America’s Constitutional Republic was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Foremost among these was that God’s law holds supremacy over man’s laws. It follows then that each of us is called to obey man’s laws only insofar as they don’t conflict with God’s law.
Our churches used to know and teach this truth. Unfortunately, too many of them have gotten caught up in fuzzy, feel-good, liberal theology. But thank God, not all of them. It’s really encouraging to see stories like the two below; Christians willing to take a stand for our higher authority.
Because our nation is under God – not over Him.

NY Archbishop Dolan Defends His Flock From the Wolves
The archbishop of New York, Rev. Timothy M. Dolan, recently decreed that not one trace of Catholic property – including “liturgical books or other items” — can be used, however even tangentially to in any way support, recognize, or facilitate homosexual marriages…”
The decree, dated Oct. 18, says that “the married state was established by God and endowed by Him with its own proper nature and laws” and that, “For millennia, civil authority recognized the true nature of marriage” between one man and one woman. That man-woman covenant “is vital to the human family and to the continuation of the human race.”
“Recognizing my responsibility as Diocesan Bishop to guide the Faithful by clearly teaching the truths of the Faith with charity and without compromise, I hereby decree the following diocesan policy regarding same-sex civil marriages,” reads the decree. “This policy is to be followed by all persons whose activities are subject to my moral authority as Archbishop of New York.”
Amen to that Father.

With apologies to leftists, socialists, marxists and other agnostic/atheists – whether you chose to believe it or not there is a higher authority than the government. And one day, we will all be held to account to Him as individuals, for the life we lived here on earth.
