It's Sunday

Donald Trump, still feeling the aftershocks of his spat with Pope Francis who suggested he was “not a Christian” for proposing a border wall with Mexico, now faces the wrath of his own Presbyterian church leadership who say his hardline views on immigration are out of line with its teachings.

Gradye Parsons, the most senior elected official of the Presbyterian Church (USA) to which Trump was baptized as a child, said that the Bible is clear: followers of the faith have to care for the needy. “Donald Trump’s views are not in keeping with the policies adopted by our church by deliberative process,” he said.

Note:  "baptized as a child"- he has never been involved in any religion other than Trumpism as an adult.

He says he now worships at the Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan, part of the Reformed Church in American denomination.

I'd guess about once every couple of months since he began campaigning last summer.

In an interview with the Guardian, Parsons said that the Presbyterian church had voted several times since the 1990s in its national general assemblies in favor of comprehensive immigration reform that would grant a route to legal status for the 11 million undocumented people currently living in the US. “Our official policy is to encourage immigration reform.”

He added that the founding narrative of Christianity contained a commitment to those most in need – widows, orphans, the oppressed and the alien. “It is clear that God wants us to act on behalf of the stranger. Jesus himself and his parents had to flee the country for their lives when he was born – there are lots of parallels.”

Didn't the Methodist church make an official statement against George W Bush's war-mongering? I seem o recall something like that.  These guys claiming to be Christians and their churches making statements clearly in opposition to their actions should be a little more influencing of their Bible thumping supporters.  However, since the Bible thumpers are no more Christ-like than the candidates, it's no surprise all they need to do is claim Christianity as a faith.

How come the thumpers don't believe Obama when he claims the same?

And, here's something we never hear about...
