29 Sunday Political Catholic (19/10/2014) - in summary

1161AD St Thomas Becket(37yrs)was powerful,as Archbishop of Canterbury, nominated by his friend king Henry II. Friction between King& church,resulted King's Knights to kill him(Dec1170)

Early days power and religion was connected, deviating Mt22:21'Give back to Caesar what is Caesar and to God what is God'

At Baltimore in1884 Church decided not to identify interest of faith with fortunes of politics" means up to this year it has been happening!. One reason for some catholics to leave the church may be the frustration create due to church combining with power. Now it is very clear Church management is independent to politics.

St John Paul II,took action,against priests who were involved in politics and holding office in Governments :ex: Jesuit fr Earnesto Cardenal/1983.

Prophet: Isaiah says God is only powerful. Paul reminds to increase faith thru' love.

Difference between Religion and Government

If you break law (Government),some other human will decide that you are wrong,(error prune)while for religion yourself decide that you have committed sin(ideal) and ask pardon from God. This is major difference of religion(spiritual)to Government(material).

Thru' Love you become more powerful than politician!. Next sunday, it will be reminded the value of love!
