Keep religion and politics separate
ARCHBISHOP Nicholas Chia has shown leadership as the head of the Catholic Church ("Group seeking to use church for political aims: Govt"; yesterday).
Catholics must rally round to support him and not let organisations or individuals show a lack of propriety towards him.
The Archbishop has every right to decide on his actions.
I am encouraged by his affirmation that religion and politics should be, and will be, kept separate.
As a Catholic, I will always accept the Archbishop's decree on the Church's teachings, even if I may not be comfortable with it.
But no religious leader can claim to represent the political views of his flock.
We all have diverse views and support different political groups; it does not matter what political orientation the Archbishop or any religious leader has.
It is only wrong when they take it to the pulpit or claim that it represents the political views of their followers.
As a Catholic, my view of my beloved Church is that we must close ranks, and not let the Church be hijacked for political motives.
