He's effectively telling Catholics, and Evangelical Christians, that they have a duty to vote in line withChurch Doctrine and to work to impose their values on the larger populous. Yes, I recognize that people have been doing that for a long time, but that its accpetbale to demand such action in the paper of record for the country is scary. In 40 years, we've gone from the Country beeing vigilant to make sure Rome did not dictate to JFK to a country where its accpeted and acceptable for the Church to baldly admit its trying to inflict its policies on a secular government.
Am I too Chicken Littleish here or is this shit as scary as it seems?

All across the nation's big cities Dems are going into Church's where Reverands are telling their congregations they have to vote Democrat. You're in a swing state- put on an "urban format" radio station. Al Sharpton is on the airwaves at every commercial break telling people they had better vote for Kerry or they'll likely lose everything they have.
So what is the difference?
