Am I contributing to someone’s suicide?

Faith Within a Culture Clash (Part 2)
Having outlined a number of ways to explain and validate the Church’s posture of political neutrality, it is time to notice the massive exception that accompanies the neutrality statement, an exception that might well prove to be more important than the rule.
