I am also very much aware of what our historical reputation can do either to or for people in the future who will need to look back on a Christian witness. What will they see? When we look back in history we can, for example, at least bring up the Christian Abolitionists during the era of slavery in America and Britain. Even Germans can look to those who resisted, such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer. How will history judge your witness in the age of Trump?
Nonetheless, anyone has read my articles and calls me Leftwing is either a liar or a functional illiterate. I am simply not radically Rightwing. Too many people today conflate Rightwing extremism, and I mean the lunatic fringe, with Conservatism.

I don’t agree with your politics Father, but the allegations that you’re a “radical leftist” while certain other figures are alleging that they’ve been cancelled because the Archbishop might secretly been unserious about pro-life is ridiculous.
I don't know if you know what my politics are. I am not, by U.S. standards, an economic conservative; but by international standards among the democratic countries, I am conservative to moderate even in economics. Americans have misinformed views about social policies that help prevent poverty, especially regarding healthcare. What thirty-two out of thirty-three demcratic nations have been doing successfully for about seventy years is wrongly considered "radical" or "Leftwing" by many poorly educated and seriously indoctrinated Americans. But in the United States my Social Conservatism, that is the areas where morality and politics overlap, for example my very strong Pro-life apologetics and frontlines activisim, my written criticisms of same-sex "marriage" and the insanity (literally) "Transgender" ideology, make me very much a Conservative where it matters. I have real credentials, unlike a mere media pretender such as Calvin Robinson.
