The Church as a Bride of Caesar (National Review)

While we have tracked the emergence of the religious right in America, Fr. Robert A. Sirico writes in the National Review about the political power of the religious left.

EXCERPT:  It is telling that the Washington Post report on the religious Left’s Circle of Protection campaign for big government describes the effort as one that would “send chills through any politician who looks to churches and religious groups as a source of large voting blocs,” because, in fact, this is not an honest faith-inspired campaign to protect the “least of these” from Draconian government cuts, as claimed. It is a hyper-political movement that offers up the moral authority of churches and aid organizations to advance the ends of the Obama administration and its allies in Congress.
