Cranky Baptist spreads Anti-Catholic hate.

//In an interview with National Public Radio, former President Jimmy Carter said that Catholic teaching on women’s ordination has led to the abuse of women throughout the world.

“The fact that the Catholic Church, for instance, prohibits women from serving as priests or even deacons gives a kind of a permission to male people all over the world, that well, if God thinks that women are inferior, I’ll treat them as inferiors,” said Carter. “If she’s my wife, I can abuse her with impunity, or if I'm an employer, I can pay my female employees less salary.//

Jimmy Carter is making me prouder about the fact that my first presidential election vote was against him.

So are we at a point where we are beginning to pine for the halcyon days of the Carter   Administration?????

Jimmy Carter says that "U.S. has no functioning democracy."

Those were good times.

And to continue the theme...

Can you imagine this kind of prejudice directed at any non-Christian group?

Jimmy Carter reaches back into his redneck Southern Baptist roots and declares Catholics to belong to the Anti-Christ....where "anti-christ" means not conforming to his cultural views.

In a TIME Magazine interview with Elizabeth Dias published Sunday (H/T The Deacon’s Bench), prior to the start of a Carter Center conference titled Mobilizing Faith for Women, former President Jimmy Carter blithely blamed the Catholic Church for the abuse and oppression of women throughout history and across cultures. No veiled hints here:

". . . I think there’s a slow, very slow, move around the world to give women equal rights in the eyes of God. What has been the case for many centuries is that the great religions, the major religions, have discriminated against women in a very abusive fashion and set an example for the rest of society to treat women as secondary citizens. In a marriage or in the workplace or wherever, they are discriminated against. And I think the great religions have set the example for that, by ordaining, in effect, that women are not equal to men in the eyes of God.

This has been done and still is done by the Catholic Church ever since the third century, when the Catholic Church ordained that a woman cannot be a priest for instance but a man can. A woman can be a nurse or a teacher but she can’t be a priest. This is wrong, I think."

Not content with that ignorant and intolerant slur (which tarred Judaism, Christianity, and Islam on the side, though unnamed) Mr Carter went on to foment anti-Catholic sentiment by urging Americans to be wary of Catholics in the workplace:

"To repeat myself in a way, I think that what the major religious leaders say is used by others who discriminate against women as justification for their human rights abuse. For instance if an employer, who might be otherwise enlightened, if he is a religious person and he sees that, he might be a Catholic, and a Catholic does not let women be priests, then why should he pay his women employees an equal pay [as men]?"

Hey, Jimmy, don't like Catholic teachings, then don't become Catholic.

Until then, shut the hell up with your senile rantings about how Catholic employers are just waiting to discriminate against women employees.  That's hateful BS and you should know.

Not to worry, Catholicism will be around long after Jimmy Carter is forgotten.
