The Apostle Paul spoke about for respect for those folks in government.

I'll be looking for you to obey every leftist dictate (or perhaps I should spell it "diktat") that comes forth from the mouths of elected Democrat Party politicians ... I'll be looking for you to live by every word that comes forth from the mouths of all-holy, divinely anointed Federal Judges. I expect to see not a single letter of disagreement with them issue forth from your keyboard.

Right?

That is why we are called to PRAY FOR THEIR CONVERSION to Christ.

That’s a funny headline. Like they would HAVE to tell everything they hear. That would be the quickest way to end the Catholic Church.

There is a reason why Catholic confession has traditionally been held in a booth where the priest does not see who is giving the confession. The priest cannot reveal what he does not know.

That's nice. I actually agree with that. Of course, it applies to everybody. Meanwhile ... your thoughts on obeying tyrants when they command you do to evil?

Lots of people want to do that. I think some of them might possibly be commenting on this very thread.

....Yet why did St.Paul wrote that part of his letter to the Christian community called Romans in regards to those in public authority?

Turn in those Jews!

Abort your second child!

Inform on your neighbor!

Think it can't happen here? Really?

The time to stop it is while it's still small enough to stop.

Again, I'm seeing idolatry of the Almighty State increasing rapidly in this country.

I will not offer a pinch of incense to The State.

You?

That is WHY D.J.T. was elected President in 2016.

Well if the CC had reported the abuse to law enforcement from the get go the proposed law wouldn’t have been necessary.

You’re really not answering the question.

DJT was elected because opposing tyranny peacefully is much easier than opposing tyranny violently. As previously stated, history is replete with examples of Christians opposing tyrants, sometimes at the cost of their own lives and sometimes at the cost of the tyrants’ lives. We live in a Republic rooted in the forceful rejection of a tyrant king.

Caesar is not God; Caesar is not due ALL tribute, custom, honor, or fear.

Assemblywoman Monica P. Wallace (D-Cheektowaga) is demanding “tribute, custom, honor, or fear” to which the State of New York is not entitled.

The act of tyranny proposed by Assemblywoman Monica P. Wallace (D-Cheektowaga) (Yes, you’re allying yourself with democRATs ...) is neither necessary nor useful for anything good.

It’s not about punishing the guilty or protecting children. It’s about increasing the power of Government Almighty. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s no accident that the arguments in favor of “common sense religion control” mirror the arguments in favor of “common sense gun control”. They’re coming from the same source, for the same purpose, and using the same emotion-driven irrational methods.

This is my last post: Everyday more and more comes out that priest after priest in the world have committed sexual misconduct. The CC didn’t handle it lawfully. What do you expect civil authorities to do to protect children?

Romans Chapter 13, means remember God is the God of order, not of chaos.

There is a time and a place to say a “holy no” to what is wrong. But work to correct the law.

Obeying God is #1,

I expect civil authorities to always act within their God-given (and in our country, Constitutionally mandated) limits. Assemblywoman Monica P. Wallace (D-Cheektowaga), like most of the demonicRAT Party, seeks to act outside those limits.

This is my last post:

Wise choice for both of us ... at this point, we're repeating ourselves.

Obeying God is #1,

And that is why this attempted act of tyranny by Assemblywoman Monica P. Wallace (D-Cheektowaga) should be rejected by the legislature, and if passed and signed it should be disregarded by the people. It deserves a "holy NO!!!"

A Catholic friend who knows lots of stuff tells me that heterosexual men were being turned away from the priesthood in the later days of the gay takeover.

Sorry Sonny - you’re blind devotion to your religion has your mind clouded and you ignore Biblical Truth in favor of your religious beliefs (which have nothing to do with Jesus). If you are that sure of yourself, instead of just telling me I’m wrong, tell me why you’re right............waiting..........still waiting........

You are all over the place today - while I believe even the guilty deserve to have a defender, there’s something wrong with knowing your client actually committed a heinous crime and still defending him or her....of course, since you think priests should be able to do the same thing, without the legalese and 5th Amendment, of course you will refuse to see that as a legally necessary fault.....the laws of men and the laws of God are separate things and Jesus told us to also obey our mortal/governmental “leaders” because they were sanctioned by God.
