but if she is elected president, she will already have the emergency powers necessary (provided for her by Obama's executive orders) to do exactly that and much more.
and if the Church is declared to be a menace to the regime, the doors would be shut.
I think that we all need to remember is that, even if we occasionally encounter pugilistic Catholics on this board, and even though we occasionally read articles about confrontational bishops and priests on this board--the Catholic Church is not confrontational and pugilistic--nor should they be!
We shouldn't judge the Catholic Church based on its most dysfunctional members.
If you look at the dealings Pope Francis, Cardinal Dolan, Cardinal Wuerl and other church leaders have had with federal and state leaders, they are very balanced. They support and encourage the good things governments do and encourage them to alter their policies in other ways. In both parties there are policies the Church supports and policies the Church opposes.
So let's not judge the Church on the basis of its shrillest attack dogs--the government won't, either.
