For too long, there's been a one-dimensional understanding of faith in politics. After more than 40 years of advocating for a variety of federal policies - from health care and the economy to our immigration system, and more -- NETWORK knows that faith touches every aspect of our shared life here in the United States. We need to become multi-issue voters. All of these issues are connected, and they are integral to promoting a society and economy of inclusion. In his speaking and writing, Pope Francis reminds us of this, and urges us not to ignore injustice or act as though one issue is more important than others.

(10,673 posts)Come on, Trump has:
Locked up children in cages on the border
Approved Putin's bounty on American soldiers
Forced schools to reopen condemning many teachers
Paid off porn stars
Cost 40M Americans their jobs
Ignored the CV19, killing 168,000 Americans
Tried to destroy Social Security and Medicare
Colaborated with Putin on major trade issues
Pardoned traitors of our government
Pocketed millions of dollars intended for the poor
How much of this is part of Jesus' teaching?
None of it in the Bible I spent a lifetime studying.
