Comment: "But that's how we've always done it."
I still think it's wrong.
How "informed" did the congregants become?
"Don't vote for her, she's beholden to Demon Rum and is an Episcopalian!"
"He attends communion every week and always donates generously to St. Peter's Pence Collection!"
"She gives to Israel, of course we want her!"
"He consorts with known homosexuals! Do we want a sinner in the statehouse?"
That's being "informed" alright.
