When did the abbot endorse a political candidate? I’ve not heard him or read him doing that from the you tube videos and FB posts I’ve read over the last few years. Did I miss one where he actually encouraged people to vote for a particular person?
really, the abbot has been quite balanced. If we are to have concerns over our clergy being too political or getting into the thick of political issues with politicians and such, I’ve found Fr. Josiah Trenham to be a bit over the top and leaning too far one direction on the political scale and at times speaking too much with regards to our founding fathers in the US and the like, in a rather political manner. And his speaking at events with Protestants and other Christian groups at times have come across as too much. But it’s probably just me.
I have hitherto been quite impressed with Fr Josiah, and have not seen a single instance where he departs from patriotic thought. From what I have seen (granting there might be what I haven’t seen) all attacks on him have come from people who push modernity and oppose tradition in general, people who don’t believe in the consensus of the fathers to correct them.
