Revelation 3:16 - The lukewarm will be spit out of his mouth.

You can’t have a foot in both camps.

Thanks for writing this!

Great reflection! Christ prayed for us to be one. However, as Church history has borne out, division does occur (just look at the rifts created in the defining the Holy Trinity) but must always lead to honest discourse, led by the Holy Spirit, and ultimate unity. Faith is not politics. Whenever the two get mixed up ... beware! Evil, by its nature seeks division. Love always seeks unity.

And yes, Martin is right. Let us pray for Pope Francis and the Church🙏🕊But instead of praying change Pope Francis or change the Church in such and such ways, we should place the Pope, the Church and those who both agree and disagree with the Pope into Jesus hands, and pray "not will my will but thy will be done"🙏🕊

I believe that our core moral and religious values influence the direction of our political values. Catholics-in-name-only tend towards the left. Those who are more serious about their Catholicism tend to be politically conservative. We see this same pattern among Protestants. I believe that those who are closest to Christ will have greater unity among each other.
