I saw this video about the same time I was trying to put my own thoughts on this subject into words, and while I am not Catholic, I AM a Christian.

The majority of Americans profess to be Christian, but more and more frequently I hear the expression, "My faith is one part of my life, but it doesn't belong in politics. I keep it separate." REALLY?!
Tell me, please, my brother or sister, how exactly do you split your soul into parts? Because you see, when I surrendered all to Jesus, He sealed me for eternity. My body became His temple and I am His. I am to honor Him in ALL that I do. I am to be salt and light. I am to be His hands and feet. I am to live so that others see Him in me. My purpose has changed. I am no longer of this world. His grace has changed my eternity and given me victory on this planet. The Holy Spirit is inside of me. I don't peel God away to go into the grocery store, to go to work, or even to shower. I am His whether I am asleep, awake, singing, crying, sick, exercising,etc. You get the point. So again, explain to me how I leave Christ in the parking lot when I cast my vote for those that will govern our lives? Tell me how I would ever vote for someone that could gather money from us all to stab babies in the back of the skull in what is known as a "legal" act but so very immoral? Please let us not ever forget....we are CALLED to live for Christ. If we don't vote our values, we don't live our faith. The unsaved are watching us for a sign of hope and truth. LET THEM SEE IT.
