More symptoms of insanity on the American right

[fpb]

In yesterday's American Thinker, a man with the Italian name of Bonelli wrote the following, extremely offensive statement:

The United States is different from most other countries in many ways. One unique aspect of our country is that our elected officials, officers of the court, and the military, all pledge their allegiance to the Constitution and not to an office, individual or party. This assures continuity of the ideals set forth by the founders.

As an Italian citizen, I have personally sworn to defend the Constitution of my country when I served in the Italian army. The presumption involved in this ignorant display of insular arrogance is an insult to every constitutional government in the world.

Well my Protestant friend living in Diest Belgium was turned off by both Catholic parishes in her area when she went to one for a First Communion and they rewrote the Lord's Prayer and during the homily never once mentioned Jesus or the Eucharist, but only caterpillars turning into butterflies. I myself have been very blessed in the priests I have had. However there are still small liturgical abuses in my own parish. Small, but there. I was suprized last week to find a post on the American Papist blog in which he posted a video of a Mass said with the priest's dog taking the Missal out of the church. Then I found out it was in the parish in the neighboring city.
