“Trump shows everyone a photo from his Catholic Sacrament of Confirmation.”

So Trump is Catholic, or his German family was Catholic.

I believe Donald Trump has changed to become a Protestant Christian. Many Catholics have dropped out of the Catholic Church because of leaders like the present Pope, who like POTUS, is a socialist, communist. The difference between the Pope and Obama is, that Obama is a Black Racist, Radical, Muslim and the Pope is a full left-wing loon, cuddling up to the Castro brothers in Cuba!!! God & Jesus created man & woman to be individuals...not wards of the state!!!

I will remain a devout Roman Catholic forever....but I will not swear ally loyalty or allegience to any Pope that would destroy the world for all people, because of his support of totally failed dogmas for mankind!!! The “Church” should not revel him...it should remove him from authority!!!

Confirmation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Confirmation (disambiguation).
A bishop administering Confirmation. Rogier van der Weyden, The Seven Sacraments, 15th century.

Confirmation is a rite of initiation in several Christian denominations,[1] normally carried out through anointing, the laying on of hands, and prayer, for the purpose of bestowing the Gift of the Holy Spirit.

In Christianity, confirmation is seen as the sealing of the covenant created in Holy Baptism. In some denominations, confirmation also bestows full membership in a local congregation upon the recipient. In others, such as the Roman Catholic Church, confirmation “renders the bond with the Church more perfect”,[2] because, while a baptized person is already a member,[3] “reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace”.[4]

Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox Churches, and many Anglicans view Confirmation as a sacrament. In the East it is conferred immediately after baptism. In the West, this practice is followed when adults are baptized, but in the case of infants not in danger of death it is administered, ordinarily by a bishop, only when the child reaches the age of reason or early adolescence. Among those Catholics who practice teen-aged confirmation, the practice may be perceived, secondarily, as a “coming of age” rite.[5][6]

In Protestant churches, the rite tends to be seen rather as a mature statement of faith by an already baptised person. It is also required by most Protestant denominations for membership in the respective church, in particular for traditional Protestant churches. In traditional Protestant churches (Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran etc.) it is recognized by a coming of age ceremony

Put two stories together. Trumps German family was Catholic, and his grandfather running a brothel in Yukon during the gold rush in the 1890s. That priest hearing Grandpa Trump’s confessions up in Yukon... LOL does anyone one get where I am going?
