Mt. 22: 15-22: Jesus invites his adversaries to
give political life its true place and not to confuse faith and religious
fanaticism. ‘What belongs to Ceaser ‘ means ‘the kind of things which fall
under his rule’. Thus ‘what belongs to God’ means ‘the obedience of conscience
was due only to God’. So he separates religion from politics. From now on,
religion should not be manipulated for political purposes, nor should religion
confuse its political opponents with the enemies of the kingdom.
