Roman Catholics celebrate the birth of the Virgin Mary on September 8. This feast is known as the “Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary” and has been observed since at least the 6th century. It is one of the most important feasts in the Catholic Church designed to venerate Mary and recognize “her role in salvation.” [1] This is a feast that elevates Mary to the same level as Jesus.
Donald Trump participated in the celebration of the “Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary” by posting on his social media account the famous image of Mary when she allegedly appeared to a man named Juan Diego in Mexico in 1531. [2] Roman Catholics hold that Marian apparitions are significant because they represent the supernatural appearance of Mary to deliver spiritual messages. For Catholics, these are times when heaven and earth converge to provide the faithful with direction, consolation, and inspiration.
Some will say that Trump is simply being opportunistic while trying to connect with Catholic voters during this election year. Even if that is true, he is definitely showing his alignment with Rome, signaling his commitment to embrace and uphold Catholic doctrine. Merging devotion with the Virgin Mary with political campaigns is problematic and dangerous because it gives a sense that Trump is showing his allegiance to the very things that God forbids.
In truth, we must firmly reject the idea of Marian apparitions and any and all forms of communication with dead spirits. It is both unbiblical and spiritually dangerous. When a person dies, they enter a state of unconscious sleep until the resurrection at the Second Coming of Christ (Ecclesiastes 9:5 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). Because the dead don’t know anything and are in a state of unconsciousness, any supposed communication with the spirits of the deceased is actually a fraud and a deception by demonic forces (Revelation 16:14).
Attempting to communicate with Mary through prayers or other forms of spiritualism is a violation of biblical teachings and an invitation to dangerous influences (Deuteronomy 18:10–12). God’s word clearly condemns the practice of seeking to contact the dead. The resurrection of the dead at the Second Coming of Christ is the ultimate hope for reunion with our loved ones who sleep in the grave.
The Bible does not portray Mary as having a unique or active role in the plan of salvation beyond her part in giving birth to Jesus. Salvation comes exclusively through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, and heavenly intercession, with no special role attributed to Mary in this regard. Mary was faithful and obedient, particularly in her role as the mother of Jesus, but she is not to be venerated, worshipped, or placed on the same level as Christ.

If Trump will celebrate this Catholic feast, he can easily enforce a Sunday law.

Cela ne doit pas nous étonné. Car le temps est venu où le monde et l’église doivent s’unir pour contrecarrer la vérité éternelle et indiscutable des Saintes-Ecritures.
Il est temps pour nous de lire plus la prophétie et la pratiquer que de faire quoique ce soit.
