Politics: Obama bows to Saudi king

[bamacon]

LCN sez:
If someone converts from, say, Catholicism to Episcopalian, what is a more accurate label for that person: Episcopalian or non-practicing Catholic?

You mean "counterfeit Catholics"?

I just don't know what we're gonna do about this. I mean, here we've got this guy who thought it would be proper manners to bow to a king and it apparently isn't. I mean...my 201K is never going to recover from this.

We prefer the term "Whiskeypalians" if you please. Or if you must, Catholic-lite.

I would think there should be no conversion. Aren't Anglicans considered "Catholic"....though not the sort that Rome would like? They've been trying that power grab for centuries.

Anglican Catholics pay homage to the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Roman Catholics pay homage to the Archbishop of Rome(aka, The Pope).

I would think there should be no conversion. Though, the Romanists would beg to differ. Since they've been trying that power grab for centuries.

Two big differences:

1. Anglicans don't believe in transubstantiation.
2. Anglicans don't believe that God speaks directly to the pontiff.

There have been ongoing negotiations to reconcile the two religions for some time, but they keep coming back to these two points.

That's good to know. I'd figured ya'll were just divorcin' Catholics.

All candidates for POTUS should have to attend President School. If they flunk President School they are off the ticket. Flunk a subject they have to repeat the coarse.

Catholics can divorce. it's the remarrying that gets them excommunicated.

Based on what we've had as candidates over the last 20 years or so, I don't think there are any that would have even passed the entrance exam.

Amen. Wherever you find four Whiskeypalians you will find a fifth.
