@9HDMVWC1yr1Y
No, the truth they base their world off of has been in many times disproven, as well as shown to be not as old as they thought. Where all these bible stories are not written at the same time and just folk tales gathered together.
The Catholic Church has a complicated role in politics, especially when it comes to marriage and education regulations. Religious influence, the separation of church and state, religious freedom, moral advice, and ethical contribution are all involved. In order to serve the needs of a varied population, contemporary administration must strike a balance between individual rights and religious convictions.
I think that the Catholic Church should have a say in political matters, as long as they are only preaching to their believers. I see no issue with the Catholic Church preaching about their views on topics to the believers of Catholisism, and others who are interested, but I do see an issues on the Catholic Church preaching to those who have no desire to hear about what they have to say. We live in a very diverse society, where people are free to believe in whatever they please. With that come understanding that one religion cannot have more power other the masses than others. It simply would not be fair.
@9HDT3P71yr1Y
No, a religion should not have a higher authority than the government, all laws should be controlled by the government, not religious believes.
No, absolutely not. there should be no religious influence on political matters. every single persons and every single religion has different morals and ethics. what is allowed and okay for one person or group of people is not okay for another. i think that people have used religion to cause massive problems in the world and human race today.
@9HPX5S91yr1Y
NO, religion and politics should not overlap ever again ever.
@9HMYH631yr1Y
No I don’t agree that a religion should have say in the law.
@9HL5PRM 1yr1Y
no because our world is very diverse and it is unfair for one religion to have a higher say
@9HFV8561yr1Y
Absolutely not. Everyone has the right to religion therfor no one religion should be used to make laws and have a say in political matters.
@9HR54C812mos12MO
No. All religions are a form of cult, regardless of how many people follow them. Political matters must be discussed under no religious influence, especially in a country with many religious views and cultural backgrounds.
@9HDV9WY1yr1Y
yes, i believe that everyone shall have an opinion and be able to spread what they believe in
@9HDT45D1yr1Y
Yes they should have the right to freedom of speech to talk about their religion and point of views.
@9JXPD9F10mos10MO
traditionally yes, but the church is irrelevant to many now.
@9JS2P7L11mos11MO
no considering some religions have rules that go against basic human rights.
@9JT7Y2L11mos11MO
I agreed because there are things like same sex couples that a lot of religions are against and think that shouldn't exist, and then there are other things like sex that in some religions should only happen when married but a lot of people still do it for their own pleasure without being married.
@9JT3LM711mos11MO
Religious identities, and beliefs counts as a valuable opinion in political matter, that includes laws about marriages and education.
@9HH3BRQ1yr1Y
I feel we should let people Marry who they want to marry but we should be educated with catholic backgrounds because it teaches discipline and religion is a wonderful thing to learn
@9HFGYQG1yr1Y
No, religion should have no impact on laws and policy's being enforced
@9HF3C661yr1Y
Religion should never be mixed with politics or the well being of the people
@9HDYNFK1yr1Y
Catholic church? No, but Christianity as a whole yes
@9HSG25Q12mos12MO
People can believe in whatever they want and they have the right to say whatever they would like as long as it's in a respectful tone. So yes, just be respectful.
@9HDSKP61yr1Y
Considering the Church is not the powerhouse it once was, I do not think so.
@9HD9MZV1yr1Y
No. I believe that the Church and politics should be separate entities. We live in a vary multicultural country and choosing to involve one religious sect over another in political matters is dangerous and non inclusive.
@9HD4NRN1yr1Y
NO, the church is irrelevant to many now. Christianity is different.
@9HD3PKS1yr1Y
Yes and No, they can have their views as long as they keep that to the people who have asked for their opinions. As long as they don't push it on to people who don't want to hear it.
@9JVLKZ710mos10MO
Well if they are going to try and change views of people i dont think they should
@9JVM95FConservative10mos10MO
Well, now one gives a solitary f in the world you are probably in the closest.
@9JVLGJH10mos10MO
i feel that they can have there own oppinions but cant force it upot others
@9JVM95FConservative10mos10MO
Learn to spell u potato. You are clearly stupid and do not deserve to have a computer. I am so disappointed in the human race for letting you type this ridiculous response. Grow up and learn to spell.
@9JVM95FConservative10mos10MO
No, the catholic church should not have a say in the catholic church as when in history has this been a good idea. The church should remain a private entity.
