Melania Reveals She Is Catholic: The First Lady Shares Her Faith With The World
dailymail.co.uk ^ | 24 May 2017

Posted on 05/25/2017 1:41:53 AM PDT by Helicondelta

When Melania Trump recited The Lord's Prayer before a Melbourne, Florida presidential rally in February, the Internet went hog wild.

Now we know one reason why the first lady began with 'Let us pray' and 'Our Father who art in heaven' when she introduced the president that evening: She's a practicing Roman Catholic.

Her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham confirmed that to DailyMail.com on Wednesday, hours after Pope Francis blessed a rosary for her at the Vatican.

The last Catholics to live in the White House were John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie. Melania and her son Barron will move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue over the summer.

Mrs. Trump did more than just show up for a Papal audience.

She spent time in prayer at the Vatican-affiliated Bambino Gesù (Baby Jesus) Hospital, and laid flowers at the feet of a statue of the Madonna.

May PRESIDENT & MELANIA grow in the LORD.

Excerpt:

Trump issued a proclamation on Wednesday calling for a national ‘day of prayer for permanent peace’ on May 29, the upcoming Memorial Day holiday.

‘On this ceremonious day, we remember the fallen, we pray for a lasting peace among nations, and we honor these guardians of our inalienable rights,’ he said.

‘I designate the hour beginning in each locality at 11:00 a.m. of that day as a time when people might unite in prayer. I urge the press, radio, television, and all other information media to cooperate in this observance,’ Trump added.

Remember when: People and the press, *firmly believed that no Catholic should be President because they “owed allegiance to a foreign power” - the Pope - and therefore weren’t “true” Americans. They also believed that Kennedy, by Presidential Proclamation, would invalidate all marriages not performed by a Catholic priest and that, under Kennedy, all the public schools would be shut down and all American children would be required by law to attend Catholic schools.*

I thought we would have *grown up* by now.

Best wishes to Mrs. Trump. May she be given all the grace she needs to serve God in the environment where she has been placed.

It’s obvious she is at least a “cultural” Catholic, Slovenia is a Catholic country.

I was told once at. A Methodist college I briefly attended that if one has roots from an European heritage, there’s some Catholic in there somewhere. I was shocked I to tell you. Shocked! not...

“And this matters why?”

Because true traditional (pre-Vatican II) Catholicism is the only true faith.

And this matters why?

One reason we lose so many potentially good men to fight the epic battle against evil is their wives. A man who goes home to a woman not grounded in our values loses the fight for what he once held dear.

We can have more confidence that President Trump is committed to this unbelievable assault against everything he's earned and held dear his whole life. He worships a woman who practices strong, traditional Catholic values.

You'd rather daughter dearest Ivanka be the voice that encourages him?

Maybe it's things like this in Roman Catholicism that cause people to think as such:

Unam sanctam

The Bull also states, "We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal."[12] The swords being referred to are a customary reference to the swords yielded by the Apostles upon Christ's arrest (Luke 22:38; Matthew 26:52).[2] Early theologians believed that if there are two swords, one must be subordinate to the other. This then became a spiritual hierarchal ladder, the spiritual judges the secular "on account of its greatness and sublimity,[2] while the lower spiritual power is judged by the higher spiritual power, etc.[11] Thus, it was concluded, the temporal authorities must submit to the spiritual authorities, not merely on matters concerning doctrine and morality: "For with truth as our witness, it belongs to spiritual power to establish the terrestrial power and to pass judgment if it has not been good." The bull ends, "Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff."[12]

"One boy she met, who needed a donor heart, will get his organ transplant, the hospital learned just hours after Melania's visit"

Yup, miracles begin to get attributed to Melania, Pope begins the process of beatification in preparation for sainthood...liberal heads explode.

DJT says, "She'll be a great saint...fantastic saint."

An old Emo Philips story comes to mind...

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

I’m not talking about Ivanka’s Judaism. I’m referring to her being surrounded by liberal global elitists whose intent is to destroy the Trump Agenda.
