Catholic bishops say voters’ souls at stake

by @ 8:10 am on November 17, 2007.

I ask once again … why do religious orginizations have tax-exempt status, when they have become political machines?  If I were Catholic, I’d be asking what scripture of the Bible tells Christians their souls are at risk of damnation, by virtue of who they vote for? 

“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”

 

Proclaiming a sense of new energy and empowerment, the nation’s Roman Catholic bishops on Wednesday issued instructions to Catholic voters that their eternal salvation could be at stake when they cast ballots.

The Chicago Tribune reports …

Bishops emphasized that voters must consider the church’s teachings on abortion and other moral issues when they select a candidate for the White House or any other office. If they don’t, bishops said, it’s not clergy who will judge them but God.
