Iris, I apologize for responding to you; it could be to anyone. If your innuendo about Mahony were true, what would that say to you? Where is a sense of Christ's love for his children in this discourse? What does your religion really mean to you? How do your objections advance Christ's message of love over law?

I am curious as to where you see your authority or your obligation arising to undertake such a defense. Does it advance Christ's message for you to judge, in spite of Christ's admonition not to judge? From where, really, does your anger and appetite for confrontation arise?

The Church is a powerful political force that has as its objective exclusion (if you differ). Christ's message is one of love over law and is inclusive. If Mass is the celebration of Agape, it is not the place for for political displays at all, either for or AGAINST a position. Where is the example of Christ's love in Pence's action and in the posted reactions? This is not a political matter, it is a question of how we emulate Christ when faced with difficult circumstances.
