Religion in Presidential Elections

It sure is amusing to see the candidates question the religious bona fides of other candidates and the church doing the same thing.

After stating that the USA is a Christian nation, John McCain now questions whether Mormons are real Christians.

"Only America, in my view, has these Judeo-Christian values that drives us to play the role we do in the world.

McCain makes it sound like we are in Jihad with the rest of the world. When asked whether Mormons are Christians McCain had this to say:

When asked if he considered Mormons to be Christians, McCain said, "I don't know.

Here's a hint. If the words "Jesus Christ" are in the name of the religion, they probably believe in some supernatural role for Jesus Christ and thus are Christians by definition.

On the Catholic end of the religous scale, St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke has the following to say about Giuliani:

"I can't imagine that as a Catholic he doesn't know that his stance on the protection of human life is wrong. If someone is publicly sinning, they should not approach to receive Holy Communion."
