Preachers must leave politics out of the pulpit

I am very much opposed to ministers using the pulpit to espouse partisan politics.  By rights, the church should use its tax exempt status.  Any minister or priest has the right to his political opinion.  He can even promote his viewpoint in the coffee shop but not in the church office.  I long ago committed if my pastor voices partisan views I will get up and walk out of the church.

Given my opinion it is understandable that I am uncomfortable with the laying of hands on Santorium a few days ago.  Those preachers are made to look foolish by Santorium's statement that Protestant churches are not Christian.
