I'm not Catholic. I'm Baptist, but support the Salvation Army. I looked for a church that's the same as the church of Philidelphia (The Church Christ chose to reward the most) in the book of Revelations. It's a poor missionary church. They get things freely through free will, and give things freely through free will , and do not want the government, nor PC, involved in their good deeds. They're ruled by a higher power.
I'm Congregationalist, and I support the Salvation Army too, especially at Christmas.
Attorney General Bill Pryor Prosecutes Chief Justice MooreAttorney General Bill Pryor Prosecutes Chief Justice Moore and Claims the Chief Justice is Unrepentant for Acknowledging God Notwithstanding Court Orders to the Contrary.
Q: And if you resume your duties as Chief Justice after this proceeding, you will continue to acknowledge God as you have testified that you would today?The following is a partial transcript from yesterdays trial of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. Like Luther standing before the tribunal at the Diet of Worms, Chief Justice Roy Moore was explicitly condemned for being unrepentant in his unwillingness to submit to a federal order prohibiting him from acknowledging God as a state official. Attorney General Bill Pryor demanded the Court of the Judiciary to immediately remove him from office for his refusal to deny God and for inciting the public to support his misconduct.A: That's right.
Q: No matter what any official says?
A: Absolutely.
It must be stressed, that Attorney General Pryor did not cross-examine Chief Justice Moore on his future position towards Ten Commandment monuments, but only the issue of the acknowledgment of God as a public official. The following is a partial transcript of the concluding questions in the cross-examination of Chief Justice Moore by Attorney General Bill Pryor.
Q: Mr. Chief Justice? And your understanding is that the federal court ordered that you could not acknowledge God; isnt that right?
A: Yes.
Q: And if you resume your duties as Chief Justice after this proceeding, you will continue to acknowledge God as you have testified that you would today?
A: Thats right.
Q: No matter what any official says?
A: Absolutely. Without let me clarify that. Without an acknowledgement of God, I cannot do my duties. I must acknowledge God. It says so in the constitution of Alabama. It says so in the first amendment to the United States Constitution. It says so in everything I have read. So - -
Q: The only point Im trying to clarify, Mr. Chief Justice, is not why, but only that, in fact, if you do resume your duties as Chief Justice, you will continue to do that [acknowledge God] without regard to what any other official says; isnt that right?
A: Well, Ill do the same thing this court did with starting a prayer; thats an acknowledgement of God. Now, we did the same say thing that justices do when they place their hand on the Bible and say, So help me God. Its an acknowledgement of God. The Alabama Supreme Court opened with, God save the State and this Honorable Court. Its an acknowledgement of God. In my opinion, which I have written many opinions, acknowledging God is the source a moral source of law. I think you must.
