There is a right and a wrong. Moral conduct is determined by God s law, not public opinion polls. All are called to live a moral life, even powerful and popular persons. There are consequences to our actions and we have to be courageous enough to admit our sins and accept correction. Lying to cover up our wrong actions only adds to the wrong.
Moral failure calls for repentance.
God s mercy prompts us to be merciful. We are called to forgiveness as we wish to be forgiven. At issue in the conduct of the President is not what types of activity are seen as politically correct, or socially acceptable to a large number of people in popular approval polls but basic morality. What the President did was wrong. Even he admits that.
