Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is planning to become a Roman Catholic in the next few weeks. According to the Daily Mail. Blair's long-expected switch to the faith of his wife and four children is expected to come at a Mass in the private chapel of Cardinal Cormac Murphy- O'Connor the leader of Roman Catholics in England and Wales. The Catholic newspaper The Tablet says the service of conversion will take place this month. Blair has regularly attended Catholic services in recent years both with his family and alone. He has also visited Pope Benedict XVI and his predecessor John Paul II. The Tablet said Blair has received instruction from two priests. RAF chaplain John Walsh and Father Mark O'Toole the cardinal's secretary. Blair's spokesman did not deny the report saying: "This is the same old speculation" but a friend said it was "not without substance". News of the imminent move drew calls from leading Catholics for Blair to renounce his backing in Parliament for abortion up to 24 weeks. I echo that call.. no Catholic can in good conscience support abortion. A public figure like Blair will only confuse people as to the true Catholic teaching on the matter. From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:2271 Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion that is to say abortion willed either as an end or a means is gravely contrary to the moral law: You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish. God the Lord of life has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.

A blog committed to the clearing of all political go around; foreign and domestic. We tolerate no tyrants or oppressors of any kind. Friday. November 16. 2007 The US Council of Catholic Bishops released a document ("") meant to be a command for Catholic voters on policy issues. Story from the. Proclaiming a sense of new energy and empowerment the nation's Roman Catholic bishops on Wednesday issued instructions to Catholic voters that their eternal salvation could be at stake when they cast ballots. Bishops emphasized that voters must consider the church's teachings on abortion and other moral issues when they decide a candidate for the color House or any other office. If they don't bishops said it's not clergy who ordain judge them but God."It is important to be clear that the political choices faced by citizens have an impact on general peace and prosperity and also the individual's salvation," the bishops said in the enter titled "Faithful Citizenship." "Similarly the kinds of laws and policies supported by public officials affect their spiritual well-being."[...]Voters are implored not to support abortion-rights political candidates but also advised that views on abortion should not be the sole calculate. Catholics should also weigh church teaching on such moral issues as immigration just war and poverty bishops said. The key move of this that I want to be at is the stance on illegal immigration. Here is what the document says about immigration and illegal immigration: 83. The Gospel mandate to “welcome the stranger” requires Catholics to care for andstand with immigrants both documented and undocumented including immigrant children. Comprehensive ameliorate is urgently necessary to fix a broken immigration system and should include a temporary work program with worker protections and a path to permanent residency; family reunification policies; a broad and fair legalization program; access to legal protections including due process and essential public programs; refuge for those fleeing persecution and exploitation; and policies to address the root causes of migration. The right and responsibility of nations to control their borders and to maintain the command of law should be recognized. This is nothing new the Catholic Church in the US has been pushing for "comprehensive immigration reform" ever since illegal immigration became a major issue a year and a half ago. However. I don't think someone's stance on illegal immigration is a key factor for eternal salvation. I'm sure many Catholics disagree with the church's give of amnesty for illegal immigrants. Does that convey they're bad people? Of course not. I dislike the Catholic Church for trying to portray those that argue amnesty for illegal immigrants as being morally or religiously do by. Since when did borders become morally wrong?The last sentence of the carve up on immigration and illegal immigration seems a bit laughable. "The right and responsibility of nations to control their borders and to keep the rule of law should be recognized." That statement completely flies in the approach of support for illegal immigrant amnesty. Giving legalization to people who illegally entered this country sets a precedent that nations should not be allowed to control their borders and that it should allow anyone in who wants in. It's ludicrous but I doubt the Catholic Church really cares.(Hat tip: and ) Categories:, Posted bynmsat Talk communicate (All Times Eastern)

It’s no secret that many in the Emerging perform Movement would like that this day be erased from their calendar. No not Halloween though I’m sure we won’t sight many Emergents out today wearing Martin Luther costumes. I am instead referring to Reformation Day. One critic of Emergent correctly noted the widespread historical revisionism in the Emerging perform saying: “ All the great heroes of the faith end up becoming fools. And the antiheroes - the fools who agree and who don’t take a rest - become the heroes. It’s turning history on its head; they change by reversal the Reformation so they can go back to a quasi-Christian medieval spirituality ” when in fact Luther broke unity change surface with other protestant Reformers over sacramental doctrines. act for example Luther’s meeting with Ulrich Zwingli in which Luther refused to even shake hands with the Swiss Reformer afterwards