(... But to support a president who favors capital punishment is okay, and sending thousands off to kill and die for oil is a horse of a different color.)

..and the Catholic Church is not the only political forum that should be paying taxes!

For the record the Vatican is Anti Capital Punishment.

The Vatican is anti-capital punishment. Oh, cool! That must mean Father Douchebag was telling his parishioners not to vote for George W. who,(back when he was governor, Texas) was executing one prisoner every two and a half weeks.
What? He did not? Oh, Guess he was preaching forgiveness on those Sundays... I get it. (and when women and children were being bombed during the Baghdad invasion....)

Separation of church and state is a political and legal doctrine that government and religious institutions are to be kept separate and independent from each other.

This isn't a free-speech issue, and churches don't belong in presidential races.

Churches, like other nonprofit groups, make a deal with the government. They get tax-exempt status in exchange for not injecting themselves into political races.

“Please, preacher: Leave those things alone...”
(Pink Floyd paraphrase)
or let Fr. Newman's church start filling out the IRS forms.

I guess even his bosses are getting nudgy:

I have to strongly disagree with the statement ,"war for oil" For to reasons
1. we havent seen a drop of Iraqi oil in the U.S.
2. I believe George W went to war because of the attempt on his dad's life in Iraq and I think it was a settling the score war.
The only two Presidents that have brought full scale ground war in my lifetime have the same last name, makes me kind of hope jeb doesnt run. Having said that I would rather the term alqada in Iraq rather than alqada in America.

Almond Joy,
“That must mean Father Douchebag was telling his parishioners not to vote for George W. who,(back when he was governor, Texas) was executing one prisoner every two and a half weeks.”

No hardly, it just means he’s of the same ilk as, Pat Robertson, Jesse Jackson, Dobson, and Al Sharpton. They are hardly spokesmen for the Vatican, any of them.

“(and when women and children were being bombed during the Baghdad invasion....)”

That remark is equally as ignorant as the one in this Youtube link made by the President Elect!!

Religion is the Opiate of the people, too bad Opium isn't legal too...

Danny:
That Youtube link actually makes me sorry that I did not vote for Obama.
I feel like I am an old geezer, now that I see what is happening with this guy- but I think you may be a lot older! LOL

Hey anonymous or gutless whichever you prefer,
get beck to me about your feelings of guilt in about a year.

If I hear about war for oil ONE MORE TIME, I'm going to SCREAM. I'm so sick of hearing it. Do you REALLY think those people who were being killed by Saddam gave a shit about the reasons we were there? I think they were just glad some freak who had the power to kill them WASN'T in power anymore. Call me naive but I don't think it was about oil. I think that Bush saw people were being killed and he stepped in to do something where the gutless UN did nothing. And by the way, it WAS revealed that Jacques Chiracs son DID have some connection with Saddam. How come NO ONE has mentioned that? I keep thinking of the situation with the Holocaust where no one intervened. This time someone did and he gets the shit kicked out of him for doing so. Ask the people in Iraq if they really think it was about oil. The only ones complaining are the terrorists. I still want to know if anyone read the UN resolutions that Saddam violated. I looked them up. Did any of you?
