It's particularly notable in the leadership of the Catholic Church, the country's largest religious body.

The Catholic Church strongly discourages homilies focused on politics or other current issues. Homilies must remain Christ focused.

If they had deviated, then it would have been notable.

Even southern Baptist churches are cowardly on the race issue. The Southern Baptist Convention has had a black president for two terms now and dares not say anything negative about O’Bummer. Last year the convention publicly reprimanded Richard Land, a stalwart conservative leader on its staff, for saying politically incorrect things about the Trayvon Martin matter. Shameful.
