Sins I am catholic and that is truly not the way the church is suppose to act. I don't get any of the churchs that have to meddle into politics. You would think after the spanish inquisition and all the other wrongs that have occured in history from all denominations, that all churches would simply focus on the spirit and not on politics. I think our founding fathers really got it right with the separation of church and state. I hate to see a priest, minister, preacher whatever they are called trying to force their political views on anyone. It is bad for everyone, bad for the church and I think goes against God.
I was always proud of my local priest who when asked said " my work is with God not Politicans". I guess some others in my church are not wise enough to follow that my friend.
I think it is terrible and that priest should be ashamed just like many of the evangelicals who try to force others to vote the way they like because of their position.
No religious figure as I see it has the right to ask people to give up their right to vote as their heart tells them. Their place is the business of God not Man as I see it.
