Catholics Paying $1000 To Pray for Trump at Mar-a-Lago

[Submariner]

The nonprofit organization Catholics for Catholics is hosting an event called Catholic Prayer for Trump at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. The event will be held on Tuesday, March 19, which is known in the Catholic Church as St. Joseph’s Day or the Feast of St. Joseph. The holiday is often observed by attending mass.



The other six guest stars are: actor Jim Caviezel, Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire, Jason Evert (founder of the teen-aimed Chastity Project), Jack Posobiec of Human Events, Patricia Sandoval (pro-life and chastity speaker), and Tim Ballard.

As seen in the video below, Catholics for Catholics founder John Yep, who said Trump was “the rightful winner” of the 2020 presidential election and is “the only Catholic option for 2024,” said he hopes that Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump will attend the event, too. [NOTE: Incumbent President Joe Biden is Catholic, only the second Catholic to win the presidency, the first being John F. Kennedy.]

Tickets to the black-tie event (which includes a cocktail reception, dinner, speakers and prayer) are $1000 each.

The nonprofit organization Catholics for Catholics is hosting an event called Catholic Prayer for Trump at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. The event will be held on Tuesday, March 19, which is known in the Catholic Church as St. Joseph’s Day or the Feast of St. Joseph. The holiday is often observed by attending mass.

As seen in the advertisement below, eight MAGA Catholic stars will be in attendance including two men whom Trump pardoned: Ret. Lt. General Michael Flynn (he had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI) and Roger Stone, who was convicted of impeding a congressional inquiry that threatened Trump.

The other six guest stars are: actor Jim Caviezel, Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire, Jason Evert (founder of the teen-aimed Chastity Project), Jack Posobiec of Human Events, Patricia Sandoval (pro-life and chastity speaker), and Tim Ballard.

As seen in the video below, Catholics for Catholics founder John Yep, who said Trump was “the rightful winner” of the 2020 presidential election and is “the only Catholic option for 2024,” said he hopes that Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump will attend the event, too.

[NOTE: Incumbent President Joe Biden is Catholic, only the second Catholic to win the presidency, the first being John F. Kennedy.]

Tickets to the black-tie event (which includes a cocktail reception, dinner, speakers and prayer) are $1000 each.

The 60-year-old publication National Catholic Reporter describes Catholics for Catholics as “a new combative faith group” that is “forming allegiances with so-called ‘alt-right’ political leaders and promoting an unapologetic blend of Catholic doctrine and nationalism.”

Steven Millies, director of the Bernardin Center at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago said of Catholics for Catholics: “All this is being done very much despite the church.” Millies added: “I don’t have any sense, apart from Strickland and a few outliers, that there’s any other bishop in the world who is endorsing this version of Catholicism.”

Joseph Strickland was the bishop that Pope Francis removed from his post as bishop of Tyler, Texas in November 2023. Catholics for Catholics published Strickland’s book, Take Heart. Proceeds from the book go to “supporting Bishop Strickland and Catholics for Catholics."

Even though it's not hurricane season yet, maybe a lucky lightning strike at this god get together at the mar-a-shithole golf motel can burn it to the ground.

[Voltaire2]

1. Pope Gregory I would like a word about Simony.

[Joe Cool]

2. How many criminals are on that list?

[underpants]

4. Flynn and Stone for sure. Posobiec is just a POS

[2naSalit]

3. Hopefully...

They will all burst into flames and maga laga burns to the ground.

[Hugin]

5. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say...

Not many Catholics are paying $1000 to pray at Mar-a-largo. It’s yet another scam.

[jimfields33]

8. Just those pictures. Which is couch money for most of them.

[NanaCat]

48. Plenty of Catholics are authoritarians

In the 20th century alone, literally tens (if not hundreds) of millions of them in Latin America, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Spain, and the Ustaše regime of Croatia supported dictators, with glee.

Besides, how can loving authoritarians be a surprise of people who belong to a sect that spent centuries supporting autocrats and the divine right of kings?

Come on. Authoritarianism is baked right into that Vatican pie.

[Kid Berwyn]

6. They're gonna need a bigger exorcist.

Ones familiar with the Ratline of ‘46, too.

[SarahD]

7. The other Marjorie must be resting uneasily.

Marjorie Merriweather Post had Mar A Lago built. Good thing she's not alive to see what kind of perversions are going on there.

[Donkees]

9. 💰

[Timeflyer]

10. A Christian "combative faith group" full of hypocritical grifters.

[hatrack]

11. "Father O'Brien, why does your parish keep shrinking?"

"Gosh, Your Holiness, I'm still trying to figure that out!!"

[dalton99a]

12. NEXT: Give your prayer an extra boost with $10,000. Turbo charge level: $100,000.

[JohnnyRingo]

13. What's in it for them?

Indeed, what's in it for attendees?
It's a non-profit, so other than exorbitant administration salaries, there's no plus side to the organization. Some money will no doubt trickle down to the campaign, or more likely to Trump's lawyers, but I don't see it as a significant donation. I'm looking at the bait. What could possibly be gained by making connections to some has beens of the past? What can Roger Stone or Michael Flynn do for an aspiring entrepreneur donor these days?

Me thinks it'll be a flop. $1,000 a head to bow in prayer for an Anti-Christ with no return seems stretching it when donations are so easy to make. C for C is just trying to get their cut. Burn in Hell.