@9JVNRCZ10mos10MO
religions shouldnt have a say on political matter spcially about sexuality because not everybody is catholic so why base your rules off of it
@9JWMF3510mos10MO
Catholic Church should have a say in political matters, like laws about marriage and education as long as the Catholic Church can be trusted and that the Catholic Church says it will do and act on it, and not have another method about going around the truth
@9JX626710mos10MO
It is a choice to be in a certain religion you shouldn’t have to make other people follow your rules they should be by choice not by force
@9HP9J48 1yr1Y
No, I believe that you can have religious schools and beliefs, but church's should not be allowed to prevent or make others feel uncomfortable for who they are as people.
@9HKWP7L1yr1Y
Absolutely not. In a perfect world religion would not exist.
No I don’t think so because not everyone believes in that stuff so it should not have such a big impact on their lives.
@9HHHDMD1yr1Y
I don't believe that religion belongs in politics at all. Countries especially Canada are not based on religion we are very multi cultural. Using religion to forn laws will only cause problems
@9HH9CJQ1yr1Y
sure there still people they can have a say in political matters.
I think no religion should have any solid say in laws but rather have an opinion as it affects those in and out of the religion/faith group.
@9HHJ2CH1yr1Y
No. Why should one groups beliefs govern everyone’s? That’s not freedom.
@9HLZ4PMConservative1yr1Y
I think every one should have a say no matter who you are or what religion you are.
@9HG8FTL1yr1Y
I don't think religion should have a role in politics. Even though I'm catholic, I think it's unfair for everybody else.
@9HFNQBL1yr1Y
It is a personal choice whether or not the Catholic Church should get involved in politics. Some emphasize a secular approach to lawmaking in their defense of the separation of church and state. Some people think that religious organizations can offer insightful viewpoints. Navigating such talks requires striking a balance that respects individual rights and differing viewpoints.
@9HPLKNG1yr1Y
I believe if you invite one faith to the table to participate in political matters, then you need to include all other faiths celebrated in Canada. We're not a majority-religious country so I think the Catholic Church should step back from impact on laws and policy.
@9HDTKRM1yr1Y
i think that if you are getting married and you choose to have a legal marriage as well as a marriage that is recognized by the church. however, the catholic church should not have full say in political acts.
@9HPQH3G1yr1Y
No. Religion should NEVER have a say in political matters unless something threatens the religion as a whole. Religion should never have a say in making laws that takes away rights and freedoms from people's free, personal, and private choices.
@9HDSZK71yr1Y
I think that they should not have any say in these types of laws as they did in the past.
@9HSV7T412mos12MO
No, them kid touching scum bags should have no say
@9HLYLGL1yr1Y
Keep church and state separate, however, many Catholic political matters are very relevant for keeping a society protected and safe.
@9HLTKM21yr1Y
I think that due to religions subjective nature, it is unwise to give one stance or religion political power.
@9HL6FVP1yr1Y
Yes as they have a right to freedom and they should be able to express their opinions
@9HL4P67Conservative1yr1Y
They should have a say in those connected to their own institutions for example their churches, school, etc.
@9HKC9SV1yr1Y
No, religion should have no say in politics, that's how a lot of wars and rebellions happen.
@9HJST5F1yr1Y
The religious state should, but the jurisdiction of the Church is too prone to change, which means that what's morally right will likely change with time, ultimately providing a system with no moral baseline.
@9HJR5QJ 1yr1Y
No, religion should not be in charge of making the laws, considering that not everyone is a Christian. The only case that would be permissible for the Catholic Church to pass laws would be in Vatican City, as it is primarily a Christian country. If the Catholic Church does have a say in the law, then Muslims, Jews and Hindus should too.
@9HJG7RF1yr1Y
I don't think so, because everyone has freedom of religion. But some decisions made by them may influence others.
@9HJBLQY1yr1Y
The Catholic Church should not have a say in political matters, as Canada is a very politically diverse country.
@9HJB8HT1yr1Y
No because people have a right to marry who they wish.
@9HJB3M71yr1Y
Yes, all people, groups, and corporations should get a say in laws
@9HJ9XKF1yr1Y
No, because not everyone is Catholic and believes in what that religion states.
Yes and no. I say yes because marriage is something that should be considered by any church as it is religious and it is the church that is controlling it. Although i dont think they should have a roll in the education as i do feel it is necessary to have belief graded to to be completely forced into someone’s lifestyle.
