To the editor: Thanks, columnist Gustavo Arellano, for reminding many Christians and Catholics of the significance of repentance throughout Lent (“For this Lent, could Christians repent of Trump and the warmongers he’s unleashed,” March 6). It’s painful to be reminded that many believers in Christ assist somebody who minimize meals packages for youngsters and the aged, teams that face loads of meals insecurity. Ought to such believers repent for persevering with to reward somebody who minimize well being advantages for tens of millions of People struggling severe sicknesses?
Many Christians and Catholics should ask themselves, did their non secular training advocate separating kids from their dad and mom? Let’s not neglect that swaths of non secular folks disregarded the bragging of a person who boasted that he might freely violate girls’s our bodies, that very same man later discovered liable for sexually abusing a lady 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 assist and endorse somebody who dedicated the above described conduct. It’s extra disgraceful to encourage their church members and parishioners to proceed to assist somebody who has and can proceed to violate their non secular rules. It’s too late to undo voting for somebody, however not too late to repent throughout Lent for persevering with to assist that somebody named Donald J. Trump.
