Summary
Donald Trump angered Christian MAGA supporters by appointing televangelist Paula White-Cain to lead his newly established White House Faith Office.
White-Cain, a proponent of prosperity theology, is viewed by many evangelicals as a “heretic” who exploits faith for profit. Prosperity theology believes that God rewards the truly faithful with material wealth and personal success.
Conservative Christians condemned the move, calling it Trump’s “worst decision,” citing her controversial teachings and personal scandals.
White-Cain, a longtime Trump ally, previously advised his administration and led prayers contesting the 2020 election results.
According to the Christian faith, women cannot serve as preachers, pastors, priests, etc. That, alone, demonstrates a terrible misunderstanding (or blatant disregard!) of a painfully basic teaching of the Christian faith.
To then promote a woman to be the head of this faith whatever, that’s tonedeaf AF. Of course they’re angry.
