Politics and Christianity: Arnold Schwarzenegger

An excerpt from The California Catholic Daily:

During a three-day trade mission to Canada, the pro-abortion, pro-homosexual Republican governor of California told a Toronto newspaper that, while he is a Catholic, he does not mix religion and politics.

“California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is staring down anti-abortion opponents of stem-cell research with a warning to leave religion out of politics and health,” reported the May 31 Toronto Star.

“I always said that you should not have your religion interfere with government policies or with the policies of the people,” Schwarzenegger told the Star. “I am a Catholic and a very dedicated Catholic, but that does not interfere with my decision-making because I know that stem-cell research, the way we are doing it in California... is the right way to go and will save, very quickly down the line, lives and cure a lot of these illnesses.”

Comment Policy

1. Speak the truth in love
Comments containing untruths and misrepresentations will be deleted unless we think it more important that they be corrected by dialogue with other readers of Politics and Christianity.

Truth is not always pretty, and attempts to clarify can sometimes be cutting (e.g. satire, irony, etc.). However, every attempt should be made to keep comments within the bounds of Christian civility.

2. Don't use words that your Momma wouldn't like
Comments with abusive, blasphemous, coarse, crude, dirty, disrespectful, filthy, foul, godless, impious, impure, indecent, irreverent, nasty, obscene, profane, raunchy, sacrilegious, smutty, or vulgar language will be deleted post-haste. Euphemisms and abbreviations of an ungodly nature are included in the preceding list.

3. Stay on-topic
What you are saying may be very interesting, but it will probably be deleted if it does not relate to the post on which it is appended.

4. No drive-bys
Comments that appear to be cut-and-paste propaganda, rather than attempts to dialogue, will be deleted.

5. Don't assume too much
Sometimes we will respond to your comment and other times we will not; so, (a) do not think we are uninterested in what you have to say if we do not respond, and (b) do not assume that we agree with someone just because we do not respond, -- we actively practice both Proverbs 26:4 and Proverbs 26:5.

6. Publish your ideas instead
If you have more than a few paragraphs to share on a topic, consider submitting it to the editors of Politics and Christianity for publication as a separate article, rather than as a comment. You can submit articles for consideration to editor@politicsandchristianity.com.

7. You retort, we decide
There is no board of arbitration on the issues cited above. The editors of Politics and Christianity are the final authority on what appears here.
