Cardinal says Donald Trump "takes his Christian faith seriously

[douglas9]

Archbishop of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan said in a Fox News interview that thrice married, twice divorce, adjudicated rapist and serial liar Donald Trump “takes his Christian faith seriously.”

“I’ve had talks with him before in the past where he’s pretty blunt about, you know, he can’t say that he was raised as a, as a very zealous Christian, but he takes his Christian faith seriously,” Dolan told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” in a clip highlighted by The Hill.

Dolan also claimed divine intervention saved Trump from assassination this summer.

“I think of Ronald Reagan and John Paul II,” Dolan said. “Both survived assassination attempts very close to one another, and when the two of them met for the first time, Ronald Reagan said to Pope Saint John Paul II, ‘Mother Teresa told me that she thinks the Lord spared me, because the Lord has somethin’ special in mind for me.’”

1. You mean his faith that God has ordained him to rule over the entire world?

I'm sure he does take that seriously, but that's not Christianity.

[erronis]

50. He doesn't even believe that. Those are words that came tumbling out of his upper orifice.

[Trueblue1968]

75. Trump is not a Christian. He has not accepted Jesus as his Savior And has not sought forgiveness 4 his sins.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. OMG

[Ocelot II]

3. If he takes his Christian faith so seriously,

why has he spent most of his life violating the Ten Commandments, committing the Seven Deadly Sins (pride, anger, gluttony, sloth, lust, envy and greed), and completely ignoring that part in Matthew 25 where Jesus directs us to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, heal the sick, clothe the naked, visit the prisoner, all that woke stuff? Jesus also says you'll go to Hell if you don't do those things. But at least Trump and Cardinal Dolan can keep each other company there.

[Hekate]

30. That has long been my thought

[La Coliniere]

39. You said it all. My thoughts exactly.

[erronis]

52. Because the xian "faith" and "principles" give him a list of things to violate.

Boy goes to confession and tells the priest he has been with a girl of loose morals.
"That's a grievous sin," the priest says. "Tell me: Was it Mary O'Hara?"

"No, Father."

"Was it Kate Dannaher?"

"No, Father."

"Was it Kathleen McGonigle?"

"No, Father. I don't want to say who it was."

Later, as the boy leaves the church, he sees a friend, who asks him, "How'd it go?"

He answers, "Well, I got ten Hail Marys, five Our Fathers... and three great leads."

[mercuryblues]

62. Toss in some adultery and

False witness against thy neighbor, stealing, murder. All in a day's work for trump.

[wnylib]

64. +100,000

Well said.

[get the red out]

4. Dolan is right

Trump takes his religion as seriously as the all the big names in the business, I'm sure!

[marble falls]

5. As seriously as some clergy members of various faiths take altar boys?

[RockRaven]

6. When you lie as much as Dolan does, what is one more? Easy peasy.

[yorkster]

7. I knew it would be Dolan..

Sanctimonious Maximus.

[GoCubsGo]

38. Was about to post the same thing.

That's the same POS who was yukking it up with The Felon Rapist at that charity dinner back in September. Sickening. So glad I left that cult decades ago.

[newdeal2]

8. So how does that explain JFK, RFK, Lincoln, MLK, Gandhi etc.

Looks like the church is also sucking up to him.

[julmur]

9. Catholic

And they wonder why membership is sinking at Catholic Churches, the hypocrisy is unbelievable

[snowybirdie]

10. Looks like

The Holy Cardinal need to go to Confession to be forgiven for breaking the 8th Commandment.

[JanMichael]

11. A hahahahahaha. Proves he is 100% full of shit.

[Kid Berwyn]

12. Like the time he put the kids in cages?

Like the time he helped Saudi Arabia murder and butcher a journalist?

Like the time he let Putin's stooges run free over the nation and planet?

Like the time he asked Ukraine to help him defame Joe Biden and Hunter Biden?

Like the time he publicly demonized good people like Dr. Fauci?

Like the time he let millions die from COVID?

Gee. I don't really see Trump's Christian Faith.

It will be interesting to learn what the special thing the good Lord has planned for him is.

[Kid Berwyn]

61. Like the time a hurricane hit Puerto Rico?

After the disaster wrecked the island, pee-resident Trump abandoned millions of US citizens to fend for themselves. Thousands died. That’s serious.

[Cha]

13. Oh Puleeze... & I see he Doesn't EITHER

Assholes.

On Edit.. Unless the cardinal is addressing Anti Christ's faith in Putin .

[Brainstormy]

14. Whaaaaaaaaa!

too funny!

[SocialDemocrat61]

15. Dolan is an idiot

and a racist. No wonder he likes Trump.

