"pledged allegiance to the Church of Rome"
Is this what Catholics do?
Do they pledge allegiance to the Lord?
Do they pledge allegiance to the Lord?
Yes, at every Mass which we can attend daily and must attend weekly. We call it the Profession of Faith.
To Catholics, there is no distinction.
Those that take the vows of Priesthood do. Taken otherwise, you cannot separate Christ from his Church.
Presumably, someone who believed those two allegiances to be in conflict couldn't in good faith remain a Catholic, could they?
Why don't you find out for me, okay. Let me know what you find.
You totally ignored the basic question of the article, which is: can a practicing Catholic support a party that is for abortion and gay marriage, for example. Please don’t resort to stereotypical rote unintelligent questions but try to read the article and then attempt a rational comment.
