Proclamation on 850th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of Saint Thomas Becket
The White House ^ | Dec 28, 2020 | President Donald J. Trump

Posted on 12/29/2020 10:43:09 AM PST by grey_whiskers

Just an excerpt:

“A society without religion cannot prosper. A nation without faith cannot endure — because justice, goodness, and peace cannot prevail without the grace of God.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim December 29, 2020, as the 850th anniversary of the martyrdom of Saint Thomas Becket. I invite the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches and customary places of meeting with appropriate ceremonies in commemoration of the life and legacy of Thomas Becket.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.

DONALD J. TRUMP”

So much for crossing Henry II (or the Hillabeast, for that matter).

WOW.

Is PDJT a crypto-Catholic? He sure seems to act like one.

Melania was raised Catholic, so maybe she is influencing him.

Awesome proclamation from our awesome President!

Loved the Richard Burton/Richard Harris Beckett movie - one of my favorites.

“A society without religion cannot prosper. A nation without faith cannot endure — because justice, goodness, and peace cannot prevail without the grace of God.”

Makes me even more deeply thankful that President Trump decided to sacrifice so much to become president.

A while ago - some months - Trump was asked about his religion and he said he was a non-sectarian Christian.

This is a shot across Joe Biden’s bow, in case anyone doesn’t get the significance. Biteme is looking to drastically infringe on religious freedom with his “Equality Act” and other evils.

Got a problem with that?

I think God has extended His Grace upon President Trump to proclaim His Truth.

There were no Protestants 850 years ago.

Umm in case I wasn’t clear I myself am a trad-cat (thought the tagline would be a giveaway) and I’m delighted by this proclamation.