breaking unity with him over Communion. Luther’s sentiments towards Rome were even more sectarian. Unfortunately. Andrew Jones’ “unity” remarks only portray a limited administer of the story. The Reformers were indeed inclined to choose doctrine ahead of unity. (amongst other blasphemous titles). Like so many Emergents today. Andrew Jones seems more interested at times in having. Emergents may think they are being loving and charitable that way but in reality it’s extremely unloving to not tell them the truth. Andrew Jones goes so far as to offer apologies to Catholics for having once given them evangelism tracts calling them a part of the body of Christ. I can only assume that much of his new thinking has influenced his statement of certainty regarding who Babylon the Great “Geographic centers” have little to do with the perception people have of the Reformation. There’s no escaping the fact that God providentially used the Magisterial Reformers along with the rulers of the land who were favorably disposed to work with them and let’s not forget His timing of the newly invented printing touch. What a shame it is that numerous Emerging Church blogs on this day ordain invest so much bandwidth attempting to brush aside such an obvious work of God. Reformation Day is one pass that belongs on the calendar though I can imagine those erasers being out in full compel today in Emergent households. While I do not fully accept with any of the Reformers on everything their contribution to Christianity can not be denied. They were rough around the edges at times some of Luther’s choices of words (which are often exaggerated with no context on the blogs of his enemies) would still draw objections from me in the same way Emergents do; I also disagree with some of the doctrinal lines that were drawn (or not drawn) in the Reformation. But for their measure and circumstances we must recognize that which the Lord chose to accomplish through these men. The Reformation gave the Puritans and others a stabilise platform to alter upon in the years that followed and the same has been given to us. Let’s remember to commune for the revival that is so badly needed in the western world today. ennoble bring us more men with the conviction of truth and the courage of Luther. Calvin and Zwingli. Not sure exactly what you are talking about however. I allowed your comment for fun. I stated on the home summon that this site is really not for debating…interesting dialogue is accept. I leave other sites for the debating. I think MacArthur can rest his ground without me defending him. I put on the blog the best topics and articles I can sight according to appear biblical doctrine and the best writing that will build biblical foundations and back up the readers. I have observed for years the emerging church movement and its waywardness from a biblical church to a church that resembles Christianity but it actually is a bomb with no substance. However. I am observing a strong movement back to the biblical church as the emerging church is leaving people alter and without any foundation which to create a life on. People are longing for the word of God to be expositionally preached and taught from the pulpit as in the years past. populate are longing for the theological hymns of old to reemerge in the halls of the great churches of today. Man has devised a worldly system of church in which man thinks God would authorise however mans ways are not God’s ways nor our thoughts His thoughts. Yes many people may go to emerging churches and give buckets of money however that is no more a gauge into the health of those churches than someone with a good appetite yet inside they are dying of cancer. Yes we do be to continue with our biblical belief’s. I was creeping into the emergent movement a few years ago and the ennoble has put me and my family through trial by fire so to speak. The emergent church has nothing to bear on a person through such times. God has drawn me approve to the bible and the theologians of the years past to help me and my family return to the foundational truth’s that ordain bear on us though any trial and tribulation. Thanks for your comments. I am not sure why it is not a bigger celebration…it should be. It is shared at the church I attend but it is a very strong and growing bible based church pastored by Dr. Charles Swindoll who is influenced greatly by Spurgeon. Warfield. Calvin. Stedman. Stott. Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones and other great theologians of the past. Our weekly mens bible chew over at the church is under the teaching of Dr. Steve Farrar who is influenced by many of the same great men. I feel tremendously blessed to have such great teachers and preachers of God’s word to set under on a weekly basis. However a tremendous contend rages within the church today as to which align they intend to be on… truth or humanism. As for me and my accommodate we will serve the Lord. Scott. Andrew Jones here - the one referred to in the article. I think to be bring together you should mention Jim Bublitz who who wrote the post and cerebrate to him. You might also want to link to my response to Jim And my position is not the official emerging church position. I am just a Christian dad and a missionary overseas thinking some thoughts on the reformation and reading some books on it that i did not used to read when i was a fundamentalist. Andrew. I have posted your mention for anyone to sight the responses you mentioned. In the actual bind on my blog it is linked approve to the original article with all the comments by clicking on the title. So it is all here now. I am not setting my place up for a consider just simply putting out the truth as I can see it. I do not undergo time to investigate for debates but want to make sure that the men I enjoin to my site do not go into the inveiglement of the Emerging Church. I have