Yesterday, on the 7th of November 2024, Mr. Donald Trump was elected President of the United States for the third time (2016, 2020 and 2024.)  The middle of those was stolen.  Yes, I am a 2020 “election-denier.”  But that is not the topic of today’s article.  The topic of today’s article (only to be tackled in the second half of this article) is to evaluate the assertion that certain Catholics (from left to right on the spectrum of theology and politics) have made, namely, that it would have been better for Kamala to become President so we could have gotten “done and over” the coming-persecution of Catholics.  We are going to see how wrong (and deceived) these Catholics are.

But first, let’s review a few items. Supernatural refers to the things of God, the saints and the angels (heaven.) Natural refers to humans and creation (earth.) Preternatural refers to demons and evil (hell.) The main reason I voted for Donald Trump for the third time (2016, 2020 and 2024) is because everyone who hates Christ seems to hate Trump with a similar preternatural rage. I am not saying President Trump is anything like Jesus Christ. But his enemies seem to think so in treating both of them with an unearthly anger.

This was a tweet I saw yesterday after the election. Granted, this nasty leftist received many replies from conservatives. Some of those replies were compassionate and some were funny. But can you imagine conservatives following any election they lost publicly saying something like this? At least, not many of them would.  In fact, I don’t even think many Mondale Democrats talked this way when they lost to Reagan in 1984.  However, the left had numerous similar reactions to the re-election of Mr. Donald Trump to the Presidency this November of 2024 all over social media. In fact, look at the above tweet again. Notice it not only had 5.1M views when I screenshot it, but it also had 275k likes.  That means at least 275,000 people with X accounts agree with that diabolical sentiment.  This is how I know Satan hates the re-election of Mr. Donald Trump.

“But Trump is pro-IVF and even pro-abortion in certain circumstances!”  Yes, and this is horrible, as IVF causes abortion.  But we must remember that Satan works in the strategy of how many people will be lost or saved when we are talking about a national election for the world’s superpower.  This is especially true in an election which comes right up to the point of persecuting Christians (the promised topic of the second half of this article.) But for now, understand that the most important thing in my life besides the salvation of souls (actually tied to it) is the ending of abortion.  I am not just a keyboard warrior.  I go to counsel or pray or exorcise the abortion center near me every week or every month.  I have been to jail twice in my peaceful work for the ending of abortion and I have another hearing in New Jersey coming up around the inauguration of Trump in 2025.

So I believe that Trump has mendaciously downplayed how pro-life he is in order to get elected. No, I do not think lying is ever good. No, I don’t think doing something evil to reach a good end is ever permitted in Catholic moral theology. But Trump is not a Catholic and he may not know the basics of morality, like the fact that the end does not always justify the means. More to the point, I am a person who follows the old Latin phrase, acta non verba, which means I follow “deeds not words.”

What are some of the deeds that attest to Trump’s true stance on abortion that may have even indicated he lied about how pro-life he was in this last 2024 Presidential campaign?

The site March for Life explains what Trump did his first week in office: “The Mexico City Policy was initiated by President Reagan and promoted by every Republican administration since. In President Trump’s first week in office he expanded the scope of the PLGHA policy to not only include foreign aid provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and State Department, but also most U.S agencies and departments that work in global health assistance – like the Department of Defense and the Department of Health and Human Services… The PLGHA policy mandates that foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who receive aid from the United States must agree not to perform or promote abortions in developing countries.”

Catholics For Trump reminds readers that Trump “appointed three pro-life justices to the United States Supreme Court who overturned Roe v. Wade as unconstitutional. This was an epic event that Catholics in the pro-life movement had been fighting for since 1972 and that many thought would never become a reality. The Dobbs case in 2022 allowed every state the freedom to restrict abortion up to the point of banning it completely if it so desired. It finally ended the barbaric ‘Constitutional right’ to an abortion. All but one previous ‘pro-life’ Republican President since Nixon had failed to nominate 100% pro-life justices which would have ended Roe much earlier.”

Catholics For Trump above is a very long article revealing that voting for Trump was not simply the “lesser of two evils.” The choice of the Donald versus the Kamala was essentially a choice between an ignorant man versus a seething, diabolical woman who hates Christians and life. But even if the election had been simply a choice between two evils, our best pre-Vatican II theologians explain (based on St. Thomas Aquinas) that we are indeed to vote for the lesser of two evils:

· Tanquerey (traditional moral theologian) – If the vote is between two evil persons, one may vote for the less evil and most profitable to the cause of good. (Tomus Tertius, De Variis Statuum Obligationibus, Caput I, De officiis laicorum, n. 999). Prummer concurs.
and
· Merkelbach (traditional moral theologian) – When given a choice between two candidates who aren’t perfect, it is licit to elect the better candidate to prevent a more unworthy candidate from coming into power if there is no hope that a perfect candidate will be elected. “Voters who, through grave fault by abstaining from voting do not stop an evil decision, election, or law from coming to pass, if they are bound by a specific duty to stop a foreseen harm which follows, are cooperators in evil.” (Summa Theologiae Moralis, Tomus Secundus, Tractatus De Virtute Cardinali Justitiae, Tertia Pars, Sectio A, De Justitia Commutativa, n. 316.)

Too many traditional Catholics did a purity-test on the last two candidates without realizing that Donald or Kamala both bring 5,000 people on their teams into the Federal government to whom they can not give a purity-test.  For Trump, this includes many serious Catholic Christians and many serious non-Catholic Christians.  For Kamala, it would have been zero for both.

