After a meeting with the pastor of his Newark diocese parish, the senator announced that he would, “look for other options to express my faith and will probably join another Christian church.” This politician made the right decision. I'm not being sarcastic here. This man obviously wants a religion where the Mind of Man reigns supreme, where God's eternal Word can be subverted to the will of his humanistic ideology.
I can think of several "churches" where he would be very much at home. He can show up every week for "worship", be able to claim piety for public purposes, and have none of his beliefs challenged.
Does anyone remember that this is a secular nation? The Vatican and all other religious bodies have no business interfering in political matters.
We are either a "free nation" or a phony nation. What freedom are we defending and promising to other countries if our churches are allowed to try and control politicians?
They should lose their tax deductions and register as lobbists or stay out of secular affairs.
