The Church is not in the business of judging these people. The Church is in the business of saving souls. Iam quite as anti-illegal as you and probably ready for more drastic steps against the problem than most other folks but the Church, in seeking out its children is not part of the problem. It is not in the political business.

"It is not in the political business."

Actually, the Church's demands we change or ignore our laws most certainly IS getting involved in "political business".

What claptrap and liberalspeak.

If the Catholic Church (or any other Christian denomination) is not in the business of judging, why are the Ten Commandments used as a judging criteria?

If nobody is ever judged, why do we need religions at all? And why would we have to "save souls" if the good and evil in all souls are never judged?

I could write a 5-page essay on the above oxymoronic statement. But it's a belief typical of New Age clerics who judge not, lest they be judged.

Clerics in search of causes should remember the Bible says render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's........like obeying laws.
