The Corduroy Gospel: A Letter ‍My nuns Would Have Writen to the President

Pittsburg, CA – The scent of ‌incense and floor wax still clings to ⁣my memories of St. Peter Martyr School. Back then, in the San Francisco Bay Area, my uniform was a somber affair: Ash Wednesday corduroys, a ​starched white shirt, and a maroon V-neck sweater that⁣ always ⁣seemed a size too big.Every morning, I’d trek from our apartment on 10th Street, a left on ⁢Montezuma, and fifteen minutes later, I was in the hallowed halls, ‌ready for Sister roberta, Sister Eileen, and Sister Estelle.

Those nuns, those Dominican priests – they instilled in us a sense of faith, humility, and,⁣ above ⁤all, grace. I’m no saint, and the Church, as we all no, is far‍ from perfect. But lately, I’ve been pondering what my old ⁤teachers would make of the current state of political discourse, especially the ⁢pronouncements of certain world leaders⁤ who seem to wear their piety on their sleeves, yet their​ actions often tell a different story.

I ⁤have a sneaking suspicion that if those nuns were still teaching today,they’d have⁢ us all pulling out our pencils⁤ and notebooks to write a letter. So, in their spirit, ⁢here goes:

Dear President Trump,

Do you know St. Peter Martyr School? probably not. But it was named after St. Peter of Verona, a man who took on heresy and paid the ultimate price – an axe to the skull, ‍courtesy ‌of the Cathars. Some things ‌never change,‍ do they?

I must say, I saw your presentation at the National Bible Museum, launching the “America⁤ Prays” ‍initiative. Good for ​you. ​And congratulations on the “God Bless the USA Bible.” $1.3 million, huh? Not bad ‍for missionary work.

I was particularly struck by‌ your statement: “To have a grate nation, you have to have religion.⁤ Ther has to be something after we go through all of this – and that something is God.”

Well said, Mr. President. And not surprising, given that you once called the Bible your favorite book. But even I, a humble alum‌ of St. Peter Martyr, need⁢ to occasionally revisit those pages⁢ to keep myself grounded.

So, here’s an idea. I’m going to share a Bible verse,​ followed by a recent quote from you. Not to judge, mind you.But perhaps we can all benefit from a little soul-searching, asking ourselves if our actions truly ⁣align with the values we profess.

ready?
