Blue Springs pastor says he’ll put Obama books back on the shelf

[chat_noir]

The pastor of a Blue Springs Catholic Church and school recently pulled Barack Obama biographies from the school’s library. Today he said he’ll put them back.

St. John LaLande Catholic Church offers preschool and a school for students in kindergarten to eighth grade. Two books about Obama had been added to the collection, which includes other books about American presidents.

The Rev. Ron Elliott said he’d gotten complaints about the Obama books from parishioners. He said he plans to return the books in February or March after the dust settles.

He said the slender books, written on an elementary level, covered Obama’s childhood up to his nomination for president. Elliot, who said he is strongly anti-abortion, noted it is his responsibility as pastor to respond when concerns are raised, given Obama’s stances on abortion.

1. I know a lady who goes to this church

She said the congregation is very upset with the pastor over this. ONE person complained and he took the books out of the school library.
