During this most holy time of year for our Catholic faith, a group with the original name, "Catholics for Catholics" is hosting a $1,000-a-ticket black-tie event, Catholic Prayer for Trump.
The dinner program on St Joseph's Day March 19, at Trump's home Mar-a-Lago, features a speaker lineup of heavyweights on the political far right, such as the convicted felon Roger Stone, conservative activist and self-described "dirty trickster," convicted felon retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who served briefly as Trump's national security adviser, and the actor who played Jesus in a movie 20 years ago.
Catholics for Catholics is just one of the many well funded groups Catholics Vote Common Good is up against this year. Another is Catholic Vote which has pledged $50 million to defeat President Biden.
Ours is a grassroots effort that doesn't have millions to spend or $1000 a head fundraisers to raise our funds. We do, however, have Catholic voters all over the country like you who are committed to issues of social justice, immigration, climate change, and eliminating the scourge of White Christian Nationalism.
We hope you can contribute at any amount you are comfortable to help us take on the alt right who is using our Catholic faith like a weapon.
