Dear Editor: The letter “Messianic Complex” (Jan. 28) by Rose Emma, pinpoints exactly what’s ailing the U.S. Catholic Church. Many of our church leaders are quick to jump on the band wagon and wipe the slate for the new president, regardless of the fact that he has made a mockery of basic principles of our Church all because of campaign promises that supposedly will be to its benefit.

Never mind that same person has flip-flopped on those same issues. One should remember however that a leopard can never change its spots.

To quote my now deceased beloved and wise mother: “The gap between making compromises and being compromised is a very narrow one.”
