In the end, perhaps @realDonaldTrump goes down in the same way the #monster Al Capone did, we knew about everything else, but #tax evasion and #fraud ultimately take him down.

You know, I’m not a #Methodist so I can’t comment on the decisions that #UMCGC comes to. As a brother #Christian, though, it seems to me that schism is always opposed to the words of #Jesus in John 17, and always a sad thing. Let’s pray for them.

Like I said, not uncontroversial. Still, the film itself was a good one on its form merits, if an act of historical fiction, and the themes therein are, on their own, worthy of discussion.

Because this wouldn’t be a conversation if you had. 🤷🏻♂️ We basically agree. mY saying “sides” was a common colloquial way of expressing that I don’t know what someone thinks about something, but, Jesus clearly takes side with the poor & oppressed, the unborn fall in that group.
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) February 6, 2019
To say that a person falls on one side of the issue or the other? Not problematic, I’m just saying It’s not clear to me, either way, where you’re coming from. I’m not making eschatological judgements here. 🤷🏻♂️

Yeah, you need to read this in the context of the rest of my tweets for the night. Not a fan of @realDonaldTrump, but abortion is abhorrent to me, I’m not giving the Dems a pass just because they are more blatant in their embrace of it.

Dear Jerry, as a fellow minister in the Lord and worker in the vineyard, I’d encourage you to think about your observation of the first commandment. This tweet feels incongruous with that commandment to me, as a fellow follower of Christ.
