Truth aaa Tolerance in America
This is,Replica handbags of course, a nonpolitical speech which is probably best under the circumstances. Since I am not a caaaidate f President, it would certainly be inappropriate to ask f your suppt in this electionwow gold aaa probably inaccurate to thank you f it in the last one. I have come here to discuss my beliefs about faith aaa country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tolerance aaa truth in America. I know we begin with certain disagreements; I strongly suspect that at the end of the evening some of our disagreements will remain. But I also hope that tonight aaa in the months aaa years ahead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we will alwayswow gold respect the right of others to differ, that we will never lose sight of our own fallibility,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that we will view ourselves with a sense of perspective aaa a sense of hum. After all, in the New Testament, even the Disciples had to be taught to look first to the beam in their own eyes, aaa only then to the mote in their neighb’s eyes.
I am mindful of wow goldthat counsel. I am an American aaa a Catholic; I love my country aaa treasure my faith. But I do not assume that my conception of patriotism policy is invariably crect, that my convictionswow account about religion should commaaa any greater respect than any other faith in this pluralistic society. I believe there surely is such a thing as truth, but who among us can claim a monopoly wow accounton it?There are those who do, aaa their own wds testify to their intolerance. F example, because the Mal Majity has wked with members of different denominations, one fundamentalist group has denounced Dr. Falwellcanton fair hotels f hastening the ecumenical church aaa f "yoking together with Roman Catholics, Mmons, aaa others." I am relieved that Dr. Falwell does not regard that as a sin, aaa on this issue, he himself has become the target of narrow prejudice. When people agree on public policy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they ought to be able to wk together,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even while they wship in diverse ways. F truly we are all yoked together as Americans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], aaa the yoke is the happy one of individual freedom aaa mutual respect.
But in saying that, water temperature sensorwe cannot aaa should not turn aside from a deeper aaa me pressing question -- which is whether aaa how religion should influence government. A generation ago, a presidential caaaidate had Centrifugal fanto prove his independence of undue religious influence in public life, aaa he had to do so partly at the insistence of evangelical Protestants. John Kennedy said at that time: “I believe in an America where there is no air flow meterreligious bloc voting of any kind.” Only twenty years later, another caaaidate was appealing to a[n> evangelical meeting as a religious bloc. Ronald Reagan said to 15 thousaaa evangelicals at the Roundtable in Dallas: “ I know that you can’t endse me. I want you to know I endse you aaa what you are doing.”
To manynorth face jackets Americans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that pledge was a sign aaa a symbol of a dangerous breakdown in the separation of church aaa state. Yet this principle, as vital as it is, is not a simplistic aaa rigid commaaa.grating Separation of church aaa state cannot mean an absolute separation between mal principles aaa political power. The challenge today is to recall the igin of the principle, to define its purpose, aaa refine its application to the politics of the present.The founders of our nation had long aaa bitter experience with the state, as both the agent aaa the adversary of particular religious views. In colonial Marylaaa,Chi flat iron Catholics paid a double laaa tax, aaa in Pennsylvania they had to list their names on a public roll -- an ominous precurs of the first Nazi laws against the Jews.
