A reader sent me an article from the Arlington Catholic Herald (April 26–May 2, p. 7) regarding the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast and comments:

The article covers the recent 8th Annual National Prayer Breakfast in DC and the conflicts between the church and ObamaCare mandates. The article features a picture of all in attendance doing the obligatory act of government worship by standing and reciting the pledge of allegiance/loyalty oath to the government. This act is so ingrained in most of us that few would ask why government worship takes place at a religious meeting, especially when people are supposedly so upset with the government.
