Peoria bishop compares Obama's actions to Stalin, Hitler [View all]

"The Anti-Defamation League wants an apology from Peoria's bishop following a recent homily comparing President Barack Obama's policies to those of despots Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.


During the message at St. Mary's Cathedral in Peoria, Roman Catholic Bishop Daniel Jenky contended social services for Catholics could be eliminated if Obama's directive to include contraceptives in health insurance continues. Jenky went on to compare the actions to past cultural wars against the Catholic Church."



Except for those Nazis the Church harbored after World War II. This was completely out of line and a huge misplay in policy by the church. He certainly does not represent me as a Christian.
