I am a Christian. I am a Spirit-Filled Christian. I am loyal to Vatican Teaching (unlike most U.S. Catholics, to include most theology professors I know! :-)
As a Spirit-Filled Christian in the Catholic Tradition (I cannot say institutionally "Catholic" for many clerical orders have been overrun with homosexual pedophiles, many Professors of Theology are nothing but 'world religions' professors and many ordinary church goers believe in things like reincarnation, universal salvation, and whatever else People magazine says is appropriate). Nonetheless, I am a Spirit-Filled Christian loyal to Vatican Teaching.
As a Catholic charismatic, I am obviously political. To be Christian is not to be 'gnostic,' that Christian heresy that saw salvation as some esoteric type of knowledge. No, to be Christian is to be fully immersed in the sweat, blood and tears of this world we call Planet Earth. Surely, as Jesus Christ told us, we are to be "in" the world, but not "of" the world. We are to be "salt and light" bringing Jesus Christ's Bodily Presence (through the Eucharistic elements miraculously transformed on the altar into Jesus' Body and Blood) into wherever Jesus sends us, be it the Middle East, be it homosexual-drug pushing hedonistic secular Florida, be it godless Washington, D.C. in which politicians sell their souls for a nice meal bought by some PAC.
In being Jesus' Body in the world, we are left with two options. Martyrdom or rulership. Either we are killed bodily (eventually, say for example Dietrich Bonhoeffer who resisted state-supported Nazi religion) OR we end up ruling. Death or victory, there are no other choices for the Christian believer.
This Jesus Christ politics is Pro-Life, Pro-Family, and anti-corporate corruption. We are to never murder our own children (abortion!), we are never to get a divorce (unless adultery has occurred), and we are to work diligently to insure good food for ALL of God's children living under our reign, even if those children are Islamic, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu, Native American religiously, etc. Never kill a baby. Never get divorced (unless adultery has occurred). Oppose hoarding of resources so that ALL People in the United States of America and throughout the world can eat. Why is it that the Republican Party has abandoned its Pro-Life, Pro-Family stand? Why is that the Republican Party has seemingly always favored "Big Business" that hoards money, supports usury all while people in Africa starve to death?
Blessings in Jesus,
