Los Angeles Catholics for Obama

They say, Let's keep religion out of the presidential campaign, if possible. I say, to each his own. Let's rejoice that the Founding Fathers established a secular nation and that no one has to publicly defend his or her beliefs. I also think this current administration is very Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad! And anything to bring about change, non-violent change, must be done. Religious people like Martin Luther King, Thomas Merton, Mahatma Gandi, Thick Nahn Hahn, Dorathy Day Pope John Paul II, have proven in dire times sometimes we must look to our Religous leaders for help and guidance. I think we are in one of those dark times. Now I obviously don't mean the religious fundamentalists, who have simply hijacked the worlds great religions for their own evil agenda's and created this mess and in the mean time giving God a bad name. It's really brilliant in a sinister, demonic sort of way. "We have guided missiles and misguided men." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. A page out of John F. Kennedy's 1960 campaign appearance before a group of Protestant ministers in Houston. At the time, Kennedy, a Roman Catholic, had to dispel rumors that he would be taking orders from the Vatican if he won the presidency. Kennedy assured the protestant clergy that the pope would have no place in his presidency. He won the day when he told the ministers that when his brother Joe Kennedy's plane disappeared over the English Channel during World War II, no one asked what his religion was.
