It wouldn't matter if Trump were running against the Antichrist. 

Now, to determine whether it's licit to vote for Trump, one can apply double effect

 The bolded shows you are misunderstanding double effect as it applies to voting. Of course it would matter if Trump were running against the Antichrist, and 99% of Catholics and the trad clergy know that and would tell you. But you think you know better than them, so ...

Let's begin. Let's start with the example of double effect you agreed with on the other thread, that of killing a terrorist while minimizing civilian deaths/collateral damage. The bolded is like saying, "of course I can kill a terrorist if I want to. It doesn't matter if one person dies near him, OR ONE MILLION PEOPLE DIE". That's zionist israel's reasoning and its as false as the above. Of course the number of people that die matter because that is factored into the "proportionality condition" of double effect. Let's recap double effect.

Double effect: "This set of criteria states that, if an action has foreseeable harmful effects that are practically inseparable from the good effect, it is justifiable if the following are true:

• the nature of the act is itself good, or at least morally neutral;
• the agent intends the good effect and does not intend the bad effect, either as a means to the good or as an end in itself;
• the good effect outweighs the bad effect in circuмstances sufficiently grave to justify causing the bad effect and the agent exercises due diligence to minimize the harm.[2]"

Since, as even you agreed on another thread, the good of gaining a pro life victory would sufficiently outweigh the effect of even an otherwise pro life candidate being for birth control, it clearly follows the good of supporting a moderately pro-life platform like Trump-Vance outweighs "the Antichrist" and the same applies to hαɾɾιs' pro-abort platform. I agree with you double effect is the operative principle. One doesn't need any other principle.

Very good letter and I completely agree.

Well… being the Papal Nuncio to America… it means he’s likely CIA.

Now, you may think I’m teasing, but Vigano is Opus Dei and they are CIA linked.

Think for a moment, which US spy agency had inside reports on the 1958 Conclave? 

Coincidentally, Jose (Jєω) Escriva scouted out Sr. Lucia and mocked her after his visit to her convent.

She was highly agitated in 1957, warning Catholics not to wait for the Pope on Our Lady of Fatima’s requests and then she disappeared shortly after that.

That was a CIA/Opus Dei operation.

Do you think that all this secret destruction of the Catholic Church has a counterpart?  Wouldn't God set up something counter to the bad guys per se?  Does any one think that God has?

Or has God just left us to the whims of those who hate Catholicism?

+Vigano endorses Trump, he tells Catholics "abstaining is allying with the enemy." 

So Trump is not the enemy of Catholicism? 

No he is a man living in the current world.  I don't think he is trying to bring down Catholicism.

Pro LGBtqrst? 

We live in a world where this ideology is rampant.  It didn't pop up over night and it will not go away over night.  How exactly is Trump supporting them through government?

 Pro-Israel genocide? 

The USA has supported Israel for years.  Why would this change overnight?

Pro-abortion? 

This issue currently doesn't belong to the federal government.  It is back in the hands of the states.

Isn't +Vigano grouping Catholics with the enemy and therefore an enemy, for not endorsing Trump?

Exactly who is the enemy?  I believe the enemy is Satan, and he is very good at getting people to divide.  This is just an election in the country God had us be born.  We have an obligation to our civic duty.  I think that at this point God will not condemn those who choose to abstain or those who choose to vote for Trump, because there are so many conflicting responses, and no authority to follow.

Isn't this a bullying tactic?

It might feel that way, but I am not sure he intended to be a bully.  I just think those who will vote for Trump feel like they will at least know what the next 4 years will look like.  With Kamala as president, things will probably get very anti-religious.

I know we are all tired of the slippery slope that is taking people further and further away from God, but as you have said in other posts we need to double down on prayer and penance.

I was meaning to answer, but life got busy.

Prayers for all!!!:pray:

Communist subversion agent, Yeri Bemenzov said the same thing.

He also said that subversion was a two way street. 

Constantine the Great and his father had to abide by the decrees of Diocletian during the Diocletian persecutions, but they did so as mildly as possible, condemn them? If so, there goes the early Church, over before it even begins.

This argument is the same the logic the Novus Ordo use to defend their “communion” in their hand. “Well a bunch of guys did it in their hand early era (it was condemned) so we can do it too!

Your conscience is grasping at straws so that you don’t have to convert, we convert daily, give this anxiety of your economy etc. to Our Lady, you can stop advocating for abortion now, and choose the Catholic alternative.

Yes it is, only their argument was not genuine, because of course, even in a N.O. they could receive on the tongue themselves, so if they are choosing not to of free choice, then they are not genuine, they are lying. 

You talk about conversions, but look around, you are losing more and more ground every day to the point there is the usurper Bergoglio. Am I to wait another 50 years, another 100 years? when do you reflect on yourself?

2) Our Lady prophesied what is happening in our days, and when she did, she didn’t say compromise on the Catholic faith.

You don't compromise on the faith by working toward common goals, I know life begins at conception, but something has to be done to turn this around and nobody goes to bed a sinner and wakes up a saint, not on the individual level or the societal level... I will obviously jump at any opportunity to prevent and limit this wholesale and barbaric slaughter of innocents, and in light of the alternative... what do I have to lose by trying?

Constantine the Great and his father knew the Diocletian Persecutions were wrong (St Helena), but there was nothing they could do at the time other than what they did do, which was to implement Diocletian's decrees as mildly as possible in their portion of the Empire until Constantine the Great got his chance... to spurn such graces is madness and if you do so, then you will deserve judgement IMO.