[sop]

16. 'Groups Condemn Appointment of Archbishop Dolan to Cardinal of New York'

"The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) strongly condemn Pope Benedict’s appointment of Archbishop Timothy Dolan to Cardinal of the Archdiocese of New York. Dolan’s mishandling of child sexual abuse cases is well-documented, from failing to report direct admissions by offending priests to actively lobbying against reforming statutes of limitations on child sexual abuse cases in Wisconsin. The archbishop’s track record is consistent with the Catholic Church’s record of covering up child sex abuse allegations."

https://ccrjustice.org/home/press-center/press-releases/groups-condemn-appointment-archbishop-dolan-cardinal-new-york

Dolan takes his christian faith seriously, too.

[TlalocW]

17. I don't listen to people

Who are part of an international criminal organization of child molesters when it comes to who is moral or not.

[multigraincracker]

18. He does have The Seven deadly Sins covered.

Kind of the poster boy for them.

[Aristus]

19. I'm sorry...is this the opening joke in a stand-up act?

A guy who thinks Two Corinthians is a thing, and who holds a Bible upside-down for a photo op?

I left off the part where he doesn't follow any of Christ's teachings, because it's not like that is unusual in the Christianist community.

[delisen]

20. Dolan denies life saving medical care to women and wallows with Trump

Rich men wallowing together ro deny the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posrerity

[Prairie Gates]

21. Dolan is a full on clown

On the same day that Trump upbraids Biden for commuting federal death sentences, to boot! Somebody remind Dolan that the death penalty is as odious to Catholic doctrine as is abortion. Unbelievable.

[kysrsoze]

23. Did Dolan earn his 30 pieces of silver? What a fucking asshole.

[returnee]

48. God is watching,Timmy.

Good luck in the afterlife.
The Divine Comedy revisited.

[edhopper]

24. But Dolan

does not take child rape seriously.

[Initech]

25. Yeah, sorry, get out of jail free cards don't work in real life.

[Traildogbob]

26. Maybe tomorrow

When the Meagan Kelly White as snow Jesus blows out his birthday candles he should make a wish.
Like Wish Daddy would wake the hell up and stand up to those that trash his image and rules.
Maybe protect a kid or two from guns here and there. All the churches in the billionaires fraternity should be treated as religious extremest cults and lose tax exemption.
Gonna be lots of red hats at a gate hoping for mansions, golden streets and virgins, but the guy behind that gate will be in their favorite color, all red, with a big shit eating grin.
Time Jesus starts turning over some tables and breaking shit.

[Docreed2003]

27. What a crock of absolute horse shit

[3auld6phart]

28. Porcine

Maure. Stinks all the way up here.

[Ritabert]

29. And they wonder why Catholics left the Church

...myself included.

[Deep State Witch]

31. One PeDo To Another

They both "like them young." Only Dolan likes young men, and Trump likes young women.

[keithbvadu2]

32. Donald J. Trump; the republicans' Messiah who ridicules Holy Communion.

Trump: Drink my little wine, have my little cracker

[krawhitham]

33. Dolan was bought and paid for a long time ago

[bluesbassman]

34. He keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

There’s one key point in “taking one’s Christian faith very seriously”: Contrition. The Sick Fuck never admits fault, is literally on record saying he has never asked God for forgiveness. He thinks of himself before any others, he possesses no empathy. And upon THAT foundation is a man who has spent his lifetime engaged in all seven deadly sins. This is a man that the good Cardinal would have us believe “takes his Christianity very seriously”? You need to turn in your robe fool.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

35. Ahura Mazda is LOL.*

*pronounced Acura Mazda, just like the cars!

[Danmel]

36. I'm so glad I'm Jewish

[PlanetBev]

47. I was just saying that to my sister, Dammel

I worked in a synagogue for 12 years. I’m not religious, I just needed a job. There was no shortage of hypocrisy and politics there, but at least nobody told me how to think.
.
Plus, I avoid the last minute 🎄 rush.

[Danmel]

49. Stick a menorah in the window and you're done

Perfect for lazy people like me

[Wounded Bear]

37. Probably said it with a straight face, too...

[Mike Nelson]

40. Ha-ha!

... on taking one's Christian faith seriously, I'd put Crooked Donald on the other side of Jimmy Carter. No bonus points for identifying the real Christian!

[Autumn]

41. Of course he does, his religion is a complete fraud too.

[Retrograde]

42. Dolan's stil mad that he didn't get to be pope

More than one diocese under his jurisdiction is facing bankruptcy and losing parishioners by the busload because monies are going to pay lawyers fighting lawsuits relating to church abuses. But hobnobbing with the gliterati is probably more fun than dealing with the day-to-day issues of running a large part of the Catholic Church.

[Bleacher Creature]

43. JFC, why can't these people at least be honest about why they support him.

I would get it if a person just said that they support him because he does what they want and hates all the same people as them, but to say things that are comically false is just pathetic.

[-misanthroptimist]

44. I find that interesting

My takeaway is that Cardinal Dolan doesn't believe in hell. Either that or he believes he can lie with impunity due to his office.

[Paladin]

45. Bullshit. Oh such bullshit. (nt)

[Vinca]

46. JFC - somebody's expecting a fat envelope this year.

[Blue Owl]

51. He's being paid by the church to say that

[no_hypocrisy]

53. So did Elmer Gantry.

How’d that work out?

