31. I think that many non-Catholics see the Church as much more of
a political animal than Catholics do, just as many of us also see the Southern Baptist Convention, The Liberty Foundation, the Christian Coalition and the 700 Club as political organizations rather than religious. And I think that some people might simply be wondering whether there was a *political* motive for the Church's involvement in this movement, just as many perceive moves by the SBC to be political rather than spiritual.


I hope that my post doesn't come across as anti-Catholic, because I'm not. I think they're just as crazy as the Baptists, Methodists, Jews, Muslims, etc., though not quite as nuts as the Southern Apostolics. ;)

(and please take that in the light hearted way it was intended)