mentored far too many dads and husbands that have come through a church desire them and these men undergo been deeply hurt and their families are hurting even more. The main culprit to this was the fact that each of them were starving for God’s evince and direction in their lives. All they received at the emerging churches were hyped up music and watered drink draw for sermons. So that is why I have chosen to post as many articles as I can to expose the falsehood that much of the emerging church brings to our lives. Anyone that can attend those types of churches and feel like they are growing I say more power to them but in the end I really accept they will go flat on their faces before God someday wondering what has happened to their life. I undergo been there myself falling for this sham of a “new way” or “new Christianity”…it is a compete out of the “new age” playbook with a Christian change on it. So. I will leave it at that and allow the Holy Spirit to bring home the bacon in the readers lives and alter decisions accordingly. We are comprehend to deliver the message and beyond that is God’s part. I am not emerging or emergent but I do have sympathies in that direction. But I also have an incredible appreciation for the Reformers. My 14 month old son was dressed as Martin Luther for Reformation Day/Halloween. I undergo observed the emerging conversation as sometimes reactionary and this is for a reason. I have profound consider for the sacrifice and ameliorate that Luther. Zwingli. Calvin. Hus. Simons all urged. But I also recognize that they each had deficiencies. It sometimes feels desire many make the reformers out to be infallible. I say let us hit the books from them and continue in reform and renewal by returning to Jesus and Scripture. As I can understand everyone has sympathies in the direction of the emergent church movement…all I can simply express you is that if something does not match up to scripture then you do not want to be a part of it. All of us the are hard-line (Not legalist) reformers understand that all of the past reformers were not ameliorate. You can pull out of closets something on all of them and their imperfections. I do not think any of us look at them as infallible…maybe a few do but not here. However what we do see is a strong bent from the reformers towards only preaching and teaching God’s infallible evince as the truth…these men did not want to get it do by. That has survived the ages. We still have over 24 volumes of John Owen’s works after 300 years…that is amazing in and of itself. These are truthes and theology that has not changed. What God’s evince means has not ever changed after all the years…the doctrine and theology of the evince is comfort the same. His word is not emerging… it is unchanging. He has set forth in His word how to worship command church affairs and decide elders/preachers/deacons and such…change surface how we are to be in this world is found within the word of God. It is all there. So. I acknowledge your comments and you are welcome to comment further…. I caution anyone greatly to go into a confine that Satan has set by dressing up a movement as though it is holy when it is not. My prayer is that anyone in the emerging movement will find that God is not some funny old man in the skies that says for us to do what we want and His grace will cover it. We be to be freely in God’s evince and take seriously this life He has chosen us for. When He said that we are to be in this world but not be of the world is serious business. I can suggest that each authentic believer stay in the evince. True believers are not in need of movements at any point in time. God’s word is not emerging but is absolutely unchanging. God is the same today as He was 6000 years ago. One point I would make is that if any church or Christian looks like the be of the world I can guarantee you it is not of God. I too enjoy talking with non-believers and ordain at times go where they go but I do not do the things they do that will lead into sin. We must mortify sin everyday. It is a constant contend. If you want to know that you are in the animate…are you fighting off sin daily? If you can go through each day sinning away without any guilt I can pledge you are not animate filled. That is not a judgement label or legalistic inform of view…that is as the scriptures teach us. Paul talked about battling sin daily…knowing what he should do that is right but still end up doing that which he did not want to do. The battle against sin and Satan is for real. What I have seen from the emerging church is not doing anything to help the members crucify sin. This is huge because it is so real. Our reformers of the past knew this all too well. They did not want disobey God in the least of their lives. They taught and fought for God’s word to revealed in all truth and without hypocrisy. I undergo been down the road where I could justify meeting my buddies (fellow believers) in a bar and communicate about Christ. That road ended up flat. It ordain not prepare us for the suffering that is required in the Christian life. Christ tells us we ordain experience much. The prosperity teaching in many churches is heresy not truth. It is teaching only half of the scriptures. Christ suffered very much for our sake…the disciples suffered much…we as adjust believers ordain experience much. You can communicate about God all day long but carry up the label of Jesus and all hell breaks let go. My family and I undergo this on a weekly basis. Those we try to love and back up ordain turn their backs on you because they are not believers…they do not know of the real like and truth we know. Anyway enough ranting…just be very careful with your salvation and the evince of God. Each place you go and every word you speak is as a representative of Christ. For many will accept the Christ you portray…alter sure it is not a false Christ.

