That line, repeated at three Orlando-area black churches, was met every time with applause and cries of approval.

So, this has bugged me for a long time...today is Sunday, right? Did I hear any sermon/homily about politics? NO. Were there any politicians there? MAYBE, but they were sitting anonymously in the pews and participating in the celebration of the Mass, and not "preaching" or "campaigning".

Where is the "church and state" rule?!

I'm not a Catholic, I just work there, but I have to say, there's such a thing as respect for the Church, and I expect even President Bush would have a hard time being invited to my church to speak at a worship service/Mass...and he is a devout Christian, unlike (caveat: IMHO) Al Gore...what does "getting out the vote have to do with "whoever would be great must be the least"?!?!

/rant...no offense intended to anyone!

Our church -- (a very large, non-denominational, Bible-teaching church) -- almost got into trouble for having "Voter Guides" available to the congragation -- I think the only reason they didn't lose their tax-exempt status was because they made no recommendations from the pulpit, but just had the materials available

I agree. If this were a Republican politician, the screaming about losing the tax-exempt status would be deafening! You would hope that the Dems would have SOME shame, but once again, apparently not. Any excuse, legal or not, to forward their illicit power base. These Dems are SICK!
