Do you agree in the separation of the church and state of the Philippines?

The state (or country) should always stay out of the affairs of the church. The church should be free from any restrictions from the state since the head is Christ Himself. This doesn't mean that the church is above the law. The church should obey the law unless the law requires disobedience to God, at which point the church should disobey the law in order to obey God. Any idea of "Separation of Church and State" should be for the church's protection from the state, otherwise the result will be to "kick God out" of the country so to speak and that is never a good thing!

How can we ensure that religion is separate from the control of state?

State control of religion is associated with religious control of state, although the latter is usually more subtle. Some people of strong religious faith may regard a degree of religious influence in politics to be a good thing, but overlook the consequent risk of the state influencing religion.One way to avoid state control of religion is to be alert to any attempts by religion to control the political agenda. Another is to make the political leaders aware that we want a clear separation of church and state.


Why did colonist think it was important to include separation of church and state was good for the new government?

The general fear of state-imposed religion came as a result of Europe's oppressive and discriminatory regimes. It's important to remember that most the colonies were peopled by those fleeing religious persecution or at least seeking religious freedom. It is important to realize that the separation of Church and State is a one way separation. To explain this think of a two way mirror, with the church on one side and the government on the other. The church can see the government but the government can only see it's self. You see religion was held deeply by the founders, and they new of it's importance. But, they didn't want a government to pick one religion over another. So to this end They made sure that religious freedom would be a large part of the frame work of the United States. So the Church as with the mirror example was involved in and part of the United States and it's right's but the government was not part of the Church in any way whatsoever.


Is there good in Church?

There is good and evil in people, so yes.Roman Catholic AnswerBy definition, everything that God has created is good. God created the Church, therefore the Church is Good.
