And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Genesis 6:6
So basically, to be in his political sphere, Castro has to betray his God on abortion, the LGBT agenda as well as attach himself to the gospel of the so-called "social justice" movement and sell out his country's sovereignty on border security to Pope Francis...
"Julian Castro went into detail about his Catholic background in an interview he gave to Religion News Service. RNS reporter Jack Jenkins asked Castro about why the former mayor of San Antonio and U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development chose to announce his candidacy in San Antonio’s Plaza Guadalupe, across from Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church.
Castro on January 12 became one of nine Democrats who have joined the 2020 presidential race so far.
“I had my announcement at the heart of the west side of San Antonio, where I grew up,” Castro, 44, said. “The Our Lady of Guadalupe Church was really where my story started on the west side of the city, because I was baptized there, I grew up not far from there and went to school close to there."
“What has always attracted me to the Catholic faith is the social justice aspect of it, and the vision that I articulated for the country (in my announcement speech) very much is in keeping with the social justice component of the Catholic faith.” Castro said.
Challenged as to how he can reconcile his support for legal abortion and same-sex marriage, Castro told the interviewer: “I separate any one faith or belief system from the responsibility that one has in public service—to represent everyone. I recognize that I do have those disagreements (with the pope), but I also recognize that if I’m president of the United States I need to serve everybody in the country.
And I also have just a personal belief in support of members of the LGBTQ community — I believe in their equality — and also support a woman’s right to choose. I believe that those things are sound public policy,” he opined.
Asked about the immigration policies of President Donald J. Trump, Castro said he has been “pleased to hear Pope Francis speak out against those kinds of policies. His is an important voice.”
