Wrong! The Catholic Church CONSTANTLY attempts to influence politicians and push their political agenda. They ABSOLUTELY attempt to affect my life.
If they kept out of our politics, I'd have no problem with them either.
At John 18:36 Jesus tells Pilate his Kingdom has nothing to do with the world, saying it is from another source. If the Catholic Church is representing God's will on earth, why would they get involved in politics then? PETA, oil companies and other 'groups' don't claim to represent God's will so it's quite a bit different.
Thats my .02
And this is 100% correct. I was glad that someone else brought it up, because I was going to otherwise. If Christian churches followed Jesus' teachings, they would not be involved in politics.
