Reply To: A Chief Rabbi Attends the Coronation in a Church?

Bs”d
To reply to Mench 1:
There is a very big difference between shaking hands with politicians, and being very publicly happy because you were invited to the coronation of a self-admitted adulterer, who’s actions have became public knowledge all over the world.
Another example of this would be to happily show respect to an lgbtq person who wants recognition of his marriage, such as Pete Buttigieg.
I would say that a frum person, especially a Rabbi, cannot act this way, as it gives the person legitimacy. That’s the way Yiddishkeit can get diluted, as it did in the past.
