To the editor: Thanks, columnist Gustavo Arellano, for reminding many Christians and Catholics of the significance of repentance throughout Lent (“For this Lent, may Christians repent of Trump and the warmongers he’s unleashed,” March 6). It’s painful to be reminded that many believers in Christ help somebody who reduce meals applications for youngsters and the aged, teams that face loads of meals insecurity. Ought to such believers repent for persevering with to reward somebody who reduce well being advantages for thousands and thousands of People struggling critical diseases?
Many Christians and Catholics should ask themselves, did their spiritual schooling advocate separating kids from their dad and mom? Let’s not neglect that swaths of spiritual folks disregarded the bragging of a person who boasted that he might freely violate girls’s our bodies, that very same man later found liable for sexually abusing a girl and defaming her. A person convicted of 34 felony fraud counts involving an alleged sexual relationship with an grownup movie star whereas he was married.
It’s much more disgusting to know pastors and clergymen nonetheless help and endorse somebody who dedicated the above described conduct. It’s extra disgraceful to encourage their church members and parishioners to proceed to help somebody who has and can proceed to violate their spiritual rules. It’s too late to undo voting for somebody, however not too late to repent throughout Lent for persevering with to help that somebody named Donald J. Trump.
