"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."
- Pope Francis
Well said. If only that wisdom was heard by the lawless Fascists in the WH.

Justice matters.
(8,304 posts)9. They still are hypocrites in regard to Jesus Christ's teachings...
No matter the Church they chose to follow, the original son of their deity sided with the poor who seeks help, not with the rich who persecutes the poor.

Ezekiel 16:49
Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."
