                                                            A Virginia mother is speaking out after her son's funeral was interrupted by police, who raided the church and arrested her son's best friend before he could give a eulogy. Should the cops have been more respectful to the deceased? 
                                                    
                        
                    Pope Francis Declares Death Penalty Is Never Acceptable

                                                            In a definitive statement, Pope Francis has declared that the death penalty is wrong in all cases – no matter how severe the crime committed. Experts point out that this announcement will place U.S. officials of Catholic faith in a bind. 
                                                    
                        
                    Does God Hate Immigrants? Religious Leaders Split Over Travel Ban

                                                            Although some faith groups oppose President Trump’s controversial travel ban, many heartily support it. Recent studies show that religious support for immigration is in the dumps, leading some to question whether churches are really acting in accordance with the tenets of their faith. 
                                                    
                        
                    Supreme Court Sides With Anti-Abortion Pregnancy Centers

                                                            The Supreme Court has granted controversial "crisis pregnancy centers" new freedom to operate without mandatory disclaimers about their views on abortion. These pregnancy centers – many of which are run by religious organizations – frequently pose as medical clinics, though they don’t offer medical advice.

                    Jeff Sessions Cites Bible to Justify Separating Immigrant Children from Parents

                                                            A controversial new Trump administration policy calls for separating immigrant parents from their children if they try to cross the border. But when it comes to carrying out this brutal task, Attorney General Jeff Sessions truly believes God is on his side.

Duplantis explained that God wants him to have the plane so he can spread the gospel worldwide. Oh, and he claims that if Jesus were alive today, he'd be doing the same thing.

Proponents of gender equality applauded the decision, but critics insist it's just political correctness.

                                                            Our elected officials have a history of violating Christian values, and new allegations involving Donald Trump appear to fit this pattern. Trump reportedly had an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels back in 2006.

Does power corrupt?
