Thanks -- seems reasonable to me. It is clear the statute intent is to limit the "political" aspect.

For example, the Church's stance on abortion is based on pure moral grounds. But that is inextricably tied to the political world. That makes sense.

But for a Cardinal to tell people to break the law on supposed moral grounds is pure politics.

##"Cardinal to tell people to break the law on supposed moral grounds is pure politics."## I agree in the breaking of the law. There are some though, that feel their morals are bigger than the Church, Of course this is not a dogma of the Church. You can either way with it.

What bothers me is that issues such as gay marriage gets little response from the pulpit.

Breaking away from the British crown was once a pulpit issue, as was abolition.
