Reply #8: Where should the line between politics and religion be drawn?

[Matilda]

If the Church is going to take a stand against a pro-choice
candidate, should they also not have a moral obligation to take
an equally strong stand against a president who has taken his
country to war on a deliberately false pretext, and repeatedly
lied to his people about the results of his actions, not least
the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians?

If they are not going to get involved on every issue that involves
lying and hypocrisy, then perhaps they should just butt out of
politics altogether.

But then, I believe there are times when the Church should be
involved, as the liberation theologists were in Latin America,
with good cause.

It's a serious issue, and one I've often thought about, and I do
think it has to be all or nothing, but I'm not sure which.