@9HHG5FL1yr1Y
No. We should let people who they want to marry and pursue the kind of life that fulfills them. Religion should not be constricting!
@9K7SXGF10mos10MO
I feel we should let people Marry who they want to marry but we should be educated with catholic backgrounds because it teaches discipline and religion is a wonderful thing to learn
@9HQXFMQ12mos12MO
Yes, but if people want that. The Church has power, but doesn't own a person.
@9HJC9RS1yr1Y
I think the Catholic Church Should Stay in the right laws and ruley about the bible
@9HGG7QC1yr1Y
No, government affairs should be completely secular, but of course the church’s stance will still have an impact on public opinion.
@27beaudr 1yr1Y
why not they are still people no matter their religion.
@9HJCGKC1yr1Y
I don't mind, unless it offends my religion, then I have no problem with them doing what they want.
@9HF7H2X1yr1Y
No, I don't think they should. The Catholic Church is very biased and I think we need non-biased leadership. Catholicism isn't the only valid way of life and we should put all points of view in perspective especially with the laws that govern our society.
@9HPMQ4X1yr1Y
Yes I believe they should as they have held a high opinion for years and with marriage they are the only people I feel should be talking about it as their the people who do marry partners.
@9HPLX5D1yr1Y
no! if the catholic church has a say, give every single other religion found in the entire country a say. If you wont allow it, then don't do it. dont be a hypocrite and dont let people who take their stance on life from a book written by about a middle eastern man with a god-complex have say over actual still-existing human lives.
@9K5QBS9 10mos10MO
absolutely not. the catholic church has been proven to be extremely biased and discriminatory, sexist, and extremist. as well as being completely ignorant to outside opinion.
@9K3JGRF10mos10MO
I believe all sorts of religions should have a say on a large range of political matters.
@9JWL2XK10mos10MO
ABSOLUTELY NOT. My rights are my rights. You can have your religion respectively until it infringes upon my rights, when it gets to that point, the rights of your religion stop.
@9HLXR291yr1Y
No, despite me being a christian, I believe that they should not have a say on marriage and education because not everyone will agree with them and it will lead to lack of unity.
@9HKNKWK1yr1Y
I think that they should bc itsa part of an importante religion.
@9HJM38T1yr1Y
No, only private matters between its members, as well as being allowed to advertise itself.
@9K72XQF10mos10MO
I think that all religions should have a say so everyone has equal voice in the government
I think the church should have no influence over laws or bylaws.
@9K4Z84G10mos10MO
Everyone should have some sort of say in political matters.
@9K4L9BT10mos10MO
I think so so its not gonna be that free in the country.
@9K27SLWConservative10mos10MO
Yes. Marriage should not even be a political thing. They literally made marriage. It is not for politicians to say anything about marriage.
yes, as they have a right to express there opinions and beliefs
@9JZ63NB10mos10MO
No they should stay out if it and let the people make those.
@9JZ4BJ310mos10MO
The role of the Catholic Church in political matters is a complex and debated issue. Some argue that religious institutions should have a say in shaping certain laws, while others believe in the separation of church and state to ensure equal representation for all beliefs. It's a bit like discussing whether schools should have a say in home rules. Ultimately, societies need to find a balance that respects diverse perspectives while upholding principles of justice and equality.
@9JYLP3N10mos10MO
no. catholic voters absolutely but the separation of ALL denominations of religion and state is important.
@9JXC9V210mos10MO
No because of the toxic image it has been given throughout the wars.
@9JXW8SV10mos10MO
i dont think that they should ever have a say. whatever is said in the church, stays in the church.
Yes, that is their belief and I believe all beliefs and opinions should be heard.
@9JWX53Y10mos10MO
I would agree with this. We should learn about religion of marriage and having the education that we need.
@9JWR98B10mos10MO
The Catholic Church shold have a say in political matters because God created this worlds and all laws are created by Him. We should abide by these regulations instead.
@9JWL69710mos10MO
Depends, they can have a say but thy should not be able to decide.
@9JVWBMFConservative10mos10MO
i think it is still important to have catholic views for our country because i think they have a good value of life.
@9JVT3WT10mos10MO
All Christian Churches should, as our nation is built upon Christian Law, whether you want to belive it or not.
@9JVRZMF10mos10MO
Sure I cant have my say I do not know enough about them to make a good answer.
@9JVLPGV10mos10MO
No. Those who follow their religion should be allowed to continue their practices, but they should not have a greater say in laws that will effect those who follow other religions.
