as low as can be reached, they work and hard and find yet lower lows.
Not only does this demonstrate just how classless the dhimmies really are, it demonstrates how little they understand or respect faith.

This is the political equivalent of an obviously-defeated boxer swinging one final wild haymaker before being pounded into the canvas.

...and in most cases re-elected to statewide office Catholics such as Edwin Edwards, John Breaux, Mary Landrieu, John Vitter, and Kathleen Blanco.

Like this ad won't get played in the South state, or drive up Catholic turnout in the North state.

Democratics = bigots? It is utterly amazing to me to see Democratics think that so many people are bigots and this will work on those ignorant rubes. The only thing that it shows to me is that hate for anyone of faith (outside their secular faith). And this comes at the same time that the national party has trying to equate their candidate being the "real" people of faith.

PS Leon, I would make a bet with you that someone won't read the full article and still think you're Catholic...

"I trust I have provided enough evidence to indicate that the Catholic Church deserves a careful examination by non-Catholics. It is not intellectually honest to ignore an institution with such a long and distinguished history and with such an impressively global reach. I am not asking non-Catholics to investigate the claims of my neighborhood minister, but rather am presenting a 2,000-year-old tradition, encompassing giants like Aquinas and Newman, with almost a billion living members, including modern prophets like Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.

Nonetheless, the Catholic Church must live up to her name by incorporating the many Spirit-led movements found outside her walls. For example, the energy and fervor that animate the Baptist and Pentecostal denominations, the stirring biblical preaching of the Lutherans and Calvinists, and the liturgical solemnity of the Anglicans must find expression within Catholicism.

I am thrilled by the recent ecumenical discussions that have resulted in Catholics and Evangelicals discovering what they have in common, in terms of both theology and morality, and as exemplified by joining to oppose abortion and other fruits of an increasingly secular society, but I do not want our Evangelical friends to overlook those beliefs that make Catholicism unique. The challenge is for all Christians to follow Jesus wherever He leads; one significant part of that challenge is to consider seriously the claims of the Catholic Church."

We should remember that Bobby chose Christianity. He was not born into it. As a Protestant, I had often wondered if young Mr. Jindal had chosen Catholicism out of expediency or ambition. Upon reading (er, skimming) the article you linked, I am persuaded he did not.

It would appear from his rather extensive and well-cited writings that his spiritual journey was a significant intellectual exercise for him, and for that I am glad.

Based on the three paragraphs quoted above, I don't see how any thinking Christian could have a problem.

I think that Louisiana has just jumped back to the days of the southern Democrats' KKK and trashing Catholics.

"The same Catholic Church which infallibly determined the canon of the Bible must be trusted to interpret her handiwork; the alternative is to trust individual Christians, burdened with, as Calvin termed it, their "utterly depraved" minds, to overcome their tendency to rationalize, their selfish desires, and other effects of original sin. The choice is between Catholicism's authoritative Magisterium and subjective interpretation which leads to anarchy and heresy."

While the last line may be a bit harsh, what he presents is a pretty standard Catholic argument against sola scriptura. I'm a Democrat, but drudging up this for political gain is utter garbage. Unless Blanco publicly condemns this ad, demands it stop running, and demand that the Louisiana Democratic Party apologize, I hope she gets taken to the cleaners.

Kos was actually the poster who informed his followers of this shocking allegation.

That's right, it was Markos.

I accused them of the internet equivalent of a No Popery Riot and insisted that there would be blowback, which there probably will be. Jindal will go to town on this.

Oh well, dumb as dirt.

Its just shocking how the New Deal Coalition keeps dying without any sign of it changing.

Bobby Jindal / Henry Bonilla 2016

That will make liberals squrm. Haha!

Jindal's opponents aren't the first in either party to exploit sectarian intolerance - no shock or surprise here. The aspect of Jindal's faith I find very troubling is his support for teaching creationism in public schools. Students in Louisiana, who consistently rank lowest in the country in the maths and sciences, deserve better. I have no idea where Jindal's rivals stand on this matter.

when he made a statement back in July that said basically the same thing that Jindal did? If not, I wonder why? Al Mohler weighed in on the Papal statement here, and in that article is a pointer to the statement from the Vatican.

I'm a conservative Evangelical Christian, and Jindal's statements don't offend me in the slightest. He's a Catholic - that's what many Catholics believe (although, as a non-Catholic I may not fully understand what Jindal wrote, and he may not accurately represent the teachings of the church). We Protestants broke away during the Reformation because we didn't believe in a lot of the Catholic Church's doctrine. I wouldn't expect the Catholics to be all lovey-dovey with us, even after all these centuries. Luther kinda got under their skin...
