Trump declares his faith

At a rally in Las Vegas last week, the Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump declared that he is “a Protestant, a Presbyterian”, writes James Roberts. According to Spero News, he was responding to remarks by his Seventh-day Adventist rival Ben Carson, about Trump’s faith. Carson had said he didn’t get the impression that humility and “fear of the Lord” were important to Trump but later withdrew the remarks. Trump said: “Ben, I like. But Ben said something very nasty to me, about my faith. I’m a religious person. I’m Protestant. I’m Presbyterian.” Six of the leading Republican candidates (Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, George Pataki, Marco Rubio and Rick Santorum) are Catholic.
