A very long seed planted to disengage from voting .. imo.

I see more of these, Catholic and Protestant, cropping up as we near November 8th.

Come the 9th, religion will no longer be a political topic.

I did not see it that way at all. If it full of truths that make us examine our hearts to see where our loyalty truly lies, and I say this as a Protestant.

I do not think Archbishop Chaput is saying that we need to disengage from the electoral process. Rather, we need to disengage from the culture and its values, and reassert what it means to be Christian. This would mean that we should reject those politicians who present themselves as Catholic but as so in name only. Indeed, rather than withdrawing from politics we need to engage in it and fight for Christian principles.
