On Sunday, when he delivered a homily in Spanish after Trump’s reported comments about immigrants from “shithole” countries, Pineda talked to the Latin American churchgoers about God’s call to forgive. The offender might be our family or friends, he said. Or it might be “politicians who are vilifying us, making us look like the enemy of the people. Even he has to be loved. That is what the Lord asks us do to.”

-Rev. Rey Pineda
