17. Perhaps the priest

is needed in the mountains of Tibet, where he may actually learn something about unconditional love and spirituality.

Politics and Religion are to be separated - this is yet another thing that is being totally accepted by the public because there are no consequences for breaking this law. Perhaps if the churches tax status were removed they would change their habits.

Without consequences, evil and illegal actions will continue until we will have no laws, the constitution will be worthless, and our entire society will fall to pieces.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that everyone in the United States has the right to practice his or her own religion, or no religion at all. ... The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits government from encouraging or promoting ("establishing&quot religion in any way.

RELIGION AND POLITICS SHOULD NOT MIX - PERIOD. And nobody has the right to say that someone cannot become the religion that they align with spiritually, I don't care what political party you are with. WTF is wrong with this guy? Why do they keep people like him and priests who harm children as part of the Catholic church? This is why conventional religion is fading away.

Find your Creator in the home of your soul. You don't need a building or a human to have a relationship with your higher power. It is ALL within you, always.
