I was in J.C. Penney’s the other day purchasing some clothing with my wife when the cashier says, “would you like to donate to…” Corporate America has no right or jurisdiction over who is to receive donations from the public and who is not to receive donations. They are a business and not a Church! They are not the arbitrators of society and its well-being - or in many cases the advocates of evil (McDonalds and homosexuality, etc.).

I once worked for a very large corporation that asks all of its employees every year for donations to United Way, an organization that supports abortion. If you did not give you were hounded by management and viewed as an outcast.

America has become a nation without spiritual authority! Because the Church will not proclaim the fullness of the gospel by taking up the ministry of the state, others take up this ministry through corporations and cults. Prior to the American Revoltion, the separation of Church and State was considered heresy. Today the separation of Church and State is considered indifferent, or at best, unmanageable.

Now that the Church of England seems to be in her final days, we can now finally turn to the ancient church that has weathered the storms with the orthodox flag still flying: Rome! The Roman Church models a true society by running her own state: Vatican City, with her own magistrate: the Pontiff, with intention to mother the rest of the world. Do you have a problem with this? If you do, then who do you think should represent our nation to God the Almighty? There is no spiritual neutrality, and so if you believe that some Unitarian (someone that believes God should be represented without the Trinity) president should represent us, then perhaps you should worship with them. If you believe that our country should follow the paths of the early Christian fathers, then perhaps you should worship as they did…in a Catholic church - a Catholic Church that is not in rebellion with her mother, but is either at home with her or seeking reconciliation with her.
