Dear CatoRenasci,
Certainly, if the non-Catholic majority of a nation found themselves unalterably opposed to Catholic morality, it would not be unreasonable for them to be wary of electing a Catholic as the nation's executive. That's part of the nature of the game.
The solution, however, is not for Catholics to disobey the Law of God, but rather for the Catholics within a nation to better evangelize their neighbors and compatriots, that they might be more open to the moral and spiritual truths of Catholicism.
To be able to participate and exercise political power in a nation, especially where we are not a majority, is a blessing from God for Catholics.
However, it is not one to be grasped at if in extending our fist to reach it, we must let go of our faith.
Pope Benedict has acted wisely regarding the Spanish situation.

Interesting ping.
but can you all see where if you replace Catholic with Islam
in that same paragraph we all get the heebejeebies, but the Muslims believe the exact same thing, it's their duty to bring you into their way of thinking.......
