Regarding: "President-elect Donald Trump will uphold Christian values, a prominent U.S. cardinal has said."
- Sadly, Archb. Raymond, once of St. Louis, lastly of the Apostolic Signatura, currently chaplain to the Knights / Ladies of Malta, has again found another petard upon which to rise before us.
- There is no doubt that Donald Trump is aware of what is required of him by Christianity. Much of his criticism about and brickbats toward those he disdains is premised on Christian ethics -- do not steal, do not lie, do not commit adultery.
- However, in this way he is not upholding Christian values. Were he to be upholding Christian values he would not have used the law to steal, would not have used the law to cover up his lack of truth telling, would not have used to the law to commit adultery and to practice serial monogamy.
- Archb. Raymond's lack of insight into the relationship between what one says and what one does, especially for an elected leader is his own serious failure.
