The DNC's Odd Nod to Religion in Philly's [Catholic] Cathedral

The event in question was the “Interfaith Service of Prayer for the Nation” held at Philly’s [Catholic] cathedral, the Basilica of Ss. Peter and Paul. Planning for the event began in February by the Philadelphia Liturgical Institute, at the request and on behalf of the DNC.

The prayer service was … odd.

From the article :

For if there is one thing President Obama has done in his eight-year tenure, it is to solidify the notion that the Democratic Party and his administration in particular are hostile to freedom of religion, the rights of the unborn, traditional marriage, and the right to freedom of conscience whether in the public square or in our private lives.

For instance, the Obama Administration actively attacked institutions such as the Little Sisters of the Poor. Despite federal law, its lawyers led the fight to eviscerate the timeless meaning of marriage.

Both the President and Secretary Clinton have spoken not of freedom of religion but of “freedom of worship.” There is a huge difference between the two. One implies the freedom to act in accord with your beliefs. The other implies religion is merely a private matter to be exercised only within the home or in one’s place of worship, but not expressed in any public way, especially when it runs counter to the conventional wisdom and the zeitgeist.

Can’t argue with that! :^)

Any Catholic institution or clergy that lends itself as a prop to the Democratic Party is betraying the Faith.

[Robert A Cook PE]

And EVERY “catholic” politician servicing the dnc is betraying the Faith.

Ir’s amazing and dissapointing.How soon we forget.
Thus far have not seen or heard the re-run of the 2014 DNC Convention when any reference to God was decided to be removed. Then shoved back on the floor by rhe chair by a voice vote which pretty sounded opposed to doing it. Followed by a chorus of jeers, boos and catcalls.

All but one: DNC ‘Interfaith’ Prayer Space Has No Sign Of Any Religion Except Islam.

Using religion for their political agenda.

And likewise, these priests are using politics to further their religious agenda.

It’s a two-way street.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Did they sacrifice an unborn baby on the altar?

[ebb tide]

I see you’re still making stuff up. I’m not surprised.

Trump should say something about the “freedom of worship” comment which obviously means one’s religious beliefs (which on abortion, gay marriage, etc, are the natural law) aren’t welcome in the public square.
