Don’t forget this one:
Cain’s communications director, Ellen Carmichael, stressed to CNN that Cain “believes that everyone in this country has the right to practice whatever religion they choose.”

And she tried to re-characterize Cain’s comments.

“Just as he would never appoint a Catholic who is loyal to the Pope before he or she is loyal to the Constitution, Mr. Cain would never appoint a Muslim who believes Sharia law trumps our U.S. Constitution,” Carmichael said.


I didn’t like Catholics being glommed with Sharia law.

I have NO problem with this.
As Cain said himself, he is not being elected to lead a theocracy. The Constitution is a Christian document and we elect people to lead with it in mind.

Catholics are to follow the Pope in matters of dogma. There are some other things that the Pope himself has opinions about that we are not required to follow. The Pope is not the King of the Catholics. That is Jesus Christ Himself.
