Warning issued over 'spirit of adulation' of presidentPosted: February 28, 2009

In a message at St. Basil's Church in Toronto recently, Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput warned against following blindly and what amounts to obama worship.
even before Obama was elected, he considered the now-president "the most committed 'abortion-rights' presidential candidate … since the Roe v. Wade abortion decision in 1973."
He said Obama's campaign "removed any suggestion that killing an unborn child might be a regrettable thing."
The result, he said, is that members of the church "owe no leader any submission or cooperation in the pursuit of grave evil."
"In fact, we have the duty to change bad laws and resist grave evil in our public life, both by our words and our non-violent actions," he said. "Second, in democracies, we elect public servants, not messiahs. It's worth recalling that despite two ugly wars, an unpopular Republican president, a fractured Republican party, the support of most of the American news media and massively out-spending his opponent, our new president actually trailed in the election polls the week before the economic meltdown."
"We need to remember that tolerance is not a Christian virtue. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty – these are Christian virtues. And obviously, in a diverse community, tolerance is an important working principle. But it's never an end itself. In fact, tolerating grave evil within a society is itself a form of serious evil," he said.
When I read that, I was reminded of what Chaim repeatedly says: "If people feel mercy toward the cruel, then they will be cruel to the merciful." "If you are kind to the cruel, then you will be cruel to the kind."