[Diamond_Dog]

52. I'm surprised J.D. isn't gonna be there.

[SouthernDem4ever]

14. Glad I left the church before they turned bizzarely weird

It was better back in the old days when the nuns beat the crap out of the grade school students and the priests were just pedophiles.

[Conjuay]

18. Ahhh, ...memories...

[NanaCat]

49. They were always weird when it came to politics

You were lucky to have the necessary brain cells that let you wake up to that reality.

[pfitz59]

15. Bait and switch

$1000 to get in, then a pitch for more money.

[Maeve]

16. Catholics for the Antichrist, more like

[Conjuay]

17. I wouldn't spend a grand to go pray for him,

But I would chip in for his exorcism.

[limbicnuminousity]

19. MAGA indulgences.

Wonder how the pope feels about this.

[NanaCat]

50. Given his fecklessness during Argentina's Dirty War

I doubt he's even Susan-Collins level concerned.

[Blue Owl]

20. Was gonna say a Hail Mary but tRump was over there trying to rape her

[Aristus]

21. The flock is getting fleeced.

Fuck 'em. I hope they go fucking bankrupt, like their false idol.

[Vinca]

22. You can't make this stuff up. You really can't.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

23. BIDEN IS THE CATHOLIC ONE!

[Deep State Witch]

24. So Glad

That my husband left the Catholic Church to become an Episcopalian.

[Ping Tung]

25. Will they be praying for Trump or to Trump (aka The New Messiah)?

Will he be blessing them with Holy Water and passing out new trading cards with him on the cross?

Will he be charging for the ho.y water and cards?

[bif]

26. I'm surprised the Pope doesn't say something about this.

[no_hypocrisy]

27. Surprised TSF hasn't already

announced he’s their Pope, not the fake one at the Vatican.

[niyad]

28. I pray for him every day, for free.

[Oneironaut]

29. Totally not idolatry.

[RKP5637]

30. More fools and shysters are born each day.

[lpbk2713]

31. BWAHAHAHA ... P T Barnum would love this bunch.

There's one born every minute.

[sinkingfeeling]

32. Looks more like a traveling RW circus.

[llmart]

33. First of all...

They ARE NOT President and First Lady. Second, I doubt she'll even be there. Third, he isn't even Catholic!

Honestly, how stupid would you have to be to fall for this schtick? That's a rhetorical question of course.

[DBoon]

34. I call them "Franciso Franco Catholics"

[PortTack]

35. That is sick!

[TlalocW]

36. Pobosiec pushed Pizzagate hard

Which led to the whole adrenochroming conspiracy theory which both Caviezel and Ballard are loud believers in.

[joanbarnes]

37. This make me SO sick!

Even tho I am a lapsed Catholic for obvious reasons, I observe the Feast of St. Joseph as a special day. If I won the lottery, I would buy all the tickets and tank the event.

[keep_left]

38. LOL--Jack Prilosec, Michael Know-less and other "Catholic 'stars' "...

...what a bunch of grifters. The event will no doubt be featured on EWTN, (Ir)-Relevant Radio, and the other radtrad media outlets. I'm sure EWTN's Raymond Arroyo will devote a substantial portion of his nightly news show to this.

[Ray Bruns]

39. Catholics for Catholics

What a stupid name

[brooklynite]

40. This appears to be the QANON traveling show...

[Firestorm49]

41. This is nuts. Those people are CINO - Catholics in name only. They don't have a clue what the guy named

Jesus professed. It’s just another two bit bullshit move to get the truly stupid to cough up a grand. What dopes!

[ificandream]

42. I found this quote amusing.

The 60-year-old publication National Catholic Reporter describes Catholics for Catholics as “a new combative faith group” that is “forming allegiances with so-called ‘alt-right’ political leaders and promoting an unapologetic blend of Catholic doctrine and nationalism.”

I mean if that description that surely was taken from a press release doesn't tell you this group is nothing but b.s. ...

And I agree with those who would suggest Pope Francis should say something. I think it's safe to say that Jesus wouldn't attend this stupid event.

[STING2]

43. What is happening to the Catholics?

Catholics are being swayed by trump to somehow believe his lies. I do not understand how this makes any sense. What is right about God wanting trump to be President. He is such a bad person. Not religious at all and has a strangle hold on religious people with his lies. God Help Us.

[Cowpunk]

44. That would be a great time for the FBI to stop by...

to arrest Flynn and Stone for criminal conspiracy and sedition.

[Rhiannon12866]

45. According to Mary Trump's book, TFG's sister was going to marry a Catholic man and was worried her father would object

TFG isn't Catholic, he isn't anything. President Biden is a lifelong Catholic.

[Buns_of_Fire]

46. Choir to be led by Ted Nugent? nt

[GoCubsGo]

47. A fool and his money...

I'll be surprised if they find any suckers that have any money left to give to this latest Grift-A-Rama. They've already drained most of them dry.

[Irish_Dem]

51. When people pretend they speak for God, they are very dangerous.

[Attilatheblond]

53. Yeah, they can afford to pay their fair share of taxes

And if they donate to pols who will stop that from happening, they are NOT Christians.

[greatauntoftriplets]

54. Roger Stone is Catholic???

I thought they his deity was Tricky Dick.

[patphil]

55. Strange, Trump isn't Catholic; not ever Christian.

Actually, Trump is the antithesis of everything Jesus taught.
I consider Trump to be a very Satanic person.
On the other hand, Biden is a true Catholic, whose love, empathy, and compassion truly reflects the teachings of Jesus.
I wonder how these so-called Catholics rationalize their actions.
