Frida Ghitis : The U.S. Agency for International Development is going into the “wood chipper’s chipper.

She says it's destroying humanitarian work with the tacit (if not explicit) support of too many people who cite the Gospels as their guide.

Ghitis wonders whether some Christians have made a single issue or two the sole determinant of their political views.

Pope Francis and Gabriel Salguero , president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition , have raised their voices in protest.

It is time for many of the rest of us to join them.
