Trump’s new Catholic liaison called him ‘manifestly unfit’ for office
Click here for reuse options!Donald Trump is manifestly unfit to be president of the United States. His campaign has already driven our politics down to new levels of vulgarity. His appeals to racial and ethnic fears and prejudice are offensive to any genuinely Catholic sensibility. He promised to order U.S. military personnel to torture terrorist suspects and to kill terrorists’ families — actions condemned by the Church and policies that would bring shame upon our country. And there is nothing in his campaign or his previous record that gives us grounds for confidence that he genuinely shares our commitments to the right to life, to religious freedom and the rights of conscience, to rebuilding the marriage culture, or to subsidiarity and the principle of limited constitutional government…
Mr. Trump’s record and his campaign show us no promise of greatness; they promise only the further degradation of our politics and our culture. We urge our fellow Catholics and all our fellow citizens to reject his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination by supporting a genuinely reformist candidate.

Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Mark 4:19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
Proverbs 23:4-5 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

From the Book of Steve 24:6-8..Fly like an eagle to the sea, let the future carry me…:)

Here’s one more from James,”Go to now ye rich men.Weep and howl for the misery that shall come upon you.For you have defrauded the poor.your gold and silver shall turn to decay.” that was with a little of my paraphrasing,and to lazy to look up the chapter.

Look it up? Isn’t that the reason for Google? lol.

How much easier it would have been 40 years ago when I studied the NT in depth.Had to everything the hard way back then.

Yeah but too much information isn’t always a good thing. I have read articles online for hours and came away with nothing to add to my paper for my research.

You seem to forget, Jebus didn’t mean THEM… he was talking about rich Jews, and they can’t get into Heaven! Why, Heaven has requirements almost tougher than Augusta National. If your family didn’t come over on the Mayflower, you ain’t getting into Heaven and you DAMN sure ain’t getting into Augusta National.

True dat, I have been going to purgatory since the day I was born, Heaven won’t be a place I get to see either. I think it will be more fun in purgatory or the warmer place anyway.
bpollen September 23rd, 2016 at 15:07
More fun company, at least!
Suzanne McFly September 23rd, 2016 at 16:47
Yup, and I will know a lot more people.
bpollen September 24th, 2016 at 01:53
And it would undoubtedly be much more fun than my High School Reunion. What the hell happened to those people?
Suzanne McFly September 24th, 2016 at 09:26
Never went to a high school reunion, if I wanted to be lied to a room full of adults, I can go to a lawyers office.

Unfortunately, Catholics don’t practice what they preach. I went into a baptism last week in a Catholic church. They had marble floors, Ivory statues and a gold box that holds the wafers. I would say the alter alone costs upwards of $100,000. Do you know how many poor people that money could feed?
Suzanne McFly September 23rd, 2016 at 16:47
I know, when I was a kid I used to help my mom clean the Church. It is a beautiful building inside and out, as an adult I quit going to the “church”, I can pray wherever I want for free.
StoneyCurtisll September 22nd, 2016 at 20:07
Some people will do anything for money…..
Joesph Cella is one of those people..
Heil Trump~!

This is right up there with the new trump campaign manager of Mahoning County Ohio who once called Trump Deplorable!!
(the old manager made an outrageously racist comment then promptly resigned)
It goes to show republicans will always put party ahead of country.

You’re Hired… ?!?
bpollen September 23rd, 2016 at 06:20
Sure, I called him unfit for office, but for a certain nominal fee, I am willing to leave my ethics at home.
Mike September 23rd, 2016 at 07:01
Amazing how a couple dollars can change someone’s outlook.
Hirightnow September 24th, 2016 at 17:47
Mine seemed to voluntarily lose that sheen of “perfection”, and now present themselves as just “folk”…weird.
bpollen September 24th, 2016 at 18:56
I graduated from a small town, and there was a lot of “big fish, small pond” permeating the clique who actually showed up. I had more friends at my wife’s reunion, and I didn’t even go to that school.
Hirightnow September 24th, 2016 at 20:38
Sounds like you married the right person…
bpollen September 24th, 2016 at 23:07
I freely admit that she’s my better half.
bpollen September 24th, 2016 at 23:20
I really think I woulda preferred your reunion… and I wouldn’t have known a single person there (well, you…)
Hirightnow September 24th, 2016 at 23:38
Humans grow up,bpollen
bpollen September 24th, 2016 at 23:39
Some do. Then there are Republicans.
Suzanne McFly September 24th, 2016 at 18:44
Exactly, it will be the jocks and cheerleaders making me sick all over again. I don’t give a flying eff about what is going on in their lives, the ones I cared about are still in my life and I know what is going on with them.

This is why I’m for a strict separation of church and state. I mean a super high wall.
And I say this as a person who loves the church.
Meddling in politics is bad for the church.
And this story is a prime example.
