Frankly, I'd like to see a really strong pope come out & take on secularism. Leadership without guidance is leading to the decay of modern society IMHO. Political correctness in all its forms is leading to the exclusion of theological guidance & the abolition of free speech if it has to do with religion.
Long live John Paul II.
As a catholic I am apalled at the thought of that.
Religion has no place in the governance of a state, unless you want blind idealogy spilling the blood of millions.
You are appalled that our leaders might fall back upon their faith and moral center when making decisions? I really have no problem with that. There is a BIG difference between "blind idealogy" (I assume that you mean living in a theocracy) and in choosing leaders with character and conviction. If the foundation of a man's character is an outspoken faith in God, so be it.
FWIW, many so called Christians do not even attempt to live in the example of Christ, so I can see where a lot of people develop such ideas while observing some of the idiots in our governenment.
