Boehner Calls for More Objections to Obama Adviser who Attacked The Catholic Church and Accused Pope of ‘Hurting People in the Name of Jesus’

(CNSNews.com) - Friday, May 08, 2009
A homosexual-rights activist whom President Obama appointed last month to a White House advisory council had--just three weeks before his appointment--posted a statement on the Web site of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s most prominent homosexual-rights organization, accusing Pope Benedict XVI, leader of the Roman Catholic Church, of “hurting people in the name of Jesus.”

The activist had previously posted statements on the HRC Web site accusing the Catholic Church of “insulting” Jesus and of “sending a message that violence and human rights abuses against LGBT people are acceptable.”

In March, the HRC also posted a photograph of the pope and a statement attacking him on a new Web site the group created that month that it says is designed for “calling out those who maliciously use lies and misinformation to interfere with the LGBT community’s path to equality.”

President Obama appointed the HRC activist, Harry Knox, to his Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships on April 6.

Knox was then, and remains, director of the HRC’s Religion and Faith Program. The HRC describes itself as “America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality.”

On the day Obama appointed Knox as one of his advisers, the HRC posted a statement by Knox about his new role in the administration.

In the statement, Knox said, “[O]f course, we will support the President in living up to his promise that government has no place in funding bigotry against any group of people.”
