(continued) The purpose of sanctuary as practiced since ancient times is gone. The interpretation of sanctuary & the moral righteousness of it is something on which I seriously disagree with these churches. If my church were to do such a thing, I would be gone. However, & here's the problem, I can't, under the 1st amendment, tell religious people their activity & beliefs in practicing their faith are wrong. Progressives really seem to enjoy telling all sorts of religious folks that they are "wrong" in their convictions, that their unpopular manner of practicing their faith is not "Christian", & all sorts of judgments that depend entirely on whether the practice agrees with the critic's politics or not.  

It's up to the courts to put the brakes on certain religious practices when such restrictions would serve a compelling public interest.  IMO this is one that should be reviewed for that test.  But until then, I can disagree all I want, as I do on every article, but I can't fix it.
