I’m not failing anything.
I have an informed and well contemplated opinion.
The fact we disagree makes my opinion no less valid, well researched, or thoughtful, much less prayerful.
Pastors have, in my opinion, no business endorsing other men, all of us failed, for positions of political power.
There is an implied power and persuasion available from the pulpit, and it is a slippery and dangerous path when men of the cloth delve into candidate politics.
Should the Pope, or Cardinal Law individually endorse specific men? Should the Elder of Salt Lake? How about brother Graham? Do we want preacher Joel to tell us who he supports specifically? What about Qahdi - should he support individual candidates by name?
Evidence including the history of America in the 1800's suggests otherwise.

That is up to them, but history suggest as long as there is NO governmental interference or meddling in such endorsement, the society as a whole benefits.
