“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Somebody needs to make a Star Wars-themed poster with Bachman as Skywalker to Ron Paul’s Kenobi. (over the past year Bachman has started hanging out with The Man and his weekly liberty seminars at his Capitol Hill office)
Reminds me of that Serge Gainsbourg-Brigitte Bardot video of Gainsbourg’s campy song “Comic Strip.” “Shebam! Pow! Blop! Whiz!”
She really does more harm than good.
Ahh I love Rep Bachmann. She and Marsha Blackburn (Rep from TN) would make a groovy ticket. The Left hates well-spoken conservative women.. if you google Miss Bachmann you’ll find a real trove of mindless, wicked loathing
This woman often says odd, unfounded things. You really want to be her fellow-traveler? Ugh.
Timothy – Bachmann led a rally Thursday of 10,000 people against the horrible, poisonous health care bill, which would enshrine abortion, and then euthanasia as government-provided services. What did your own ‘fellow traveler’ do yesterday?
Forgive my ignorance, but who is that woman ? ‘Wonder Woman’ ????
From Wikipedia:
“Bachmann is a member of a church that is part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, whose doctrine teaches that the Roman Catholic papacy is the Antichrist identified in Scripture.[18]”
Far be it from me to question the veracity of Wikipedia…
But many, many protestants would find similar anti-Romish sentiment in their founding documents and ‘official beliefs’. It doesn’t have anything to do with her value as a political leader (unless she is out whipping up No Popery sentiments)
Both Timothy and mattmcg make interesting points. Here’s a fairly good summary of the “Does Bachmann think the Pope is the Anti-Christ” debate from last year’s election in the journal “Charis,” a publication of Wisconsin Lutheran College, a WELS institution:
“According the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune (on October 30—just in time for Reformation and only a week before the election), during a live televised debate between two candidates for Minnesota’s Sixth District Congressional seat, WCCP reporter Pat Kessler said to Republican Michele Bachmann: “The church you belong to is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, which, it says, regards the Roman Catholic pope as the antichrist. Is this true? Do you share the views of your church? And why should any Catholic in the Sixth District vote for you if it is true?” Bachmann was reported to have called this charge “a false statement” and “religious bigotry.” She said: “I love Catholics. I’m a Christian, and my church does not believe that the pope is the antichrist. That’s absolutely false.” Bachmann spokeswoman Connie Siama added, “Good grief,that’s ridiculous.”
In short order, however, the Star Tribune referenced http://www.wels.net, which corroborates what Kessler alleged and Bachmann denied. “We thereby affirm that we identify this ‘antichrist’ with the papacy as it is known today,” the site explains, although “this neither means nor implies a blanket condemnation of all members of the Roman Catholic Church, for despite all the errors taught in that church, the Word of God is still heard there.”

In summary it seems that Bachmann doesn’t hold this position but that her church perhaps still does teach this. And since she apparently has spoken at least once in an event endorsed and supported by the Archdiocese: http://totustuuscyo.com/bna_09.html it would be nice to have this issue cleared up.