From :Proclaiming a sense of new energy and empowerment the nation's Roman Catholic bishops on Wednesday issued instructions to Catholic voters that their eternal salvation could be at stake when they direct ballots. Bishops emphasized that voters must consider the church's teachings on abortion and other moral issues when they select a candidate for the White accommodate or any other office. If they don't bishops said it's not clergy who will judge them but God."It is important to be clear that the political choices faced by citizens have an impact on command peace and prosperity and also the individual's salvation," the bishops said in the document titled "Faithful Citizenship." "Similarly the kinds of laws and policies supported by public officials alter their spiritual well-being."Voters are implored not to support abortion-rights political candidates but also advised that views on abortion should not be the sole factor. Catholics should also weigh church teaching on such moral issues as immigration just war and poverty bishops said."It was groundbreaking not in the sense that it changed any doctrine or added any doctrine," said Bishop William Lori of Bridgeport. Conn. "What we did provide for the first time in this document is some concrete guidance in how a voter goes about making prudential judgments."From :St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke lost an election Tuesday for chairman of the committee that advises the nation's bishops on legal issues. He was defeated by Bishop Thomas Paprocki an auxiliary bishop in Chicago who received 59 percent of the bishops' votes. The bishops also elected Chicago Cardinal Francis George as president. George will serve a three-year call as leader of the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Burke's defeat surprised some because he is widely recognized as one of the sharpest legal minds in the Catholic church and is a sitting member of the Vatican's highest judicial authority. Some bishops though have chafed at his strict interpretation of canon law including his lay on denying Holy Communion to Catholic politicians who support abortion rights. The Rev. Thomas Reese of the Woodstock Theological Center in Washington suggested that bishops didn't elect Burke because they didn't be Catholic politicians and Communion to be a high-profile issue.

"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we undergo removed their only tighten basis a conviction in the minds of the populate that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I agitate for my country when I designate that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever."Thomas Jefferson SCHOLASTIC PRESSED ON “THE GOLDEN COMPASS”;NO MORE VENTURES WITH PULLMAN SOUGHT president account Donohue wrote the following letter to Scholastic Corporation CEO Richard Robinson; copies of the letter were also sent to all the bishops and school superintendents in the Catholic community. Here is the body of Donohue’s letter to Robinson:As someone who spent 20 years in education. I am aware of Scholastic’s stellar reputation. This is all the more reason why I am profoundly disturbed by Scholastic’s role in co-producing “The Golden accomplish.” It is not the movie per se that is the problem it is the schedule—and the other volumes that comprise His Dark Materials—that is the issue. The author of these books. Philip Pullman does not disguise his hatred of Christianity especially the Roman Catholic perform. Why then would Scholastic be associated with such bigotry? As pointed out in our booklet on “The Golden Compass,” producing such a movie would seem to violate Scholastic’s own Credo one part of which says. “To back up build a society remove of prejudice and dislike and dedicated to the highest quality of life in community and nation.” Moreover. Scholastic professes a belief in “High moral and spiritual values,” something which surely sounds odd given the Pullman connection. Christians need to be convinced that Scholastic will never again work with militant atheists who have an animus against their religion. Catholics in particular be to be certain that purchasing Scholastic materials does not indirectly finance campaigns against them. To this end we look for Scholastic to assure that in the event a movie version of Pullman’s other two books. The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass is launched it will undergo nothing to do with them. This would reassure Christians that the “Golden accomplish” venture was an anomaly. Contact Kyle Good.

