Why are there closing prayers at political conventions? Especially at the RNC, aren’t religion and state supposed to be separate?

Dolan was a bad choice. He should worry about his fellow priests molesting children and not about same sex people loving each other.

The closing prayer shouldhave been short and classy. I’m fond of “Lord, our need is great and we are weak. Guide us in all we do. Amen.”

i don’t really see #16 as opposing…? Since the “institutions… for the nurturing of life and community” can include same sex marriage / queer rights from the beginning. I am not a Christian so I don’t know if it’s explicitly mentioned that they were excluded from the “institutions”. I thought that’s something people misinterpreted later.
