text: I believe that the Catholic church is and has been deeply involved in our politics ever since Pope John Paul II got elected pope. 
  One can easily make the argument that the church began it's politics in the fourth century under Constantine. 
  I think the USCCB and the church would suffer irreversible damage to itself AND to America and to the world if it gets the Johnson Amendment cancelled. Even if other churches cancel that amendment ALL churches will suffer. 
  Methodists, Presbyterians, UCC, UU and most churches have stayed out of politics as Jesus said when HE told us to "render unto Caesar...etc.
  Whereas our church has been deeply involved in politics ever since Pope JPII told us that we had to vote Republican. 
  
  on well...
