I heard on the radio today that a Catholic diocese here in Fort Worth had issued a letter telling Catholics that if they vote for a candidate that supports legal abortion they'll burn in hell. It was read in Mass last Sunday in some, if not all, Fort Worth churches.
Here's my opinion. Whether it's a Catholic, Muslim, Baptist, Buddhist, Morman, Hindu, or Jewish religion, you have no business messing with the politics. If you choose to do so, you need to lose your tax-exempt status! I think it's fine to come out against abortion if that's what the church stance is, but to suggest that voting for a particular candidate is "morally impermissible" goes too far.
I'm all for free speech - but only for those that pay taxes.
What do you think?
