Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p. Diocese of Pembroke
Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
Seven states in the US have in their state constitution clauses banning Catholics from holding public office. It's not enforceable as the 1st Amendment overrides it but occasionally an elected official is taken to court over it and has to fight it in court. So far they have always won.
ReplyDeleteWhy does no one do anything about it? Because it's not banning Catholics, it clauses banning non believers from holding public office.
