Haven't some of our modern day church establishments gone pretty far to the left? Perhaps others with more familiarity than I in various churches can comment. I'd be interested to know if particular churches are known for leaning strongly to one side or the other of the major issues facing us.
Some of the church news that makes the headlines I see sure sounds leftist to me.
The Catholic Bishops, as a whole, for the last 40 or 50 years have become very leftist. A few, as the new St. Louis Cardinal from Chicago, have become less so. Some of the bishops have refused to follow the Church's teaching concerning refusing communion to the likes of Kerry, while the St.Louis Cardinal has told parishoners not to vote for Kerry I was told. The National Council of Churches seem to be about as far left as it is possible to go.
