When you become supreme dictator of the Universe perhaps you'll outlaw religious organizations, but until then, the significant number of Americans who are Roman Catholic should receive the same respect as anyone else.
Perhaps you were absent from school the day they covered the First Amendment.
No, why would they be? I'm not Catholic, and I believe that politics and religion should be kept completely separate from each other.
I agree with you and that is why the government needs to get its nose out of the Catholic Church's domain. It is not the Catholic Church that is trying to mind the governments business, it is the government that is outside the rules set forth in the constitution.
I wonder if you are referring to the debate on birth control pills. I have used birth control pills and have no problem with them, but when the government starts dictating to a church it is WRONG. So yes, I am concerned that the Catholic church has to go to court to defend their right to their beliefs and not have to spend money on something that is against their church doctrine. It is more about religious freedom than it is about birth control and is a direct attack against the freedom of religion. People should flood the airways, e-mails, etc. and let the government know they are out of line and we are not going to stand for our freedoms being eroded. Getting rid of religious freedom and freedom of speech are the beginning of a communist state. And then there is the freedom to have guns too that is being attacked by this administration. Anyone in the United States that does not see the communist agenda by this administration is operating in a vacuum or their brain has just quit working.
This is the crux of the matter. If someone is a devout Catholic, their religion will influence their politics. Just as any religion, or lack thereof, is an influence in a person's life, they will base their decisions on their strong held beliefs.

Just so long as the Catholic church keeps its nose out of my business .......
