By Fr. Michael P. Orsi, LifeSitenews - Clergy are often reluctant to take a public stand on political issues. They don’t want to risk alienating members of their congregations, or they fear challenges to their churches’ tax exempt status... My view is that religious leaders must get involved in politics. Indeed, they have an obligation to address important public questions. Elections determine who will hold temporal power in the nation — and, therefore, who gets to determine the civic atmosphere in which people attempt to live their faith.
