Not a Deal Breaker?
Most of us have seen the reports on the Epstein/Trump file releases. The President, whom Epstein said was his best friend for many years, is not only mentioned thousands of times, but is accused in several FBI interviews with victims of assault. I don't know how all this will impact the American people or specifically US Catholics.
But I have a different, although related issue that is bothering me. Trump was adjudicated and found liable for sexual assault before the last election. And this was on top of his own admission that he would grab women by the genitals, and would walk in on teen beauty pagent constestants when they were changing. This, this alone was Not A Deal Breaker for the majority of US Catholics. We need to seriously examin the attitude of our Catholic culture towards women. Again, the fact that sexual assault was not a deal breaker for supporting this man, is a call to repentance.
