Cardinal
on national priorities: 'The gravest of all issues'
No
one observing our nation’s electoral process over the past several
months could fail to notice the role of religion in politics. Some have
sought to deny this role, citing a strict “separation of Church
and State.”

contentious election year, that’s the angry battle cry of

this inestimable mystery of our Faith. |
