Everyone, I'm having a problem. I know how generous you guys are, so maybe it won't be as big. Can you guys pray for one of my friends? I think his username is erase my memory. He needs lots of prayer. If you don't know his real name, it's Nash. He kind of said the catholic church is all about politics. Is that true? I don't think it is. So, pray for him. And also, pray for my friend Angry Horse. He needs prayer too. I'm really worried about them. What should I do??? Am I condemning them just by trying to help them? I love saving souls, not just for the indulgences, but because it makes me feel good. Is that ok? Alright, enough said. I think I'm done now. Thank you so much for your support. AMEN! The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is suitable for them.

I have found it is not about forcing faith on to them, but planting the seed, and sitting a listening and talking with the person. Being present to them, and not accountable to them. Sometimes we must sit and listen the voice will come.

The Priest from my church always says this, something about how we show others Christ love through what we do. And that's the best way to spread the religion and do God's work. As the Catholic church has it's own state, the Vatican, there will be some political involvement somehow. It cannot be missed, and there will always be some bad apples that will cause political problems, and people like to criticize these few people instead of looking at the overall good the religion has done. the best thing we can do is pray for these bad apples, and the ones causing trouble against our church or pray for ourselves that we may not fall into these problems.

Truth be told religion and politics are almost impossible to seperate, especially when amoral or otherwise corrupt mortals are involved. Unfortunately some would rather blame the belief then those few who make the faith look bad. Ironically this prejudice also brings about a sort of corruption in that of itself.
Praying won't hurt and if God feels so inclined he'll help out (usually he prefers to take the subtle approach in my experience.) Otherwise the best course is action. Prove the doubters wrong through right and just action, live the morals the Bible teaches not just beat someone upside the head with them.