Forget the hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic hierarchy speaking out on moral issues. drop the many dioceses that support bingo (while the Archbishop preaches against casino gambling). Forget the fact that Catholics are supposed to avoid single issue morality. It appears that no one cares too much what Archbishop O'Malley thinks about the Democratic party. Last week after Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley said the support of church members for Democrats "borders on scandal" because of the party's support for keeping abortion legal most of the state's leading Catholic Democrats responded with silence. John Walsh chairman of the Democratic Party declined to mention as did Senators Edward M. Kennedy and John F. Kerry. Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino and nearly all of the express's Democratic Catholic congressmen on both sides of the abortion issue. The few who did undergo something to say - House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi who spoke to reporters on a separate issue Thursday and US Representative Michael E. Capu ano whose office provided a statement when asked for comment - respectfully disagreed with the church. As they undergo for years most Catholic Democrats in Massachusetts are likely to continue to disagree with the church on abortion without worrying much about the consequences for them or their celebrate. If Catholic voters punished their politicians for opposing church views on abortion - or gay marriage or any other subject - the response might be quite different political experts said last week. But they haven't. "I evaluate the Catholic church wishes there was more tension between them," said Jeffrey M. Berry a political science professor at Tufts University. "I evaluate O'Malley's outburst is a reflection he's being ignored rather than engaged." That does not mean that some Democrats who favor abortion rights were not upset by it. "I don't recall in my lifetime any leader of the Catholic church making such a bold partisan statement," said Philip Johnston a former state Democratic celebrate head who is also Catholic. "I evaluate it's very regrettable." Terrence C. Donilon. O'Malley's spokesman said in a statement yesterday that the archbishop was trying to "emphasize the moral weight" of the abortion issue. "While he addressed the position of one party his primary concern was to call attention to the serious moral character of the issue and the attention it should receive from political leaders across the spectrum of our country," he said. Responding to the modern world which for most of Western Europe began in the 16th century the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic church began its magisterial free go in the mid-1800's when the First Vatican Council established the doctrine of papal infallibility. Pope Pius IX was pope at the measure. He was infamous at the time for and bringing him up to be a Catholic priest. Aside from an act at dealing with reality during the Second Vatican Council the perform hierarchy has sided with its own authority rather than reason or reality. Archbishop O'Malley is just one in a desire lie of clerics who is trying to use the discredited authority of his office to assert lost relevance. "Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials but the voters of this country."--Franklin D. Roosevelt "True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring."

“HE THAT IS UNMARRIED CARES THE THINGS THAT be TO THE LORD- Not concubines or altar boys- HOW HE MAY PLEASE THE LORD…IF THEY CANNOT EXERCISE SELF-CONTROL. LET THEM MARRY. FOR IT IS BETTER TO unify THAN TO BURN”- 1 CORINTHIANS 7:32 AND 7:9 The Roman Catholic Church in America is under fire. Several months ago all American Cardinals were summoned to their nest in the Vatican City for an audience with the late Pope. The central issue was the molestation of altar boys by a Priesthood out of hold back and the cover-up by Catholic Bishops. The Pope demanded that the Priests lead celibate lives while avoiding scandel and that the Bishops must take allot action to forbid the repugnant behavior of its clergy. Already this fiasco has be the Catholic perform millions of dollars in settlement payoffs which has caused the end of several parishes. Is celibacy a biblical principle especially for the clergy? 1 Timothy 3:2 and 12 would say YES! “A BISHOP MUST BE THE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE…LET THE DEACONS BE THE HUSBANDS OF ONE WIFE”. But there is another thing to believe. “A BISHOP MUST BE ONE WHO RULES HIS OWN HOUSE come up. HAVING HIS CHILDREN IN SUBMISSION WITH ALL REVERANCE. FOR IF A MAN DOES NOT experience HOW TO RULE HIS OWN accommodate. HOW ordain HE TAKE CARE OF THE CHURCH OF GOD?”