“The Church in the Public Square: How the Church Speaks Today” by Frank Pavone

“The church has a mission not only to evangelize individuals but to transform society. We are called to bring the light of the gospel into the public square, influencing the culture and the political sphere in ways that reflect God’s justice and mercy.”…

Separation of Church and State:

• “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” 
• Free Exercise Clause: This clause protects individuals’ rights to practice their religion freely without government interference.
