Although I am not Roman Catholic (anymore), I am greatly concerned when a man of the cloth is sanctioned by his superiors for instructing his flock to live by godly principles.
And, I must heartily add my own "AMEN" to his prayer (above).

Another Prayer for Obama
Although I am not Roman Catholic (anymore), I am greatly concerned when a man of the cloth is sanctioned by his superiors for instructing his flock to live by godly principles.
And, I must heartily add my own "AMEN" to his prayer (above).

In addition, let me borrow this from someone:
"When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.*
(I add...)
When they come for the Mormons,
Will I remain silent
because I am not a Mormon?
When they come for the Catholics,
Will I remain silent
because I am not a Catholic?
When they come for me,
will there be anyone left?
* "First they came…" is a poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group.