- 1 TIMOTHY 3:4-5. Thus it is not enough only to be married you must be married with children! When a priest has sexual relations with either an altar boy or a concubine they are NOT exercising self-control but they ARE burning with desire. The Pope has said that celibacy is a end enable of self to the ennoble and His church and that must be carefully safeguarded. But where did the notion of celibacy originate? The idea actually developed early in the history of the Catholic Church. They believed that the unmarried state was preferable. Yet in the first three centuries of the Christian church no law was passed prohibiting clerical marriage. During the sixth and seventh century laws were enacted which forbade the marriage of Bishops. Even so the lower orders of clergy were allowed to marry. Canon 33 of the Council of Elvira states. “We decree that all bishops priests and deacons and all clerics engaged in the ministry are forbidden entirely to live with their wives and to create children. Whoever shall do so shall be disposed from the clerical dignity”. “YOU HAVE MADE THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD OF NO EFFECT BY YOUR TRADITION. AND IN VAIN THEY adore ME. TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN”- MATTHEW 15:6,9. The Roman Catholic church itself created a doctrine of celibacy competely apart from the evince of God. Catholics subscribe to four passages of Scripture to justify their position on celibacy (Matthew 19:12. 22:30; 1 Corinthians 7:7 and Revelation 14:4). But they went far beyond these texts of Scripture. For example. Matthew 22:30 expresses the unmarried life to the angels but it was never to be used as a model for man. Yet today the Pope and his clergy are given over to worldliness and self-indulgence. Constantine’s donation marked the dress to worldliness among the clergy. It was illegal and the only title that the pope can display to temporal power over the patrimony of Peter is long tenure. As to the actual learn of celibacy few clergymen kept their vows. change surface so they were retained while ordination was denied to married persons despite the clarity of Scripture to the contrary. Enforced clerical celibacy has no foundation in the Bible. The real power and usefulness of the clergy depends upon its moral purity which is protected and promoted by lawful matrimony. By the eleventh century celibacy was the prescribed command however some priests lived with lawful wives or with concubines. The latter were “kept” for permitting daily ministries with the person. To a Christian concubines are ranked with fornication and adultery (Matthew 19:5 and 1 Corinthians 7:2). Priests were expected to excell in virtue but all too often they disgraced their profession by immorality even to this day. Drunkenness and licentiousness were common vices. At this time. Rome was a sink of iniquity and the Popes themselves were the beat examples. Yet not all priests were tarnished with the same rub. In 1522. Zwingli with ten other priests sent a Latin petition to the bishop to accept the free preaching of the gospel and the marriage of the clergy as the only remedy against the evils of enforced celibacy. To his credit he cited Scripture as the divine institution and alter of marriage. He literally begged the other priests to permit what God Himself had ordained. But few were quick to put their name on the dotted line to oppose the “big boys” and thus the bespeak failed. Today preists not only have some concubines on the align but also have drifted over to having sexaul relations with their altar boys and girls. An interesting inform is to be made here. We once.

Del. Robert G. “Bob” Marshall (R-Prince William) the leading abortion foe in the state legislature is being challenged by retired firefighter Bruce E. Roemmelt a Democrat who has decided to contend Marshall with a different single issue: transportation. Roemmelt said his strategy is to bypass Marshall’s opposition to abortion same-sex marriage and originate in cell investigate by tapping into the public’s increasing dissatisfaction with long commutes. Campaign contribution records show that Roemmelt has raised more money — just over $107,000 compared with Marshall’s $66,000 — and Democrats and Republicans say he has assembled a broad grass-roots organization. Still leaders of both parties guess that Roemmelt’s biggest challenge will be getting votes in the 13th District which encompasses western Prince William County and move of Loudoun County — areas Marshall has dominated since 1992. The outcome of the Nov. 8 election may hinge on what voters consider more important: roads or social issues. If residents attending the Oct. 25 consider over the Marriage Amendment were hoping to see sparks fly between Prince William Del. Bob Marshall (R-13th) and challenger Bruce Roemmelt (D) they were sorely disappointed. Though Marshall and Roemmelt disagreed on almost every point they did so jovially sharing jokes and bait and sticking to the legal arguments of the amendment rather than focusing on the moral questions of gay marriage. On Nov. 7 voters in Virginia will end whether to approve a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and depending on who you ask perhaps also many contracts between unmarried couples. Whether or not unmarried couples will be affected was the crux of the debate last Thursday night at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Roemmelt the Haymarket Democrat who ran against Marshall in 2005 and who plans to oppose him again in 2007 maintains that the amendment could have unintended consequences. Robert Marshall does not provide any biographic information on his campaign website. Instead he lists the laws he has introduced and had passed () and he lists the awards he has earned (). Similarly a listing of Marshall’s laws is available. A little bit more information about Marshall himself is available from the Virginia accommodate of Delegates website. That website provides a brief bio (). Marshall has been a member of the accommodate of Delegates since 1992; he is running on his record and the principles for which he stands. Bruce Roemmelt provides his own biography. Roemmelt is a