[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wording's a bit vague, and I'm not Catholic, but I think almost any a theistic religious person can agree to pray for Donald Trump at soul. No matter what you think of him, he's a major figure at the moment, and the course of his life affects all of us. Trusting God with a prayer to move Trump to a better position is a religiously a good thought. [/quote]

I am a Catholic and unless he is on his deathbed it’s against the rules and since Catholics are all about rules whoever sanctioned this should be immediately removed.[/quote]

You haven’t got the slightest idea what you’re talking about. Somebody went and asked that the scheduled Mass be offered for the intentions of a given individual, and made an extremely modest financial offering. This is an everyday occurrence in the Catholic Church. People probably most frequently ask for Masses to be said for the repose of the souls of deceased persons, but it is absolutely within “the rules” for the Mass to be requested for the benefit of someone living. Common occasions would be birthdays, marriages, reception of other sacraments, financial or other special needs, and illness (not necessarily “deathbed”). [/quote]
