Alabama Christians alert! Sin is anti-Christian

James J. Martin SJ, also known as Jim Martin, is an American Jesuit priest, a writer, and editor-at-large of the Jesuit magazine America.

"In case anyone has forgotten:"

Child abuse is a sin.
Sexual abuse is a sin.
Sexual harassment is a sin.
Racism, and white supremacy, is a sin.
Jesus asks us to welcome the stranger.
Jesus asks us to love the poor.

There are indeed two sides to these issues:

Good and evil.

The above message was posted on Twitter by Father Jim Martin.

MaineWriter- In my opinion, Alabama voters must not be ambiguous about the integrity of the women accusers of Senate Candidate Roy Moore, who was publicly identified as a serial sexual predator of girls. Sexual obsessions about children and acting on those evil instincts, by engaging in illegal conduct with girls, is a sin.

In past blogs and in my Twitter accounts, I have criticized the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for their reticence about issues like Trump's stupid anti-Muslim travel ban and the past sexual predatory behavior he admitted to on Access Hollywood tapes. 

Thankfully, Father Martin's clear statement about sin has provided leadership to the American Bishops, who should follow up by making their public commentary, critical of Donald Trump's dangerous leadership behaviors.

There are two sides to the Roy Moore accusations by multiple women:  Good and Evil.
