A Roman Catholic Cardinal Invokes Pope Francis During the 2024 Democratic National Convention

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is a significant political event in America, organized by the Democratic Party, and its primary function is to formally nominate the party’s candidates for president and vice president of the United States. The convention brings together delegates, party officials, and supporters from across the country to unify the Democratic Party and rally support for the general election. At the heart and center of the 2024 DNC was Rome. Rome’s representative offered prayer for our leaders and for our nation at the opening of this political event. Roman Catholic Cardinal Blase Joseph Cupich even invoked the Jesuit Pope during the handover of power for a new democratic presidential candidate for a major political party in the United States. Cardinal Cupich prayed in part: • “Let us pray. We praise you, oh God of all creation. Quicken in us a resolve to protect your handiwork. You are the source of every blessing that graces our lives and our nation. But as we pray, we must also act, for building up the common good takes work. It takes love and so we pray. May our nation become more fully a builder of peace in our wounded world with the courage to imagine and pursue a loving future together. And let this new chapter of our nation’s history be filled with overwhelming hope, a hope that refuses to narrow our national vision. But rather, as Pope Francis has said, to dream dreams and see visions of what, by your grace, our world can become. We ask all of this, trusting in your ever provident care for us, Amen“ (Video). This is significant because it is a sign that Rome’s triumph is almost complete here in America. Rome is playing both sides and has all her bases covered. They have a seat and a position of influence in both the Republican and Democratic camps, so regardless of how the elections turnout, Rome will win on election day, November 5, 2024. No matter which party takes over the presidency—Democrats or Republicans—Rome will still come out on top. The Vatican is working to regain the temporal power it lost in 1798. The stage is being set for the final act in the drama, and Rome will continue to dominate the political and religious landscape, especially here in the United States. Seventh-day Adventists have preached for decades that Rome’s deadly wound (Revelation 13:3) would be healed. We are about to see some amazing prophetic developments because not only is the Vatican attracting and influencing both the technical and religious worlds, not only is the Pope admired by politicians and business leaders, but the Bishop of Rome has access to the Office of the President of the United States. “The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones“ (Testimonies, Vol. 9, p. 11).
