For example, the Vatican places stringent restrictions on Catholic politicians in matters of abortion and gay marriage, which may clash with secular policy. This would apply ten fold to priests. Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:38:15 -0700 From: "isouza" <[email protected]> Precisely at this juncture we need prophets who will live and die for Truth in the "secular" democracy. Catholic priests and lay people have the duty to speak against abortion, which is a crime, and "gay marriage", which is a contradiction in terms...scientifically, medically, biologically, sociologically and ethically... What Fr.Cedric is doing is not against his priestly vows, but the concrete expression of his commitment and ministry for the people of God, particularly for the oppressed ones. The work of Fr.Cedric Prakash is a priestly ministry, it is not the work of a politician only but of every citizen, within their limits. Fr.Cedric is not "running for office". Mario asks: If he is not running for office what is all the fuss about? If he is not running for office he can speak out all he wants regardless of whether anyone agrees with him or not.
