...congregants with you as possible and find a good church.

There is no good reason organized religion and liberal politics can't be compatible. The churches were a huge organizing tool for Republicans this year, and Democrats need to organize in the churches too.

I loved the story about the DU'er who stormed out of her sunday service when the priest started canvassing for Bush last weekend. But I loved it because I imagined that she was encouraging others to follow her and because I imagined that they all weren't going to walk out that door and then go home and watch TV or work in their gardens. I imagined that they were going to go to another church which preached real christianity and that they were going to bring over their friends from their old church.

1. Great post, If you are Catholic go to this website!
www.calltoaction.org It's a group of liberal Catholics out to reform the Church. We need as many members as we can get.
