"Catholic Priest Apologized to Trump for Catholic Bishops

The Reverend I.M.A. Patriot
Saint Athanasius Church
The United States of America

The Honorable Donald J. Trump
President of the United States

July 4, 2018

Dear Mr. President:

I am writing you as a patriotic American, a military Veteran and a Roman Catholic Priest to thank you for the things you have done to Make America Right Again and to apologize on behalf of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Bishop of Rome, aka Pope Francis. The failure of these bishops to acknowledge the good that you have done as well as their unjust criticism of you is an embarrassment to many Catholics, who do not share or respect their views.

The sad reality is that just as there are subversive and corrupt elements in our Nation that seek to undermine and overturn constitutional America, so too there are parallel subversive and corrupt elements in the Catholic Church that seek to undermine and overturn traditional Catholicism. The mainstream media of both Church and State are agenda driven and purveyors of fake news; America has its deep state of malcontents and Catholicism has its deep church of Modernists.

Please accept my apologies on behalf of the USCCB and the Bishop of Rome for the following:

Their failure to teach faithfully on essential religious and moral principles prior to the election of 2016 that would have made you a much more viable choice for Catholics; quite the opposite, the Bishop of Rome himself questioned your own faith when he commented, “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they [sic] may be, and not building brides, is not Christian.”

Their continued misrepresentation of Catholic teaching regarding the God-given rights of nations and peoples to protect themselves with borders and exercise controls and limits on immigration; far from just and true, their statements and antics are an embarrassment, to include threats of “canonical penalties” against Catholics involved in implementing your policies on immigration.

Their failure to publicly acknowledge the efforts and successes of your Administration in the areas of the pro-life protection of unborn children and the protection of religious rights and Christian conscience; the most recent successes and advances in favor of life and liberty would not have been possible without your personal advocacy and appointment of a SCOTUS justice.

Their militant posture against the use of military force and Second Amendment rights. Contrary to denunciations by the Bishop of Rome of the arms business as an “industry of death” and his tweet, “Let’s ban all weapons so we don’t have to live in fear of war,” as early as Saint Augustine, Catholic teaching has explicitly supported just war principles.

On this Independence Day, President Trump, be assured of my gratitude and promise of prayers!

Most respectfully,

Rev. I.M.A. Patriot

I was listening to it Larry elder the other day and he made some great points regarding the assistance that Hillary got from universities, the media, Hollywood et al and that if anyone looked at the 2016 election objectively, it would be clear that there was a strong bias against President Trump. The one point that I thought was glaringly absent was the Catholic Church, and how she had failed to support Trump. I am a Catholic until death, but sickly ashamed of the numerous wolves in sheep‘s Clothing. Too few priests have the cajones that this priest demonstrates in his letter. I remember when Trump laid down the law regarding dreamers and the coward archBishop of San Antonio was marching in the streets protesting this policy. But nary a word from him regarding sodomy, abortion, et al. “The road to hell is paved with the skulls of bishops.”
