Dear Friends at Catholic Exchange,
I am not a Catholic, but I am a fellow Christian. While many “Christians” are hiding their faith, or even compromising God's Holy Word, you have made a clear stand concerning Holy Communion. If we, as believers in the one true God, do not hold up the light of Truth, how will this lost, dark world ever have hope of salvation? The liberal media and even our political leaders are trying to skew the lines of biblical morality and secular, relative amorality. A “claim” to be Christian for a vote's sake does not constitute valid Christianity, especially when they propagate and legislate the sin of homosexuality and abortion, etc. Thank you for leading the way and standing for Truth. We must hold our leaders' feet to the fire and give our laity firm direction. Do not be pressured into retreat, but rather, as God's ambassadors, stand on the Rock and declare with the power of the Holy Spirit, His position. Be encouraged that there are many believers who support your position and most of all, you are strengthened in the power of
righteousness.
May God be with you,
Pastor Ken King

Pastor,
Thanks for your kind support. We couldn't agree more that the separation of God's revealed Truths from the decisions being made by so called “Christian” politicians has helped lead to the great moral decay we are seeing in our society. It's an honor for us to join hands in this battle with you and all fellow Christians.
May God bless you,

Dear Sirs,
I am a Palestinian Catholic and I was happy to find your rich website. However, I've noticed that some articles are not totally suitable for this kind of website. Forcing politics into religion doesn't seem to be a good thing especially when they're nothing but some people's “personal” points of view, such as Daniel Pipes' articles, or others that saying the war in Iraq is a “just war.” In fact when I came across such articles I thought they had nothing to do with Christianity. What the Americans do (including their war on Iraq) doesn't have to be always right! In fact it contradicts all of Christ's teachings about love and peace.
I don't support what's happening here or there, but when a person tries find peace in Jesus, it's not a good thing to be annoyed by such unnecessary topics. A prayer for peace is much better than hundreds of articles about war and terrorism.
God bless you,

Ramzi,
God bless you too!
Catholic Exchange is not a strictly religious website. We challenge people to live their faith courageously and boldly in the world. That is why our motto is “Your faith. Your life. Your world.”
Catholics have a moral obligation to promote the common good through the exercise of their voting privileges (Cathechism of the Catholic Church, 2240). It is not just civil authorities who have responsibility for a country. “Service of the common good require[s] citizens to fulfill their roles in the life of the political community” (CCC 2239). This means citizens should participate in the political process at the ballot box. In order to do this prudently, Catholics must be informed and we strive to do this as best we can.
Thank you for your comments.
In JMJ,
