Stephanie Block of CMC would say "YES".
Commenting on the Faith in Public Life groups affiliation with The Maryland Catholic Conference, Block writes:
Does this mean that the Maryland Catholic Conference is supporting the legalization of same-sex marriage? Yes, it does. By its placement among progressive-minded organizations, the force of its reputation as a religious representative of the Holy, Roman Catholic Church gives progressive political goals moral credibility. They are supporting same-sex marriage.
Let's insert Rick Warren's Saddleback Church for the Maryland Catholic Conference and see how Block's statement would read if she reported on the forum sponsorship between Saddleback and Faith in Public Life:
Are there any Scriptures that would shed light on the topic of a church aligning itself with an organization such as faith in Public Life?

Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Romans 16:17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. 18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

One would think by now that many more Christians would be able to clearly see that Rick Warren is a wolf in sheep's clothing, a false teacher who speaks lies and who denies the truth of the scriptures through his countless, blatant actions and statements that vindicate all notions of his deceptive and wicked ways...all performed in the name of the Lord of course. He continually violates the commands of God's Word and goes his own way, twisting scripture to fit his desires, and leading thousands, if not millions, astray from the truth by his misuse of the office of pastor. One need not look much farther than his membership on the Council on Foreign Relations, a group whose explicit goal is eliminating all national sovereignty in order to pave the way to world government. It is logical to connect to dots and see this false prophet's aim to unify all under a world religion. Am I the only one who sees that this is being done so blatantly? Wake up, brothers and sisters!
