No Pope has ever done this. But the current Pope orders Catholics to enforce church doctrine in secular governments at the expense of American liberties. Kudos to the Governor of New Jersey who has choosen to work for people rather than the church:

from NewsDay of 10 Apr 2004 Bishop raps governor on church issues
The bishop said it "gives him great annoyance" when Catholic politicians don't adhere to Catholic teachings and he specifically targeted McGreevey.
"When he refers to himself as a devout Catholic and supports legislation and programs that are contrary to the teaching of the Holy Father and the bishops, he is not a devout Catholic," Smith said. "He cannot compromise what it means to be a Catholic. I speak, as your bishop, for the devout Catholics of the Diocese of Trenton. Jim McGreevey does not."

The Bishop of Trenton is doing exactly what the Pope has ordered. This being the same church as to promote hate against gays. Only Satanic institutions promote hate - according to Church doctrine. Which should McGreevey do? Support satanic hate of the Catholic Church - or promote the principles of America?
