Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but when Trump was elected in 2016, Justin Welby couldn’t resist mentioning the bitter campaign and I can’t help suspecting that his prayers for the American people were for protection from the policies of their new president.
A year later, Welby confessed that he could not understand why so many Christians supported Trump.
From here:
As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, my continuing prayers are that the United States of America may find reconciliation after a bitter campaign, and that Mr Trump may be given wisdom, insight and grace as he faces the tasks before him. Together we pray for all the people of the United States.
In contrast, now Biden seems likely to become president, Welby has somehow failed to notice that the 2020 campaign was even more bitter and reconciliation in even shorter supply. Instead, we have a probable future of hope and a fresh vision of the common good.
Not that Welby is biased in any way but when Biden pronounced himself president-elect, I could here Welby’s sigh of relief all the way from Canada.
From here:
As @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris prepare to take office, may God grant them wisdom and courage to face the great challenges of leadership ahead. For all the American people, I pray for hope and a fresh vision of the common good.
Since the Second World War, in almost all cases, the Democrats and the Republicans have been taking turns in occupying the White House.
In wake of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s November 12, 2020, warning that religious liberty – the foundation of The American Republic – could become “a second- class right”, is it not incumbent on all faith leaders who are witnessing CCP China’s, and their global proxies, ie Canada, brutal war on all faiths to take a public stand, not on partisan grounds, but rather on the very ground on which their own feet are planted as people of faith, and stand for the one leader in American who has restored religious liberty not only on home soil, but by its official office to represent it throughout the world? ‘Happy Holidays’ supplants ‘Merry Christmas’ in CCP China. Exhibit no.1 – the Hunter Biden emails re. business, etc.
That same office of religious liberty was immediately dismantled by the present Canadian Federal Government who have allied with Globalist Marxism-Cultural Marxism in their own war on faith; and now with the grievous September 22, 2018, ‘Agreement’ of Marxist Pope Francis with CCP China, justly rebuked by Archbishop Vigano.
The stakes for Western Judaeo-Christian civilization never have been higher is the sobering import of
‘Trump vs. Biden; A SCOTUS Study Guide’ , freely published at ‘Israel National News’, November 12, 2020. ‘Tolle et lege’ for whom the Bell of Liberty is tolling everywhere!
