Religion vs politics

The same questions a reader raises in the Jan. 2 letter to the editor regarding Cardinal Timothy Dolan should be asked of leading evangelical leaders such as Jerry Falwell Jr., who endorsed Donald Trump, vice president Mike Pence and a whole host of politicians too many to mention.

Although attendance at Trump’s inauguration does not necessarily mean you agree with his policies, it is a fact that hypocrisy has spread like wildfire throughout our political and religious leaders.

Sad and troublesome.
