Melania says she'll pray every day for hospitalized children following Papal meeting [tr]

As long as Melania herself has not been divorced and remarried she is more than welcome to receive ALL sacraments of the church!!! SHE can be a practicing Catholic if she chose to be!!!

[jjotto]

Her father was a Communist Party member. If Melania had a Catholic upbringing or education, it was kept secret. The Euro press has probably covered her more than the US press:

Yeah..but we are talking Pope Che..so really..traditional Catholics are going by the wayside.

I think Grania was guessing something conservative today from putting pieces together..orthodox something

[taildragger]

"She's more of a Catholic than this fraud of a Pope."

Ouch, that will leave a mark. I must admit the photos of Ivanka and Melania looking at the Pontiff on the UK website are interesting, I wonder if they are analyzing him, it is a look of not love but perhaps being perplexing or trying to understand him. In many of the photos the Pontiff does not look happy. I find those telling....

[RummyChick]

Ha!!!! Too funny..and spot on!

[RoosterRedux]

I've been married twice...well sort of.

My first was to a wannabee nun. she should have gone to convent because she was worthless as a wife. Not holy or fun...but clearly a novice.

Couldn't leave her mother.

My second wife was a sophisticated lesbian who sought me as a vehicle to the easy suburban NYC life.

I would travel and make lots of money...and she would do whatever lying lesbians who seek the easy convention life do.

I thought my second wife was my best friend for many years during and after our marriage.

But then I learned she was a lesbian who had entered into the marital contract dishonestly.

She lied to me about everything.

Fine family...lying daughter.

At long last, I am free of that beatch.

Amazing how the truth does set you free.

[ifinnegan]

Interesting.

I looked it up and before the communists took over, Slovenia was heavily Catholic.

I’m sure the symbolism resonates with her and she probably gad mother or grandparents who had been Catholic.

The communists of course literally tried to stomp it all out.

[Jane Long]

LOLOL!!

[jjotto]

Oh, yeah. No doubt she is culturally Christian. Slovenes, etc, probably took that commie stuff the least serious of all the Euros. But the claims that she’s some kind of pious Catholic seem absurd and completely devoid of evidence.

[TheNext]

No thoughts and prayers.

Instead DEPORT MUSLIMS.

[DoughtyOne]

I am very sorry to hear that.

So many folks think it’s always the man. I think there are good men out there, and I think they want to do right by women, particularly their woman.

There’s a satisfaction knowing you’re pleasing the person you care about. It’s so hard for a man to see it when the woman doesn’t reciprocate. You want to think the best, so you start overlooking things. By the end, you’ve sold your soul down the river and you have a lot of ground to make up afterwards.

I’m far from perfect. I try to be a good guy. I do see my flaws. Those flaws were me going in and I never hid them. I’m very frank about my positives and negatives. I find no benefit of lying to people. Tell it like it is, and if they stick around fine. You should have a good basis for a relationship.

Well, after an 18 year relationship and a 23 year relationship, perhaps that’s not the right way to go about things. LOL

All the best to you. I hope things are good for you now.

[Bigg Red]

If Trump’s prior marriages were religious ceremonies, there would need to be annulments of those unions first.

[Bigg Red]

She’s a practicing Roman Catholic.

***
I don’t care what religion she is, but I suspect that that statement is not true, as I am pretty sure that she and the president attend an Episcopal church.

[Don Corleone]

More to love about Melania!

[RoosterRedux]

Thx for your question, DO. You are a good friend.

That said, "all things work for good in the life of the believer."

You and I are believers.

My life has been really difficult, but it is easier now...heading into the last roundup (I think;-).

I am most certainly a difficult marital partner, though I did try to do my best.

Like you, I did try to do the honorable thing always.

Life is like Navy SEAL selection, except there is no bell for quitting for the good guys.

And they don't tell you about the fricking sharks. Yes, there are sharks.

And sometimes you marry the mofo's.;-)

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for your nice response.

I’m going to have to start getting more exercise.

My mind is okay, although some folks here are suspicious. Particularly the ones who disagree with me.

I’m a firm believer that you can extend your life and enjoyable years considerably, by increasing your exercise.

We need to do enough to have to take deep breaths for a half hour or so daily.

This keeps the body in shape, and the increased blood flow is said to keep the mind in shape also.

Don’t let them take you out not kicking!

“:^)

[RoosterRedux]

Hang tough, old friend.

I will do my best to do the same.;-)

[DoughtyOne]

I’m hanging in there. No need to fret. You do the same!!!!

I’ll be checking later!

[miss marmelstein]

We’ll see.

I finally got to see the footage of Melania with the Pope. That woman is as beautiful as Sophia Loren - one of my idols. Dressed in Italian black, she looked straight out of Sophia’s great Italian movies of the 60s. She also has a little bit of Claudia Cardinale as well.
