Trump: "When we go in church and I drink my little wine....and have my little cracker, ...

Trump is such a crude man!




Donald Trump:
“I’m a Sunday church person.”

“When we go in church and I drink my little wine....and have my little cracker, I guess that’s a form of asking for forgiveness.”

Some of the Protestant sects use grape juice for their communion, not actual wine.

Really.

Even if they serve wine, most believers don't consider communion wine 'intoxicating wine' because the clergy has chanted some kind of incantation that 'changes' it. So they can drink away. It's not like it's all that much in quantity, anyway.

Also: his church attendance is immaterial, because it says absolutely nothing about anyone's morals (or lack thereof) or the sincerity (or lack thereof) of anyone's beliefs, just like it says nothing about the tens of millions of Christians who rarely or never attend services themselves. If being in a pew on the regular mattered, then what does it say that the serial killer BTK attended services often enough to be president of his church council?

but then again, it was Donald Trump and he has no idea what communion is about. If he was going to fake being religious to please the base, at least you'd think he would have tried to learn a few things before opening his mouth.

That whole fiasco about his favorite bible verse is another example. How hard would it have been to memorize ONE short verse?

Maybe that is why he made that awkward comment about "2 Corinthians" to Liberty University students in 2016. In 2015 he had answered Mark Halpern and John Heilemann's questions about favorite bible verses, “I wouldn’t want to get into it. Because to me, that’s very personal. The Bible means a lot to me, but I don’t want to get into specifics.” Everyone knew he was lying. He is such a terrible liar.

Mon Apr 1, 2024, 12:10 AM

Apparently it's too big a word (and concept) for Trump.

What's most ironic is that the radtrad Catholic media (EWTN, Relevant Radio, etc.) is absolutely obsessed with enforcing orthodoxy when it comes to their own followers. They drone on endlessly, day after life-sucking day about "the Real Presence", "Body, Blood, and Divinity", nearly every waking moment. Yet I don't recall EWTN's Raymond Arroyo chastising Trump for his seeming blasphemy of the Eucharist (and Arroyo did in fact interview Trump on the execrable World Over show).

...to radtrad media, especially "traddier than thou" types like EWTN or (Ir)-Relevant Radio.

In the '90s, the late Mother Angelica (EWTN) blew a gasket over a female actor portraying Christ in a Passion play; in response, and nearly overnight, she changed her convent's mode of dress back to an ultra-trad nun's habit not seen since the 1940s. Mother Angelica also carried on a feud with Cardinal Mahony over an angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin theological dispute regarding one of Mahony's written documents that was completely imagined on her part; she failed to actually read the document fully, and then when confronted with proof, she said "I don't do footnotes". Mother Angelica was censured and almost lost her network over that. (You could certainly say that she greatly overestimated her position in the chain of command).

Radtrad Catholic media is really a trip; they pound away at doctrine hour after hour, day after day. Everyone must parrot the exact same line with zero deviation, and they are obsessed about anyone, anywhere that might be the least bit "heterodox". The unintentional effect is that they have driven many away from the Church.

I recall watching some of her show with friends' DEVOUT Catholic moms and grandmothers (never the dads, for some reason*), and I was always surprised to hear how she sounded like a typical scold - meanness, condescension, perpetual frown, and all. I'll def have to look up the story behind the habit.

*some of the boys my age and younger loved to watch the cute teen recite the Rosary with Clair de Lune playing in the background, so my memories of that show are really bizarre. I was raised a Methodist, fwiw

Mother Angelica went on her dumb show after hearing about the Passion play (which was at World Youth Day in '93, I think). As would be expected out of the perpetual scold, she went on and on, "I hate you, liberal Church", etc. She should have been bounced from her network right then and there, as she never even bothered to go up the chain of command...always on the attack, hotheaded as hell, damn the consequences. Ultimately, she did lose the network and was forced to turn it over to a lay board at the last minute. It was taken over by Catholic neocons (and more recently, radtrads) who have destroyed what little of it was even worth saving.
