Christ the King (and Donald Trump)
THIS Sunday, when Catholics observe the Feast of Christ the King, which recognizes the sacred truth that Jesus Christ has royal prerogatives not just over the hearts of men, but over the social order too, is a fitting occasion to pray for the election of Donald Trump.
It may seem contradictory. Trump is not a saint. And it’s not as if he is going to install a Catholic government. He isn’t even Catholic. But he is something of a miracle. After the intense destruction of the Obama presidency, God sent us someone with the strength to battle the hydra of globalism and the fanatical intolerance of political correctness. I have gained much respect for Trump, despite all his weaknesses, and will vote for him without hesitation next week. He is still standing after being attacked relentlessly. His enemies are our enemies. (His enemies include, by the way, the most dangerous man on the planet — the false pontiff, “Pope” Francis. See details of his latest interview here. How can any Catholic who is not in a coma listen to Francis-talk and still mistake this man for one of the faithful, let alone a “Pope?”)
Trump stands between us and the despotism of an extremely evil woman who chillingly champions the killing of even late-term infants in the womb; wants the further erasure of American borders and sovereignty; is a proven crook; has every intention of creating her dream socialist utopia by force; speaks of launching military attacks in response to cyber attacks and is openly provoking the world’s second major nuclear power.
While he may not make America great, he could make it better and prevent it from becoming a living hell. Let’s pray that the immense popularity Donald Trump enjoys is honored at the polls one week from Tuesday, and he becomes our next president.
[Update: Another sermon by Father William Jenkins on the election can be found here. He discusses what he believes is the possibility of civil war and the subsequent establishment of martial law.”These are things that should make us pray. … We need to be very, very concerned about the point where the country stands now.” He also further discusses — and justifies — voting for “the lesser of two evils.” He suggests we have a moral obligation to vote for Trump.]
