What does Trump think about Putin’s war on religion? | Opinion @Newsweek: "ROC accepts as 'traditional' only those who are loyal to the government." Compare #China @ForeignAffairs MY/JN 2017: 5 official sanctioned [allowed] religions in country. No "house churches". #Vietnam in #America [churches for ulterior motives, i.e., draft resisting (CA), growing pot (Federal Court, Colorado, Gorsuch decision) peyote in ceremonies (Native Americans)].
Roman Catholic priest gave a homily on loyalty to "The Church" or "The Pope" and/or the God within you without being compromised by a loyalty to State that is not righteous.
I didn't agree with the premise at the time, but now I'm open minded. I wouldn't say I'm "American First" as Trump wants me to believe, but I do have a sense of a patriotism slipping away like mercury.
Sincerely,
John Rubens
