CNA/EWTN News - Speaking out on political issues is not only a right, but a duty, for religious leaders, said Bishop Thomas J. Tobin of Providence in a recent interview… “What we try and do is take the Gospel, the basis of our faith, and apply it to the issues of the day.”… “Now, some people will like it, some people won’t like it; some will agree, some will not. I think we have not just a right but the need to be involved in these public conversations.”
