Many militants of the secular cause look astonishingly like clergy. Worse: like caricatures of clergy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The clergy is in the same business as actors, just a different department.
I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.
The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.
Politicians use religion, and they get their troops riled up with religion.
Whatever flaws or personal failings afflict them, it remains the case that the overwhelming majority of priests and politicians are honourable and honest - seeking to live out their beliefs and serve society.
You know you're in a bad movie when the Catholic clergy is being played by Jews.
From the beginning, there have been some religious leaders who greeted the funding of faith-based social services by government with ambivalence.
One can't understand the Christian Right and similar movements unless one sees them as reactive - they're reacting to what they call secular humanism.
The road to the sacred leads through the secular.
Churches can become places of cynicism, resistance, and pessimism.
