From Jacob Lupfer:
Trump’s coterie of “faith advisers” is mostly made up of hucksters, charlatans, publicity hogs and grifters. They are a peripatetic parody of themselves, and not one member of the Trumpist clergy offers a religious message I would take seriously for a moment. They sold their birthright for a mess of pottage and ought to take the gospel of Jesus Christ out of their mouths until they repent of the damage they’ve done to his name. [Religion News Service]
Which will never happen. They defined success as wealth and influence, and they got it. Only their congregations are the losers, and most of them are getting something out of the deal, or otherwise they wouldn’t stick around.
But those followers’ support of President Trump marks them as manifestly failing any test of morality.
