Churches consist of humans. Humans are fallible. "We all like sheep have gone astray." That is why there is no such thing as a perfect church on earth, but we are all trying to follow Christ, I think.
I am not one to criticize President Obama: however I wonder if his habit of using executive orders to achieve goals will backfire on us, depending on who his successor will be.
No, there's no perfect church, and can't be, so long as I'm part of it.
The exaggerated partisanship of recent years seems to have kept most left- and right-wing politicians, with important offices, from so much as talking to each other, let alone cooperating. The executive orders seem to be one result of that. Which doesn't make all of them smart actions by the President. As I understand it, there have been lots of other executive orders, by other Presidents, but they haven't been criticized so much. Possibly because their substance wasn't as important -- I don't know. One executive order is scheduled to be examined by the Supreme Court soon.
Thanks.
