Gallup: American Confidence in Religion at All-Time Low
The Gallup Poll released data this week showing that Americans currently have the lowest confidence in organized religion than at any other time, with Protestants proving the most trusting group while distrust among Catholics is attributed to child sex abuse scandals.
In response to a question about their confidence in religion, statistics showed that only 44 percent of respondents had a great deal or a lot of confidence in religion. This number is lower than the 48 percent scored in 2011, and lower than the previous all-time low of 45 percent reported in 2002....
Communion, I really doubt that the Electoral College was the cause of the two party system, but parties were especially encouraged by our form of government.
But, guess, I'm not so much upset that the Nebraska Attorney General has joined with four others to see if they can stop contraception in the ACA law, but what irritates me he is completely silent on elevating same sex relationships in such cities as Omaha without demanding a vote of the general public on the issue. I would also think what the university system in NE did by condoning queer relationships by allowing healthcare coverage of homosexuals as if they were married should have been challenged but nary a peep from his office. However queerness is not that important of issue to the Romish Church.
For true churches it is a case Christian and Catholics -- never together!. Working in politics it has to be done, except turning one of the parties into "Christian" Democrats, i.e., never Christian, but usually Catholic, and many times not very democratic either should be unacceptable to a broad group of people.

The true church cannot have any communion whatsoever with those who worship graven images.
2Cor 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people"
Isa 44:9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. 10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? 18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
