Do Catholics still support Trump

We don’t need to like what our president does, but we are supposed to respect the president. Because we all have a sin nature, it can be very tricky to give someone the benefit of the doubt. The sin nature also means that the president is not going to be perfect regardless of how much we support or oppose the candidate in office.

It was really hard to respect Obama. It’s very hard for some liberals to respect Trump, but we all must try. It was hard because it is my personal belief that the Democrats put pagan secularism over a belief in Jesus Christ nor respect those who do. It also made me feel that they passed laws and than rubbed our noses in it (in their excessive regulation) knowing full well that we were opposed to it. They may be Catholic or Protestant or Evangelical, but it’s hard to see someone that actually practices their faith not only in attending Sunday mass or service but also in the living of their everyday life. When someone says that there’s a special place in Hell for women who don’t help each other, it’s really hard to see that person as a Christian.

The tax plan effectively repeals the Obamacare Individual Mandate, so that in itself is great. But Rush went over a lot of Trump’s accomplishments so far yesterday in a terrific 10-minute segment of his show:
 
When I opened this topic i knew it would be a strong debate.
But how do we come together and say " lets do our best to pray for Trump as Righteous church going Catholics?"
 
No, it has to be ALL paid for. “Some” is not sufficient; interest spending will still increase.

I can’t convince anyone to like him.
We have to live with what we got and make the best of it.
Didn’t we all pray to get rid of Hillary knowing we would be left with Trump?
Even if pell grants fail, tax fail, foul mouth, bad comments or whatever it may be, wasn’t it worth it to save a baby?
 
I’d like to see that too, MamasBoy33 but the sad truth is that many Catholics supported Obama and we apparently are far behind the evangelicals in terms of our level of support for good government. Trump is the best thing to happen to us in a long time. There are a lot of blind people both conservative and liberal who just can’t see it. The only thing we can do is support a good president as best we can. If others join up so much the better but there will always be naysayers - we just have to “overcome evil with good” as it says in Romans.

Oki you are awesome. You nailed rab dab smack in the middle, may the Lord have favor with you.
This is the best text ive seen on this topic yet.
Awesome job
 
There sure are places to cut. Like interest payments, but first you must cut the debt or default.

And good luck with that.
 
Actually $5 trillion of that debt is thanks to Bernanke’s QE purchases. The Fed was working to wipe that debt until the certainty of further deficits by the Republicans kicked in.
 
Yes, of course it is better to have a President who doesn’t fail on the non-negotiables right out of the gate.

Does this mean he gets carte blanche on whatever else he says or does, as long as that doesn’t change? Well, I would hope not.

Does he lose support for doing worthwhile things because his vulgar and rash statements are such an embarrassment, even to the point of being a scandal for someone who professes to be Christian? Well, I would hope not.

He does not get a pass on the unacceptable things he says and does. When it is unacceptable to say or do something, it is unacceptable. You don’t get a pass because you’re just too important to be shown any opposition.

Our Lord could say to Peter both “blessed are you, Simon” and “get thee behind me, Satan” without being inconsistent. It was the behavior and the attitude he spoke to. There wasn’t anyone whose reasons and objectives he couldn’t question. He could agree with paying taxes to Caesar and could correct someone praising his mother for being his mom rather than for being a model for all Christians.

The multiple stimulus packages by O had nothing to do with the debt?

Take a look at the spending…always the spending.
 
Thank Mitch McConnell for refusing to put Garland’s nomination up for a vote.
 
True, but the $800 billion was intended to be a stimulus to help the recession and was voted on by 60 Senators not 50.
 
Thanks 🙂 and thanks for starting this good thread I think it’s an important topic for everybody to hash out.
 
I voted for Rubio but thought that Cruz gave the best speech at the convention.

I wish he wouldn’t have caved in though.
 
Don’t worry. There is zero chance Trump will get a pass on anything unacceptable that he does. This is utterly obvious to anybody who is aware of what is going on in the press rooms, on TV, or even at almost any social gathering anymore.

Usually I’d say that’s as it should be. Authority being held accountable. But this Trump Derangement Syndrome in so many people is truly borderline psychotic. I meet people every week or two who know very little in the way of actual facts but still think it’s a great way to break the ice by carping about how horrible President Trump is. And I live in Oklahoma!

I usually don’t bother engaging such people. I just answer ambiguously and try to change the subject. Whoever defends Trump is always accused of excusing any and everything. We Trump supporters just can’t win! (except when we sneak into the booth and V O T E ).
 
Yes, but Trump used to oldest trick in the book to win the nomination. When faced with multiple opponents make them all look the same and find a way to make yourself controversial. And he had a lot of history to do just that.

My opinion only
