Re: The United States of America

Our Founding Fathers gave us a means for reform. The first is the electoral process. The second means of reform in very extreme cases of complete tyranny is the Second Amendment. The Declaration of Independence goes so far as to state that is our “duty” to overthrow a corrupt government.

What would you suggestion for getting rid of the spiritually corrupt leadership in the Catholic Church? I don’t see where one exists.

Public pressure and speaking at church conventions is about the only thing I can think of. I wrote the letter to help Christians inform each other and challenge their leaders if they decide to support illegal immigration.

It's called the Holy Spirit.

That's why I have repeatedly asked you to pray.

O'Malley is right. God will take care of it. He's done so in far worse situations throughout Church (and of course, secular) history. I forget who said it, but it's true..."work like it all depends on you, and pray like it all depends on God".
