And that's what's shooting ourselves in the foot, as with all the other social issues. They (and we, as Catholic voters) are all too often afraid to go after the root cause because we might lose allies or votes or because it might sound like the platform of ritually-impure Democrats (to paraphrase Mark Shea). Oftentimes I am guilty of this stuff too.Cojuancohttp://uci.edunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-40921542306937907412013-10-18T12:43:28.606-04:002013-10-18T12:43:28.606-04:00That is just awful.

Unfortunately, your James quote wouldn't go very far with most Protestants either, even though it's from the Bible, because it doesn't fit the paradigm. I think that's part of the problem - if faith is completely divorced from works, then of course you can just minister to someone's soul without ministering to their physical body. Thankfully I have been seeing more emphasis on real charity in evangelical churches lately, so hopefully that will die out.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112924098753896966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-17786942773876865762013-10-15T13:44:45.821-04:002013-10-15T13:44:45.821-04:00"One of our members took her to the Target Ca..."One of our members took her to the Target Cafe to share the Gospel..."<br /><br />Aaaaaaaaauuuuuuggghhh!!!<br /><br />Now that that's out of my system, James 2:15-17.
