In response to a few writers: WHEN A RELIGIOUS BODY UNDERTAKES TO TRY TO ALTER OR CHANGE THE LAWS OF THE CITY, PROVINCE OR STATE IN WHICH IT EXISTS, IT BECOMES A POLITICAL LOBBY. IT IS, THEREFORE, SUBJECT TO ALL THE SCRUTINY, OPPOSITION AND RESISTENCE THAT ANY OTHER POLITICAL ENTITY IS SO SUBJECTED. THIS IS QUITE PROPER AND NORMAL. ONE CANNOT, AS AN ORGAINISATION, WITH THE FUNDS AND PERSONPOWER OF THAT ORGANISATION, SEEK TO INFLUENCE OR INTRODUCE LEGISLATION WITHOUT BECOMING A POLITICAL, RATHER THAT ONLY A RELGIOUS, ENTITY. AS A POLITICAL ENTITY, THE RELIGION MUST, IN ANY DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY, BE SUBJECT ALL THE SAME CONDITIONS AS ANY OTHER POLITICAL ENTITY. IT IS NEITHER MORAL NOR JUST FOR THEM TO TRY TO HIDE BEHIND A RELIGIOUS TITLE, WHEN THEY HAVE BECOME A POLITICAL LOBBY, A POLITICAL ENTITY.
