When the story first came out that she wasn’t moving into the White House with President Trump, I thought that was odd. I couldn’t think of a good reason for her not to do so…other than she was still ticked off at him for the whole Billy Bush audio. Maybe the real reason is her son’s education. Maybe it’s nothing more than that. All I know for sure is that at present, Mr. and Mrs. Trump are not living in the same house.
You keep bringing up the point that their son is attending an Episcopal school. That’s a fair thing to bring up.

Oh, but there are facts – “alternative facts” – namely, that she was baptized in secret, that she goes to church in secret and receives all her sacraments in secret and with the benefit of dispensation, and despite being a major celebrity, has never been photographed inside a Catholic church prior to meeting the pope OR after – and, if that effort weren’t impressive enough, she goes to extra mile to raise her child in a non-Catholic environment because the “liberal media” makes it extra difficult for her. (Is this summation correct?) To say this ‘story’ requires “suspension of disbelief” is an understatement: I’m more inclined to believe that Captain Jack Sparrow is a real person and that “Pirates of the Caribbean” is a documentary. Evidence? Facts? Pfft–! Who needs 'em?
How many “if’s” are we reasonably expected to concede? We don’t know - period. No amount of conjecture and pretzellian logic will help us to know.
You may be right. I have no idea how that process works. I keep hearing about it being scandalous for unmarried persons living in the same house and that could be grounds not to marry a couple in the Catholic Church. I could be wrong about that though. I don’t have any real world examples to go by so I may be way off base.
All I know is that it has been reported that the First Lady is Catholic. I am happy to hear this news.
Yep. It’s my tongue in cheek counter to “But she carried a rosary when she got married!”
Let’s have her go to Catholic Mass every Sunday first. That would be a good sign.
And that narrative is being inexplicably pushed despite all indication to the contrary. Are reason and critical thinking skills entirely foreign to the “First Lady is a Catholic Convert” narrative? It’s none of anyone’s business what faith she professes - when Catholics are played for suckers (again), that should be everyone’s concern.
That would be awesome!
It’s more about being apoplectic about the double standard. “Melania is Catholic because she carries a rosary! But this person is not a good Catholic because she holds hands during the Our Father!”
How did we get to the point in society that when it is reported that someone has discovered the beauty of Catholicism that the first reaction is doubt rather than joy?
I have no clue if she’s Catholic or not, baptized or trying to regularize a marriage situation.
Why does this make you happy?
Interesting, given this post:
Has Melania Trump been receiving communion in a Catholic Church? I thought the Mass attendance takers on this thread have noted she has not been seen in a Catholic Church excluding any such Vatican visit.
I would not be disappointed at all.
She attended Easter services at the Episcopal church on Palm Beach. But I don’t know if she took communion there on Easter nor if she also attended a Catholic Mass.
I think you actually have to attend Mass in order for it to be possible to receive communion…
