Hughes Asks Catholics To Pray For President Bush, Iraqi Civilians More Stories

(New Orleans, LA) -- The head of the New Orleans archdiocese is asking Louisianans to pray for the safety of civilians and troops during the U.S. military campaign in Iraq. Archbishop Alfred Hughes made the plea in an announcement released Thursday, also asking that his followers not second-guess President Bush. Hughes's statement comes as the military conflict escalates, requiring many local troops to be deployed overseas.

I could take the war comments of the Pope somewhat serious if he would have been as QUICK and as HARD on the Catholic Priest child molesters and kiddy porn lovers as well as the cover ups that followed by the Catholic Church. :evil: This has been a very interesting comparrison to me. Just a thought.

That is a good point, Tyler. He should be as adamantly opposed to molesting children as to killing people. Speaking against both would appear to be his duty. Every bureacracy has its good-old-boy network, unfortunately, and one of the above was too close to home for him.

That was tacky Aub. :thumbsdo:

OK>>I will try and add some levity to this thread as well. I do not think it will offend anybody on BB&B. At least I hope not.

Champ967, when I find occasion to agree with Tyler, you call my comment tacky.
Tyler, that is an outstanding joke. I suspect even the Pope would laugh at it.
I wonder how it translates into the Polish language?

[TYLERTECHSAS]

I wonder how that joke translates into the Polish language?

It doesn't really matter because the Polish wouldn't get it! Besides, they tried eating fish and found that the scales and bones were a tad tough to shallow. :wink:

[Champ967]

Fine. Tyler's remarks were tacky too.

Tacky tacky tacky. :thumbsdo:

If we're going to be so crass on this board, cant we look at least look at the NC State girls? Or the Techster Volleyball team?

[TYLERTECHSAS]

TACKY, I can accept most of the time. However, if insulting, I would appologize ops: . Most of mine above are just jokes. The child molester/kiddy porn comments I stand by. NO EXCUSES on the long overdue reactions and lack thereof by the title of this thread and his staff. OK, time to find another "joke of the day" :wink: .

[cgraves562]

Great joke Tyler! I have actually heard it before. It was told by a priest during mass one Sunday.

[TYLERTECHSAS]

It was told by a priest during mass one Sunday.

Now that is cool!
