, Pentecostal, or whatever) to divide public opinion and conquer that philosophical push back to evil that is the Christian Faith in its many forms and expression.
