Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 [quote name='the_rev' date='Oct 8 2004, 11:12 PM'] I'd love to hold office!!! I have a few goals in life... Be a priest Meet the Pope Meet a prez (Already done!) Hold Public Office [/quote] Actually, I don't think you can be a priest and hold public office, so this priest in Congress thing confuses me... The only priest I know of who is in politics is only in politics because he's the Head of State of the Vatican City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 [quote name='the_rev' date='Oct 8 2004, 11:42 PM'] Question, can I be a priest and in politics at the same time. Our deacon said that there was a priest on congress once. [/quote] It think it is forbidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewmeister2 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 [quote name='crusader1234' date='Oct 7 2004, 08:27 PM'] I'd steer clear of that guy 100 percent. He's no friend of the planet or the people who live here. [/quote] Cool Rev! That is neat! Crusader1234, if you are referring to Bush, then I thank God you are Canadian (or at least that is what your profile says), and can't vote! Media screws up so much, its not even funny. Do your research, you will see that Bush is better. Also, read [url="http://www.catholic.com/library/voters_guide.asp"]this[/url]. It is the Catholic's Voters Guide, which tells how you should vote (if you could vote). God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
