Now here's a priest who "gets it" A message for all Christians...

The following is a message from Father Richard Perozich, a priest of the Diocese of San Diego:
[...]It can be said of us in America in the year 2010, "O stupid Catholics, who has bewitched you?" We easily go over to pagan ideas, putting aside our faith, our truth, in order to accommodate the evil of people who will not accommodate us! To promote their ideas they attack us personally calling us the far right, ultra-conservative, bigoted, homophobic, hate mongers, holy rollers, and other epithets. This silences many Catholics. It only emboldens me, and it should embolden you also to promote your faith.  read it all- it's a doozy!

Religious leaders of every stripe are not to tell their congregations how to vote; that is if they want to maintain their non-profit tax status. Now if they are truly not political and only religious it would seem they would teach their religion and leave alone political instructions to the members of their congregation.

I believe all churches should be taxed. Speaking of not taxing the rich more because he thinks we are jealous of the rich, is not the Catholic religion. It's his opinion of it.

belinda - you're welcome ;-)

Charlene - you have a right to believe churches should be taxed.

However, you may want to review what the Constitution actually says about separation of church and state.

Well, Amen to that! I'm off to read the doozy.
