Why is our Congress voting referendums regarding religion in China?
We are a nation that separates church and state. So why is Congress wasting our valuable time discussing the vote on the referendums in condemning the Chinese government for the appointment of Catholic bishops without Vatican approval. It seems that it should devote more time to solve our own problems.
- China is "officially Atheist." Did you know that China also has an "official" version of a Catholic church?
- What is China interest in the Catholic Church?
- It is the post-Vatican II Catholic Church in a different religion compared to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church?
- If we are a nation that does not promote any religion over another, why Obama Meeting with the Pope?
- Why do we need Catholic priests, Rabi, pundath and therefore for us to dictate religion?
Since Bush came out with tax payer dollars funding faith-based initiatives, which is clearly unconstitutional, but no politician will touch on the fear of being painted against the church, has been movement in this country of more religious or the power of the church.
People do not realize how powerful is the Catholic Church. Doing a little research and check how they are rich. You crash. There is no way that China will not "obey" their (not God) rules.
What, there are problems here at home that could turn their attention?
Do not you think that trying to control all other countries is more important?
You are absolutely right.
Of course, you're not on the law of separation of church and state thing. We are a nation that does not establish a religion, not a religion that does not use.
In response to your email because it is too much of a thought to publish a legitimate one for YA:
Please read the following and tell me that expressly states that "the separation of church and state":
"Amendment I - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances " ;.
The only place the phrase is in private letters written by Thomas Jefferson, a decade after the United States was founded. I suggest you try reading the Constitution sometime, you might actually learn something.
totally agree.
