Faith and Politics

   Several weeks ago on the “World Over,” host Raymond Arroyo spoke with Bishop Morlino from the diocese of Madison WI. The two men discussed various topics, such as religious liberty, Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan, etc… What caught my attention was when Raymond Arroyo asked Bishop Morlino about the role of faith within the world of politics. Bishop Morlino believed that the political views of many Catholics impacted their faith, rather than their faith impacting their political views.

   After hearing this, I realized that Bishop Morlino was right. Many Catholic Americans put their faith on the back burner when it comes to politics which is why President Obama currently enjoys a majority of the Catholic vote. If there is a time for Catholics to put their faith first and allow their faith to influence their political views it is now!

May the intercession of St. Joseph, strengthen us to put our Catholic faith first.
God bless.
