In other news, Mosque a few blocks from ground zero
"It’s simply wrong for Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin, public figures who frequently reference their Christian values, to malign all Muslims by comparing this cultural center and mosque with a radical ideology that led to the horrific attacks of 9-11," said Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK, a national lobbying group that advocates Catholic social justice. "We fail to honor those killed by terrorists when we betray the bedrock principle of religious freedom that has guided our democracy for centuries."

Taken from a faux-news article, but very well said on her part.

2. Ground zero mosque from a truly Christian and American point of view
"It’s simply wrong for Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin, public figures who frequently reference their Christian values, to malign all Muslims by comparing this cultural center and mosque with a radical ideology that led to the horrific attacks of 9-11," said Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK, a national lobbying group that advocates Catholic social justice.

3. We should listen to a Catholic harp about 'religious freedom for centuries'?

4. notice how Faux was sure to point out
that Sister Simone works for social justice.... and of course, that's meant to be a bad thing.
