And, in passing, wonder just how such a man could get appointed to begin with:
Several Catholic leaders have issued a letter to President Obama calling for the ouster of Harry Knox, who has severely criticized Pope Benedict XVI and other Catholic Church leaders, from President Obama’s Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
Knox is the director of the religion and faith program at the Human Rights Campaign, a homosexual activist group.
Knox’s selection as one of the members of the advisory council stirred an angry response from Catholics, as Knox insisted he stood by previous comments calling Pope Benedict XVI “morally reprehensible” for not supporting the use of condoms…
…In 2007, Knox called it “immoral and insulting to Jesus” when the bishop of Cheyenne, Wyoming instructed that an activist lesbian couple not receive Communion.
The Bay Area Reporter in 2009 also quoted Knox calling the Knights of Columbus “foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression,” and said they followed “discredited leaders,” including bishops and Pope Benedict.
Prominent Catholic figures including House Republican Leader John Boehner, Catholic League Presidnet Bill Donohue, American Life League’s Judie Brown, and members of the Family Research Council have expressed their concern to Obama, citing Knox’s remarks as proof he is “unfit to serve” on an advisory board billed as fostering interfaith cooperation.
Can’t get a lot of cooperation from people you not only hate, but demonstrate you hate on repeated occasions. Just how does a bigot like Knox even get considered for a position designed to foster cooperation? What’s next? The Grandmaster of the KKK to run the United Way?
Knox has to go – and Obama has to apologize for being within a country mile of such a person.
