And, I'm sad to say, even Mary-Anne Glendon compromised herself by accepting an appointment from Bush. Where was she, for example, when Dick Cheney, who supports embryonic stem-cell research, spoke at ND?<br /><br />The US Church needs to find a way of advocating its teaching on life without giving the impresion that it ia a pack of rusted-on Republicans pining for the days of Dubya!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460768490431892231.post-6738109402696060212009-05-21T02:46:53.545+00:002009-05-21T02:46:53.545+00:00Dear Afro Seminarian, you will be aware that the n...Dear Afro Seminarian, you will be aware that the new secular statesmen are currently proposing a new vision for the relationship between Church and State, a vision which is based upon a new secular 'spin' about 'faith' - faith in the light of the secular vision for humanity.. The vision which statesmen such as Obama and Blair are placing in the popular arena for a dialogue between secular society and people of 'faith', is totally different, and in some ways, at odds with the way in which the Church looks at the world. If we applaud these statesmen in such contexts as this one, what are we saying about the real relationship between Faith and the world, which is Transformation in Christ? Be discerning! Balir, Obama and others are very skilfull operators, but our mission does not lie with them, but with Christ!Fr Richard Aladicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063302398661651882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460768490431892231.post-76168241330826510002009-05-20T03:06:13.730+00:002009-05-20T03:06:13.730+00:00They are applauding because he is the President of...They are applauding because he is the President of the United States.<br /><br />Simple.Afro Seminarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15880407765317550979noreply@blogger.com
