[quote=Anonymous]A different viewpoint, OP: if we are really to live our faiths, we can't compartmentalize them to Sunday mornings (or whenever we worship). I don't think it is a bad thing that your priest is asking your to think about how the tenets of your faith inform important social issues. My family attends a conservative Catholic church in the diocese of Arlington, and we hear about political/social issues, too -- mostly abortion. I struggle with some of the positions our pastor says our faith compels (I have been in other Catholic parishes that have a different political bent), but I do think it is important to think about these things. I admire a pastor who is willing to confront the hard issues of the day in the light of the faith on which he (or she, if you're Episcopalian) is instructing you. Obviously there are other important lessons that should be delivered to help us all grow in our individual faiths, but I think the political is relevant, as well. [/quote]
