Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) just insulted Saint Damien of Molokai, whose statue is in the U.S. Capitol Building representing the state of Hawaii.
She said that honoring this saint is “what patriarchy and white supremacist culture looks like.”
How dare she insult Saint Damien as part of a white supremacist culture! Saint Damien devoted his life to the spiritual and physical needs of the poor members of a leper colony on the Hawaiian island of Molokai. He contracted leprosy in the process of serving the poor lepers and improved their life. In fact, he gave his life for them.
I don’t know about you but I cannot remain silent when AOC attacks and insults this heroic saint! He is a shining example of what we need today.
