POLITICAL SALT

Adding spiritual salt to the meat of politics... in the pursuit of good government.

 

"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt,
so that you may know how you should respond to each person."

- Colossians 4:6

3 Tests

SIEGE 2, DAY 10: The Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, led by Bishop Thomas J. Olmstead, is about to release a booklet entitled "Catholics in the Public Square." Though I am not a Catholic, I found the statement to be worthwhile reading and generally applicable to anyone with a moral compass. First, Bishop Olmstead gives strong support for being involved in the political process. He also outlines parameters for those voting and for elected officials to be in line with God's word. Within the very readable statement are 3 fundamental moral tests or "non-negotiables" to assess a voter's and candidate's agreement with scripture.

1. Sanctity of life (primarily regarding abortion and euthanasia)
2. Sanctity of marriage (definition of marriage being between one man and one woman)
3. Parental right to choose how to educate their children

Let's see who pass the tests.
