As Christians throughout this great Country celebrate All Souls Day, let’s remember those who went before us and built this great nation. May their legacy inspire us as we keep our nation what it has always been: blessed and great!

1. In Catholic school, we had the day off.

[marybourg]

6. Even in Catholic graduate school, we had the day off.

[ARPad95]

2. Catholic day of observance.

[Nevilledog]

3. He doesn't say Catholic. He says Christian.

Raised a Methodist and that was not observed.

[Retrograde]

17. That's Nov. 1, All Saints Day

Which is a Holy Day of Obligation for the Catholic Church in the US. All Souls Day, Nov. 2, is observed but is a lesser holiday, although some Catholic cultures, namely Mexican and Louisiana Creole/Cajun, make a big deal of it. Despite its claims to be catholic and universal, the Catholic Church is not always rigid: some regions and cultures have their own popular saints who get more attention there than in other places.

4. When and where is the parade this year?

[MyOwnPeace]

13. Tanks, uniforms, rockets, bands........

to him it would seem SO right!

5. Well, SOMEONE at the WH knows the liturgical calendar...

...but there’s no way that came from Twitler himself.

7. Kind of a blanket statement that smacks of us/them. Catholics are Christians and 11/2

is All Souls Day, an important day but not a 'day of obligation.' All Saints Day, 11/1, is. And I don't think non-Catholic Christians give All Souls much attention.

16. Lutherans and Episcopalians celebrate it. I expect a bunch of other main stream protestants do too.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. It is celebrated in the Catholic and Episcopal churches.

But the evangelical denominations don't celebrate it, so he kind of stepped on it wrt his base.

[FBaggins]

9. And some Lutheran and Orthodox nt

[RockRaven]

10. Not ONLY Catholics celebrate it. Some other Christian denominations do.

So while it's a satisfyingly snarky quip, it is incorrect and it excluded Catholics from "we Christians." Thumbs down from me.

11. I agree that he is not a Christian,

but other Christians do "celebrate", or rather observe the day. Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and Eastern Orthodox sects.

It really bothers me how Evangelicals think that they are the only ones who are real "Christians", even though most of them are the furthest thing from the true definition of a Christian.

[MyOwnPeace]

15. Don't you (I don't mean just "you" Smirky!) see what he's doing.........

BunkerBoy couldn't even BEGIN to give you an explanation as to what ANY of these days of observance mean, unless it was another day for more people to show up and beg for an early "Tee-time" at one of his golf clubs!

HE'S a fraud, and grabbing at ANYTHING to get one more person to vote for him.

I wonder if he'll ask for a bible when he's in his cell - all alone??????

12. 'let's remember those who went before us and built this great nation.'

OVER 200,000 on your watch!

14. Fucking LIAR Orange head.

18. Suzanne McCain is a typical Xian - she knows nothing about Christianity.
