Agreed of course.
From the Catholic Church
"I wish to reiterate that the Catholic Church is not aligned with any political party, and neither is the bishops’ conference," the letter goes on.
"No matter who occupies the White House or holds the majority on Capitol Hill, the Church’s teachings remain unchanged. It is our hope that the leadership of our Country will reconsider those actions which disregard not only the human dignity of a few, but of us all," it reads.
"Following the ancient tradition, Pope Francis has declared 2025 as a Jubilee Year of Hope. As Christians, our hope is always in Jesus Christ, who guides us through storm and calm weather. He is the source of all truth," it goes on.
"Our prayer is one of hope that, as a Nation blessed with many gifts, our actions demonstrate a genuine care for our most vulnerable sisters and brothers, including the unborn, the poor, the elderly and infirm, and migrants and refugees. The just Judge expects nothing less," it concludes.
Between this letter and the blunt sermon remarks delivered by Episcopalian Bishop Mariann Budde at the National Cathedral, this has been a historically bad week for relations between Trump and key religious leaders.
As it turns out, real Christians don't support hatred, bigotry, and fascist politics.
The famous Gandhi quote applies to Trump and his Evangelical supporters more than ever: "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