[claudette]

54. Yeah. That's why

the violent orange felon can’t wait to execute those on death row

[GreenWave]

55. Does he bury his ex wife on sacred ground or on tax dodging golf courses?

[LAS14]

56. And the surprises just keep happening. nt

[delisen]

57. Dolan wants to humanize one man while dehumanizing all women.

The shepherd might consider giving up the fancy title, the meet and greets with the rich, famous, and powerful and instead meet the women in their kitchens and their workplaces, to listen and learn. He might reflect upon the life of Jesus and his relationship with women.
If Nolan travels this path, he will be spending much time in silence but when he speaks his message will be powerful.

[CanonRay]

58. Welp, he probably takes it as seriously as Cardinal Dolan

[rurallib]

59. Dolan and trump share a belief - there is no gawd and there is no

after life nor any after life punishment.

these two run basically the same con game

[surfered]

60. I'm calling bulls**t!

[Mossfern]

63. This makes me sick ....

and glad I'm Jewish too.

[WarGamer]

65. because raw dogging a p0rn star is in the bible... right?

[kskiska]

66. The church he and his family attended

was Norman Vincent Peale's Marble Collegiate Church. He was known for his book "The Power of Positive Thinking," which appealed to his wealthy parishioners. He disapproved of Adlai Stevenson because he had been divorced.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

67. This idiot has been hitting the wine too hard

[sakabatou]

68. Right, the living embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins "takes Christian faith seriously"

[Rebl2]

69. If I

were catholic, I would have to leave the church. This cardinal must be deaf and blind to all of the things trump has done his whole adult life. What a jerk.

[Solly Mack]

70. Fart noises

[valleyrogue]

71. Must be one of the Arizona cardinals instead. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

72. This is why decreasing numbers of people take the church seriously

How many newly minted atheists did that interview just create?

[Maeve]

73. If i wasn't already a recovering Catholic, this would do it

I gave up on the church because ..many reasons..but this bozo is clueless and worshipping something other than Jesus

[milestogo]

74. Just like all those pedo priests.

[walkingman]

76. An example of why people are so turned off by religion these days - it is anything but righteous.

[Wiz Imp]

77. If you needed any more proof that the Catholic Church is no longer a serious Christian entity, there you have it.

For this guy to have risen to one of the highest positions in the church and endorse a man who stands for everything that is the complete opposite of the teachings of Jesus Christ, shows that the teachings of Jesus mean noothing to the church. If the Catholic church had any integrity, this guy would have been kicked out long ago. Of course we already knew they had no integrity over their handling of the pedophile priests.

[elleng]

78. NOT A CHANCE.

[OAITW r.2.0]

79. IMHO. Cardinals and Bishops in the RCC are of the Republican class of this organization.

They are all about the status quo. The fact that such a person could make this statement, reconfirms my views of the state of this religion.

8 years of Jesuit education (great teachers) factors in this opinion.

[Mysterian]

80. LMAO

Religion is a bane upon humanity.

[Jilly_in_VA]

81. Methinks

Fat Timmy is suffering from dementia.

[Dr. Shepper]

82. Just another reason why I could

Never trust the RCC ever again. Bunch o liars.

[Bettie]

83. That is simultaneously the

funniest and saddest thing I've heard today.

Oh...it's Dolan, who is a joke himself.

[Mz Pip]

84. The documentary Mea Maxima Culpa

reveals what Dolan really is, and it’s not good.

[Meowmee]

85. If you believe this

I have a few bridges to sell you 😀

[lees1975]

86. He would not be on a revenge crusade if he took his Christian faith seriously.

But then, I have to wonder how many Catholic priests take theirs seriously. Or for how many of them it's just a scam. And the same can be said for conservative, Evangelical pastors.

Trump has openly denied the core principle of a Christian conversion experience, which is the acknowledgement of his own sin and the need for God's forgiveness. He has, on multiple occasions, in front of prominent religious leaders, on camera, stated that he has done nothing that requires God's forgiveness. In virtually every branch of Christianity, that's an open denial of the Doctrine of Salvation, and that testimony is Trump telling the world he is not Christian.

Trump has defined his own belief in God, contrary to any Christian revelation spoke n by Jesus Christ, who defined Christianity for the world. Submission to God is a key component of the Christian faith, and that is something Trump cannot and will not do. And any Catholic priest who knows his doctrine and is being faithful to the Church and to Christ would not be able to acknowledge this about Trump and remain credible.

[LudwigPastorius]

88. "Archbishop of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan said that Donald Trump 'takes his Christian faith seriously'."

Oh, horseshit, Archie.

What part of "thou shalt not bear false witness" are you unclear on?

[Captain Zero]

89. Dolan is quite obviously OPUS DEI

I say we deport Opus Dei.

[spanone]

90. What a load of crap.

Sounds like Dolan is a magat....eff him.

[Danmel]

91. Think he would have let the Holy Family stay at a trump hotel?

Or would there be no room at the inn?
