When Trump had his first prayer meeting with Washington's Catholic bishop, the bishop called out Trump from the pulpit, saying that he had to show empathy to, not just his supporters, but all Americans.
That bishop was then called out by some right wing preacher dude, saying that empathy is a sin.
I wound up falling down the rabbit hole. Apparently this is a common belief now with many American megachurches. Being flashy and wealthy is a sign that God has blessed you. Being poor and destitute is a sign that God is punishing you. And wanting to help the poor and destitute is a temptation by Satan. Or some bullshit like that.
