  6.  Lucien Studio  I’m going to look at the bright side of the evangelical embrace of a man who is on his third wife, cheated on all three of them, paid off women to hide his affairs with them, has been charged with sexual misconduct, including rape, by over 20 women, and who can’t seem to tell the truth. First, Trump has exposed the hypocrisy of many evangelical Christians who, for decades, have declared themselves judge and jury of moral behavior. Defending Trump, however, has forced them to look beyond his behavior and, thus, makes it difficult to judge anyone else. Post-Trump, anything goes, as long as their guy sits in the White House and brings them political influence. The standards of Jesus Christ have not changed, of course. His teachings about caring for each other, stand the test of time. But the standards of evangelical Christians have changed as the data confirms. Oh, they will say that, when it comes to Trump, they believe in redemption, forgiveness, and, of course, everyone can be saved. But the foundation of forgiveness is confession. The Sacrament of Confession within the Catholic faith requires a confession of your sins, a request for forgiveness, and repentance. Trump says that he “never apologizes.” Instead, he denies and lies some more. Trump has set us free from the judgment of evangelical Christians who no longer stand by the values of Christ, but the values of Trump. Their loyalty to Trump in light of previously condemnable behavior exposes not only their hypocrisy but the inconsistency of their beliefs. Give him credit — only Trump could have exposed their double standards so clearly. What has Trump done, personally or professionally, to help the poor, to help immigrants fleeing violence and poverty, or to help people with disabilities? What has Trump done to help our children, improve their schools, or ensure that our children have better access to health care? I know what Christ did and what he would likely do today. Compared to Trump, the differences are pretty stark.
