Only in prayer. Our Sunday School class is committed to praying at 6:00 PM for our country. Didn't suggest what to pray; just pray.

No. And if it did, it would no longer be my church.

So, the Church can talk about Satan but not about his children, the liberals.

Just in prayer. I’m in a rural parish in southern Kentucky. I would imagine that there are very few leftists in our parish.

No, I doubt my church has 5/500 democrats and people are coming to faith weekly. I doubt our pastor feels a need to go political.

My pastor pointed to scripture to determine how to vote. For anyone desiring a real relationship with Christ, scripture is critical to determining everything we do, including who to vote for. It’s clear. No need to beat it into the ground. I got the impression that everyone in attendance this Sunday were basically in one accord in voting from Trump based on that, but I go to a church that focuses exclusively on scripture for everything, including how to treat those who are spiritually blinded, and lost with love.
He showed where we absolutely must stand for the truth, and not be ashamed of it, because if you love someone, you will tell them the truth when it means so much to their eternal soul, but also in love, just as Christ never hid from the truth, but also said it in love with hope, forgiveness for those seeking it, and restoration to Him.
I came away with a message of our need to absolutely make a stand, but never allow it to turn into hate, and always realize this, that NO MATTER WHO WINS this Tuesday, Jesus is still on the throne, He is still Lord, and one day, today, tomorrow, or sometime in the future, everyone on this planet will bow their knee and announce that He is.

Yes. He essentially said he "you all know who I voted for, but here's a list of Christian things on the ballot that helped me make my decision for you to decide"
Not sure if any of y'all heard of or follow Eric Metexas. He wrote a book on Pastors/Churches that say they should stay out of politics. I'll have to try to find it, but recently came across sermon about that at a major church in the DFW area. Found it interesting to hear that this fear to talk about it came from an LBJ law in the 50s that coward pastors that said nothing and didn't fight that law.

Do you happen to attend St. Angela?

One of the more conservative PCA congregations.
We always pray for civil authorities. Prayed specifically for mercy and a favorable election outcome during time of supplication, but no one was politicking in the pulpit.

He made it Biblical bringing up the lost Jews and choosing to sacrifice their children to a false god.
Reminded all of the DNC and the abortion bus they invited to the convention.
You make your choice.

Just a reminder to go vote. Vote how you feel God is leading you to vote and which candidate best reflects how you believe, and that no matter what happens, whenever we wake up Wednesday morning, God is not surprised by the outcome, and Jesus is still King.

If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, then you really shouldn’t need the pastor, or priest to guide you in how to vote. You already know all too well if your faith is actual faith and you believe in the words of our Lord, and wish to follow Jesus in your life.
Especially in this election where it couldn’t be more cut and dry which side is which.

My pastor is my brother in Christ. As are all sisters and brothers that believe on Him. Heavenly Father have mercy on our nation and your sons and daughters.

I'm a member of Prestonwood Baptist Church. Dr. Jack Graham was on President Trump's Faith Advisory Council during his term (and should Trump win again, most likely he will be again).
So that should answer the question.

I think this is the link you want (as I mentioned before, I'm a member here; I had not heard Metexas speak before that day, and now my SO is a huge fan of his):

The only comment my church has made is about amendment 4 in FL ( abortion: about keeping the current protections in place.). Haven't touched anything else .... Including marijuana

Yup thats it. He had a radio show I used to listen too, but no longer on. So I've been keeping tabs on him for a few years now. He's Orthodox Greek iirc. Sharp guy. Your link title helped me find the YT version, as I don't have FB.

Catholics don't have to wonder what our Church thinks because Pope has already urged us to vote for the "lesser of two evils". When you ponder that, you are going to compare Trump's Evil (plenty of fornication) with Harris's Evil (plenty of adultery AND killing unborn human beings), and you will deduce the logical conclusion that Pope urges us to Vote TRUMP.
I hear a lot of Catholics saying Pope Francis is too liberal.
What makes you think that if Pope Francis were an American citizen, he wouldn't vote for Kamala?
