If a time ever comes when the religious Jews, Protestants, and Catholics ever have to suffer under a totalitarian state, which would deny them the right to worship God according to the light of their conscience, it will be because for years they thought it made no difference what kind of people represented them in Congress, and because they abandoned the spiritual in the realm of the temporal."

Diocese of Tyler, Office of the Bishop...
Dear Flock of Northeast Texas,
As the Roman Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Tyler, and shelpherd of God's flock in the part of the world, I want to address every man, woman and child who resides in the thirty-three counties that make up the Diocese of Tyler. Although I have a clear understanding that approximately 1.5 million of you are not Roman Catholic Christians, I know many of you are Christians of other traidtions and communities. The message I have for you, the community of God's people rooted in faith, specifically in the Judeo-Crhistian Tradition is one of great importance and based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
