You know what the first reference referred to.
As for serving mammon, well, he did say this:
“I don’t feel good about turning down money, because my whole life I’ve been greedy, greedy, greedy. I grabbed all the money I could get, I’m so greedy. But now I wanna be greedy for the United States and grab all that money, I’m gonna be greedy for the United States.”

The only greed I’ve ever heard him imply was a bad thing was greed that kept one from making money in the long run–that is, greed that costs you money. If you can show me any indication that he ever told people to put serving God before making money, well, you’ve heard him say something I haven’t been able to turn up.

In other words, it was a vulgar way to put it, but making the point that Donald Trump has publicly advocated for both lust and greed is actually legitimate. You can’t read a man’s heart, but you can take note of what the President has said when he was trying to impress people. It is not pretty.

I’m not pnewton, but, you people who are Trump apologists are denying so many bad things about Trump just so that you can feel good about getting a conservative Supreme.

Voting is not binary, number one. You didn’t have to vote for Hillary or Trump in the general election. One was qualified but morally compromised, and other was a total narcissistic demagogue. If you voted for the narcissistic demagogue to keep the morally compromised person out of office, you still voted for a narcissistic demagogue. That is never good.

If you voted for Trump in the Republican primary, you are responsible for this mess. There were many candidates who did not admit to assaulting women, many who were not guilty of fraud, many who did not have a long history of saying terrible things about women. And, yet, you voted for Trump. No excuse.

The “love” you’re promoting would be more accurately described as uncritical, butt-kissing submission. I’ll pass.

I ain’t anyone’s brother, and it’s not evil to criticize a bad leader. I’m disturbed that this fact keeps escaping you.
 
I do not think this has been linked here, though I have quoted it.

http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/faithful-citizenship/

While this is not the sum total of Catholic moral theology, it is uncharitable to try and hold people we consider brothers and sisters to some standard that comes from our own sola opinion at the expense of what the Church actually teaches is good citizenship. Of course Catholics can support President Trump. Of course Catholics are not under any obligation to support his political actions, or his re-election.
 
Listen to Catholic Radio. If you live in Los Angeles that station is 930AM radio

No, and I really hope he has stopped having romantic relationships with under-aged girls.

When did you stop beating your wife?

And that when over your head, though that is my fault for quoting you. It was just an add on to another conversation. I apologize for the confusion. The the point is that prefacing a statement by “I really hope” does little to dilute some statement that is illogical.

Although there is one big difference here. You will not find me anywhere writing and signing my name that I have beaten my wife. That is on reason I crouched the language carefully, as in “romantic”, not sexual, which would be beyond what evidence outside of testimony has been presented.

Yes, that is what the Democrats are saying. It’s not exactly music to voters’ ears. Brace for impact in 2018 🙂
 
Yep, not only “which wife”, but as Trump married a non-practicing Catholic outside of the Church, he is in an objectively invalid union.
