Vatican officials celebrate funeral for homeless man in Rome
- Jan 26, 2021
In his first comments since President Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol Building in protest of the 2020 election this past Wednesday, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, condemned the president for instigating the behavior.
After hours of chaos in the nation’s capital Wednesday where President Donald Trump supporters descended upon and infiltrated the Capitol building in protest of the 2020 election, Catholic leaders across the country condemned the violence and called for peace.
During his campaign and in February once in office, President Trump promised to “destroy” the Johnson Amendment and “allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear.” Many religious leaders are opposed to the removal of the Amendment saying it would have a detrimental effect on them.
As the Trump administration approaches the 100-day mark white evangelical Christians, who still support the president, look back at the successes and failures of his first months in office. In a very short time Trump has acted on abortion, religious freedom and immigration earning both outcry and support from Christians.
