On December 8, 2025, the White House issued the “Presidential Message on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.” In the 2025 proclamation, President Trump publicly recognized December 8 as a “Holy Day,” honoring Mary’s sinless conception and her role as the mother of Jesus. Trump links Mary’s veneration directly to American history by stating that in 1792 the first U.S. Catholic bishop consecrated the young nation to “the mother of Christ.”
He also recounts how Catholics tied Mary’s intercession to historic victories, like the Battle of New Orleans, and notes that many churches, schools, hospitals, and institutions across the U.S. bear Mary’s name or draw inspiration from Marian devotion. This is basically putting Mary as a foundational figure for “our Great American Story.” Trump has joined Marian devotion with American national identity. America is truly forming into an image of the Roman Catholic Church.
We are witnessing the President of a historically Protestant nation issuing a national proclamation for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception—a distinctly Roman Catholic holy day—and concluding it with the “Hail Mary, full of Grace” prayer, effectively calling the nation to participate in intercessory prayer to Mary. This is open Marian veneration, a public affirmation of Catholic doctrine, and the elevation of Mary as a national religious figure.
The White House published the following, which is part of Donald Trump’s proclamation:
• “Today, I recognize every American celebrating December 8 as a Holy Day honoring the faith, humility, and love of Mary, mother of Jesus and one of the greatest figures in the Bible.” [1]
• “For nearly 250 years, Mary has played a distinct role in our great American story. In 1792, less than a decade after the end of the Revolutionary War, Bishop John Carroll—the first Catholic bishop in the United States and cousin of signer of the Declaration of Independence Charles Carroll—consecrated our young nation to the mother of Christ.” [1]
• “Less than a quarter-century later, Catholics attributed General Andrew Jackson’s stunning victory over the British in the climactic Battle of New Orleans to Mary. Every year, Catholics celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving in New Orleans on January 8 in memory of Mary’s assistance in saving the city.” [1]
• “Over the ages, American legends like Elizabeth Ann Seton, Frances Xavier Cabrini, and Fulton Sheen, who spent their lives glorifying God in service to others, have held a deep devotion to Mary. The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, located in the heart of our nation’s capital, honors Mary as the largest church in North America.” [1]
• “The timeless hymn “Ave Maria” remains beloved by countless citizens. She has inspired the establishment of countless churches, hospitals, and schools. Nearly 50 American colleges and universities bear Mary’s name. And, just days from now, on December 12, Catholics in the United States and Mexico will celebrate the steadfast devotion to Mary that originated in the heart of Mexico—a place now home to the beautiful Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe—in 1531.” [1]
• “As we approach 250 years of glorious American Independence, we acknowledge and give thanks, with total gratitude, for Mary’s role in advancing peace, hope, and love in America and beyond our shores.” [1]
• “More than a century ago, in the midst of World War I, Pope Benedict XV, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, commissioned and dedicated a majestic statue of Mary, Queen of Peace, bearing the infant Christ with an olive branch so that the Christian faithful would be encouraged to look to her example of peace by praying for a stop to the horrific slaughter. Just a few months later, World War I ended.” [1]
• “Today, we look to Mary once again for inspiration and encouragement as we pray for an end to war and for a new and lasting era of peace, prosperity, and harmony in Europe and throughout the world.” [1]
• “In her honor, and on a day so special to our Catholic citizens, we remember the sacred words that have brought aid, comfort, and support to generations of American believers in times of need.” [1]
• “Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.” [1]
When Donald Trump claims that “for nearly 250 years, Mary has played a distinct role in our great American story,” he is effectively rewriting American history by inserting a Catholic narrative into a nation overwhelmingly founded by Protestants who rejected Marian devotions. While Catholics have certainly been part of America’s religious landscape, Mary has never been a central figure in the nation’s identity, governance, or civic tradition. By portraying Mary as a foundational American cornerstone, Trump is not only erasing the nation’s actual past but also conjuring a fictional history—one that suggests Catholic traditions shaped the republic when, in fact, they did not.
This reinterpretation of American history is helping to turn the United States into an image of the Roman Papacy as described in Revelation 13. Prophecy warns of a power that would rise with lamb-like qualities yet eventually speak with the voice of the dragon by uniting church and state. When national leaders extol Catholic symbols, prayers, holy days, and theological interpretations as part of America’s story, they move our nation closer to the very church-state model that Revelation 13 warns about and lay the groundwork for the coming “image of the beast.” In light of these developments, we must remain spiritually watchful, discerning the times, and firmly grounded in God’s Word as prophecy steadily unfolds before us.

Again I am motivated to reiterate, this exponential spike in Beast like Rhetoric is immediately after the eighth king, Pope Francis, went to perdition as prophesied in Revelation 17:11, yet you guys remain silent in the fulfillment of this prophecy yet again.
Satan will impersonate Pope Francis, the “stately fair person the world looks up to in reverence” (Early Writings) appearing to come from heaven to persuade the world to keep Sunday, then you and Pastor Olatunji will have squandered the greatest opportunity every offered to men to win souls.
America was founded by puritan fathers who were protestant reformers. But unfortunately ,the Jesuits masquaraded as priests came and established their own state in Maryland in the United States. The first catholic state was founded in this state, and this state was the founded the headquarters of the General conference of Seventh day Adventists silver springs( maryland). The catholics were not allowed to participate in the elections. Now , today America is no longer a protestant nation , because many Roman Catholics have dominated many top positions in the top echelons of power in the senate , congress, supreme court. Today , Roman catholics have a population of 78 million faithful, and with those figures you can clearly see protestants are gradually becoming numerically few.
Since 1960’s America voted for it’s first Roman Catholic President John F. Kennedy, but Kennedy was very loyal to the constitution of the United States of America, despite of him being devout catholic. That’s why he paid a heavy price after the Jesuits killed him for trying to stop the Vietnam war, and establishing a Central Bank of United States. But forty years later, George Bush a republican candidate for presidency pledged loyalty to Rome by declaring that he will always be faithful and obedient to Pope John Paul II. George W.Bush , even went ahead and devoted a Place in the white house mall for the Roman Catholic Bishops, during his inaugural ceremony in January 2001. So, here we clearly see two contradictions ? Democratic Presidential Candidate John F.Kennedy pledging to move from Washington D.C to Texas and said; that he will not obey the Pope. George W.Bush pledging to move from Texas to Washington D.C AND Pledges to obey the Pope.
So, my friends, the Roman Catholicism is gaining pre -eminence in the U.S , Which was considered a land of freedom, and religious liberty. We should remember America established diplomatic relations with Vatican in 1984. And President Ronald Reagan developed a close working relationship with Pope John Paul II. Both leaders worked together and dismantled the communism in Poland in eastern europe, Catholicism spread all over the country the homeland of Karoyl Wojtyla, then Pope John Paul II. Pope John Paul II, interacted well with succesive U.S Presidents such as George H.W. Bush , Bill Clinton and finally George .W.Bush. America will soon enforce the mark of the beast as predicted in the prophecy of Revelation 13:12 and unconditionally be fulfilled. Watch the events closely?
This is totally sickening. I have believed for some time that the original Trump has been replaced. This convinces me even more. I reckon we will learn the real facts when we get to open the books in heaven.
hmmmm…..interesting. I did not know that Catholics held a view on the Battle of New Orleans.
Wonder if my gtray g-g-g-g uncle had a hand in promoting that view. He was a Catholic priest there who gave the 25 year commemoration speech of the battle in the city and was a missionary to the Choctaws as well as a teacher of Choctaw children on the other side of the Ponchatrain. The elementary school in Lacombe to this day bears his Choctaw given name….hmmmm.
