Going after Trump's wife is pretty low, OS2. 

You're missing the point -- a very liberal pontiff has welcomed a twice divorced Presbyterian, his Catholic wife and their Jewish son-in-law.

As well as he welcomed muslims.  All to be seen as inclusive, bridging gaps and worldly agendas.  One should not dwell on what a pope does.

But I find it odd that despite his liberal embrace of the Trumps, Francis has reportedly denied that he was a Liberal.

Well he is, denial or not.  But that's okay; he's just a man.  And Evangelicals are not concerned with him.

I don't know if she is or not but the decrees about divorce etc. come from the RCC.

I already know what decrees come out of the RCC because I am RC.

I found it revealing that Pope Francis was seen blessing Melania's rosary beads despite the fact she married a twice-divorced non-Catholic. Only a liberal cleric would do that, yet many on Worthy complain about the Pope's leftist politics.

Im confused, we would have a problem with a liberal cleric doing what only a liberal cleric would do?

The real issue is not if Donald Trump and Melania's marriage is valid in the eyes of the Catholic Church. It is how their marriage is in the eyes of God.

well, unless someone can find any way to show that its not, which to date, none has been presented, then there is no issue. Right now I see one man with one woman....was Trump married and divorced before, certainly! but so are are many others, and in the end we follow a God who teaches grace and forgiveness. Its not our past mistakes that define us, but what we do right now, and right now, as far as I can tell Trump and Melania are indeed honoring their marriage vows, and I don't see how anyone can hold that against them.

The Roman Catholic "church" doesn't have the power to validate or invalidate marriage.

The RCC claims such powers among Catholics and can annul a marriage for "lack of canonical form."
