"Fiat, fiat, fiat": Catholics need to declare the president as anathema
The formal statement of Anathema goes like this:Wherefore in the name of God the All-powerful, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, of Blessed Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and of all the saints, in virtue of the power which has been given us of binding and loosing in Heaven and on earth, we deprive Barack Hussain Obama himself and all his accomplices and all his abettors of the Communion of the Body and Blood of Our Lord, we separate him from the society of all Christians, we exclude him from the bosom of our Holy Mother the Church in Heaven and on earth, we declare him excommunicated and anathematized and we judge him condemned to eternal fire with Satan and his angels and all the reprobate, so long as he will not burst the fetters of the demon, do penance and satisfy the Church; we deliver him to Satan to mortify his body, that his soul may be saved on the day of judgment.That would pretty much work for me. What about the Catholics among us?

Your Say
Good luck hoping for that, the Roman Catholic Church should have heaved pro-abortion politicians out ages ago and it almost never even is mentioned.

"The Pope? How many journalism departments does he have?"

The sentiment is right, but Obama's not a Catholic, so you can't excommunicate him. But I would concur in doing it to Pelosi.

And Sebelius.

Bill Clinton isn't Catholic either, but he took communion from a Catholic priest who didn't have the guts to tell him to go away. Anathematizing Obama is a protective measure against future Clintonesque arrogance.

I'm pretty sure hanging would work just as well.

...he's already there, I think.

True that Obama is already de facto excommunicate by reason of not being Catholic. It would, however, be a great thing if it were done publicly, solemnly and on TV. Best it were done quickly, too. Thereupon a Te Deum should be sung in every American cathedral, just so nobody misses the point.

And I INSIST the whole thing end with 3-foot tall lit candles being suddenly turned upside down, extinguished on the floor and allowed to fall over like corpses! That excommunication scene in "Becket" is the gold standard.
