Jesus and Giuliani
February 28, 2007
Everybody loves to beat up Rudy Giuliani for his liberal positions on abortion and marriage.
Most "experts" believe he has virtually no chance of winning the Evangelical vote. They may be right, but look what the Brody File found. In 2001, Giuliani came to the defense of Jesus (not that he needs it). Read the paragraph below from BBC News from February of 2001:
A photograph depicting Christ's last supper, which features Jesus as a naked black woman has been described by the mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, as outrageous and disgusting.
The picture is part of a new exhibition of the work of black photographers which opens at the Brooklyn museum of art on Friday. Mr Giuliani has said he will establish a committee to look at standards of decency in publicly subsidised institutions...Mr Giuliani said that the exhibits were "anti-Catholic," adding that he had asked city lawyers to explore legal action against the museum.
"If it were done against another group there would be an outcry in this city that would demand that they take the photograph down, but anti-Catholicism is just accepted prejudice, it is allowed in the city and in our society,"
You can read the article here.
Okay, so it's one nugget in Giuliani's favor, but it raises a larger question for Evangelicals. I realize there is not supposed to be a religious test for President, but let's get real. Evangelicals are talking about Romney's Mormonism.
So the question is: From a faith perspective, do you go with a Mormon who may share your values or a Catholic who may not? Are some Evangelicals so dead set against a Mormon becoming President that they would rather have Giuliani in charge?
It's a conversation going on right now. The Brody File wants to know. We will post your comments. Email me.
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.