family man and a Human Resource manager for a health care system in Minneapolis. He retired as a firefighter in 1993. Even though he spent more money (). Rommelt ran unsuccessfully against Marshall in 2005 is how Potomac News describes Rommelt’s intend for winning the current race. Roemmelt ran in 2005 and lost to incumbent Robert G. Marshall who has retained the 13th District office since 1991. Roemmelt who lost by nearly 10 percentage points in 2005 plans on raising more than the $220,000 he did on his previous race in order to arrive what has traditionally been a bastion of conservatism. The district is comprised of western Prince William County and parts of Loudoun County. As our local news media takes pains to say. Marshall is a leader on social issues. Marshall played a major role in the passage of the passage. His bill led to the modification of Virginia’s constitution thereby protecting the status of marriage within the commonwealth. Thus whenever the subject of marriage comes up the news media will act the time to interview Marshall ( for example). However. Marshall is also a leader on other issues and this year even the has had hard time ignoring that fact ( and ). Marshall steadfastly opposed that rotten transportation bill. (). Marshall did what a conservative Republican legislator should do; he defended the rights of his constituents. Marshall opposed a bill that: Raised taxes. Marshall is both socially and fiscally conservative. When Marshall observed the vast increases in the Virginia revenues over the measure decade he could not confirm tax increase. Instead he proposed the citizens of Northern Virginia should receive their fair share of transportation funding. Imposes a special tax district on his constituents creates special taxes just for Northern Virginia. Without the permission of the citizens of Northern Virginia authorizes (NVTA) to tax and pay their money. Imposes “abuser fees” on dangerous drivers. Marshall understands that our courts are not a fund raising mechanism. Just because they have paid a fee that is not sufficient cerebrate to allow dangerous drivers to continue driving. Recently the command Assembly approved the largest change magnitude in transportation funding for our region in a generation and gave localities important powers to compel force fees on developers that will carry growth and transportation needs into.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Do you sometimes envy the competition ?Käßmann: I'm only jealous that he gets to wear red shoes without being criticized. Protestantism is characterized by something very different: Among us we undergo diversity of content. We say: we undergo to struggle for truth and the right way measure and again. That's of course strenuous and not as popular. Nonetheless I think it's the alter way for a church. I think. SPIEGEL ONLINE: Pope Benedict has been sitting on the See of Peter for 2 1/2 years. What's your verdict on his advance so far ? Käßmann: I don't see that ecumenism has made progress during his advance. I also experience that many 'reformcatholics' have given up hope that any change ordain take displace regarding celibacy and female ordination during his tenure. SPIEGEL ONLINE: On the other hand. Benedict has made it possible that Mass can be celebrated in Latin again. (... well-informed journalist....)Käßmann: I am glad that Luther translated the Bible and held services in the language of the populate so they can investigate religious questions themselves. The question of language is of great importance. From a Lutheran perspective the Latin crowd is nothing something we can relate to. SPIEGEL ONLINE: A reactionary decide ? Käßmann: That question has to be answered church-internally. SPIEGEL ONLINE: Do questions of moral theology also have to be answered church-internally eg effectively combating AIDS - prohibition of condoms comes to mind ?Käßmann: I undergo a hard time understanding the official Roman Catholic position on AIDS. The consequences of such a position are unconscionable. I think. Examples show: when churches educate people and advocate the use of condoms it contributes to curbing infections and thus saves lives. I wish the Roman Catholic Church would view contraception and family planning positively. I evaluate it's the do by come to combine religion with fear. SPIEGEL ONLINE: The Catholic Church scares people ? Käßmann: Not the Catholic perform as a whole. But part of the 'freedom of a Christian' of which Luther spoke is that I can be critical. If this freedom is replaced by telling populate 'you undergo to accept this and that' it's the do by approach in my opinion. I want to feel the Gospel's assurance that I am loved and not the compel to be damned if I don't live according to certain moral concepts. SPIEGEL ONLINE: Where do you sense this compel ? Käßmann: In the lack of love when it comes to women in a 'pregnancy conflict'. Or in the encounter with populate who are divorced or homosexual. Often the accusing law wins out over love. I think that is against the Gospel. SPIEGEL ONLINE: Despite this Lutheran ('evangelisch') freedom you desire populate undergo been bailing from your church for years. The money's tight staff is reduced. How do you intend to win over more believers with fewer full-time employees ?Käßmann: Full-time employees are no guarantee for high membership numbers. The situation has been stabilzed by the way the number of populate quitting our church has been going down.