The entire world was looking at this election not only through the lens of abortion, but also nuclear war.  It’s not even a disputed fact among semi-sane Democrats that Trump is exponentially more opposed to war than Kamala or Biden. Furthermore, persecuted Christians from across the globe knew that Trump would help liberate Christians under various tyrannical regimes.  Listen to this Chaldean Catholic priest speaking of persecuted Christians in Iraq and the meaning of Trump’s upcoming election:

Now to the main topic of this article titled Would Persecution Have Been Better Under Kamala?  I am speaking specifically about persecution against Christians in the United States.  The problem is that before the election, I saw Catholics (from liberal to traditional on the spectrum) admit that Kamala would finally bring the open persecution of Christians, whereas another Trump election would simply delay it.  In a spectacular manner, they concluded it would be better to elect Kamala. (Yes, this was asserted from liberal and conservative and traditional Catholics on social media.) This is further proof of a preternatural influence of thinking upon the cerebrums of Catholics (or at least being spectacularly stupid) for several reasons:

  1. You don’t know that.  You don’t know God for sure that God has slated the United States to be the recipients of red martyrdom.  Perhaps God is pleased with how many white martyrs we already have.  Or, perhaps God knows we Americans are too wimpy to undergo red martyrdom without denying Christ.  In fact, to pretend like you know for sure that Americans are ready to undergo red martyrdom for Christ is almost to claim a certain form of omnipotence.  Such imitation of God is very much like Lucifer’s fall into becoming Satan.  Very dangerous ground here.
  2. You don’t know if you could undergo martyrdom.  In the second half of his book, Victories of the Martyrs, St. Alphonsus Liguori recounts Japanese martyr after Japanese martyr after Japanese martyr.  But one would-be martyr failed at martyrdom because he cracked under torture (yet died anyway from that torture.)  The reason for him cracking?  St. Alphonsus says it is because he did not call on Jesus and Mary in his torture.  In other words, no one has the power to undergo martyrdom by themselves.  To sit on social media and say “Let’s get the persecution of Christians going under Kamala” is again a preternatural level of arrogance that precisely blocks the grace needed for martyrdom.
  3. Even if you called on Jesus and Mary and got the red crown of martyrdom under Kamala Harris, are you so sure everyone you love would make it to heaven under open persecution?  Even if you’re a tough-guy willing to volunteer yourself for martyrdom, do you want to volunteer your nine year-old daughter for that?  Marxists are all too willing to rape and kill a nine year-old girl in a gulag.  But even for adult Catholics, we know this:  While open persecution of  Catholics produces many martyrs who gain extremely high-levels of glory in heaven, it also sifts-out ordinary Catholics who go to hell after denying Christ.  Read the accounts of the early martyrs.  Not everyone can endure it without denying Christ.  Many of these ordinary Christians (who would crack under torture) might have been able to make it to heaven under a non-persecution-based government, as in a relatively peaceful regime like that of Trump.  So, even if you are so so so sure you could make it to heaven in a Kamala-gulag (a category of martyrdom you’re probably not actually in by the very virtue of your arrogance—again see number 2 above) you obviouly have no idea how horrible torture is as you sit in a 72º room on your MacBook Air typing “We need a Kamala so we Christians can get persecuted faster.”  This is preposterously ignorant of Church history.
  4. It’s not your job to precipitate martyrdom.  St. Thomas Aquinas (and all Catholic theologians) hold that patriotism is a virtue.  We are called to be patriots of the United States of America.  It doesn’t mean we deny the freemasonic or Deistic priniciples found in many of our founding fathers.  But it does mean that according to the Social Reign of Christ the King, every single square foot of land in Tennessee belongs to Christ the King.  Every single square foot of land in Idaho belongs to Christ the King.  Every single square foot of land even in California belongs to Christ the King.  Thus, it is your job by voting to ensure Christ’s peace, not persecution of Christians.  Why do I even have to type something so obvious?  Because some traditional Catholics are deceived.
  5. When you say “Let’s get the persecution over with” you don’t even know if such a persucution would start, absent Catholics making such stupid statements.  Like I explained in number one, you don’t even know if God in His eternal wisdom has decreed permission for an active persecution to land in this country, so you can’t claim you know for sure it is time we “get it over with.” Rather, it’s your job to protect Christians, not help persecute them.  Again, if that is not obvious to you, you are deceived.  Martyrdom is a gift, not something you pander for.

About a decade ago, my friend Jesse Romero compared Trump to King Cyrus of the Old Testament.  King Cyrus was a Persian (Iranian) who never became a Jew, but was chosen by God (“anointed” in Hebrew) to free the Jews.   So also, I don’t know if Trump is Christian or not.  I know for sure he is not a Catholic (at the time of this production.)  But like Cyrus, he gives Christians in this country another chance to avoid the gulags that broke many Christians under communism from Croatia to Cuba to China over the past 100 years of communism.  That is what we would have had under Kamala.  And to say “It would have been better to have that” puts you in a category of “deceived” in my book.  Most of the people in that category have no idea what torture does to families, and who it actually breaks under it.  They have no idea how messy or breaking torture is, even under God’s grace.  It is our job to avoid it (even using personal weapons) until we are marched off to the gulags.  Then (and only then) we can pray for the grace to praise God while dying for and with Jesus Christ.

Let’s thank God that Christians are free for another four years.  It’s not your job to help persecute Catholics, especially if you claim to be one.  The fact that obvious reality has to be explained in an internet article by a priest shows how many American Catholics are deceived into thinking they are tougher and holier than they actually are.
