维加诺大主教这封信太及时了，说得真透彻：
1、投票支持唐纳德-川普意味着坚决与反天主教、反基督教和反人类的社会愿景保持距离。这意味着阻止那些想要创造一个比乔治-奥威尔（George Orwell）所宣布的还要糟糕的地狱般的乌托邦的人。
2、从道义上讲，弃权也是不可能的，因为在这场战争中，宣布自己中立就意味着与敌人结盟。
亲爱的美国天主教信徒们：
在这个将有数百万美国公民前往投票站的总统选举前夕，我向你们所有人致辞。
即使在相对正常的情况下，投票也是你们的道德责任，通过这种方式，你们直接参与选择未来四年将领导国家的人。但在即将到来的这轮选举中——就像2020年一样，而且情况更为严峻——你们面临的选择并非仅仅是在两个持不同政见但都关心共同利益、遵守宪法和法律的候选人之间做出选择。不，在这次选举中，你们必须在两种完全对立的治国理念之间做出选择：你们要在民主与独裁之间、在自由与奴役之间做出抉择。
一方面，我们有候选人唐纳德·J·特朗普，尽管他在某些立场上存在严重问题——特别是在堕胎和辅助生育方面——但他的目标是追求共同利益和保护公民的基本自由。在特朗普的美国，每个天主教徒都可以毫无干扰地践行信仰并以此教育子女。
另一方面，我们面对的是一个推动一切与天主教会信仰和道德直接对立的候选人和政党。在卡玛拉·哈里斯的美国，天主教徒——以及新教徒——被视为需要边缘化和消灭的原教旨主义者，他们的子女被视为国家财产，国家自诩有权从小就在身心两方面误导他们。特朗普的美国可以重新变得伟大和繁荣。哈里斯的美国注定会遭受入侵，走向道德、社会和经济的毁灭：这将是最凶残的独裁。
看看你们的国家！你们的城市已经变成了充斥着流浪者和罪犯、毒贩和瘾君子、妓女和强盗的垃圾场。你们的学校从幼儿园开始就成了灌输和腐化的温床。在你们的法庭上，罪犯被无罪释放而无辜者被监禁：新的意识形态犯罪被起诉，而非法行为却被容忍和鼓励。在你们的医院里，跨国公司称王称霸，你们则成为他们的实验品，要么被消灭，要么被制造成慢性病患者，永远做他们的客户。农民、牧场主和渔民遭到迫害，被迫破产，而土地则被无良企业夺取，变成无边无际的光伏系统和风力涡轮机，为他们的数据中心和服务器农场提供能源，在那里他们收集你们所有的数据、行踪、购物记录和政治倾向。他们甚至通过复杂的地球工程行动和毁灭性的纵火来操纵气候，以使全球变暖骗局显得可信，并强制推行绿色转型、提高能源成本，强推电动汽车和电动滑板车。这一切都建立在毫无科学依据的谎言之上，但却通过政权媒体的奴性合作得以传播，他们随时准备将任何异议者贴上阴谋论者的标签。但直到昨天还被视为阴谋论的结果，现在却被政府本身承认了。他们夺走你们的阳光；他们通过播种云层来毒害你们；他们用致命的飓风淹没你们的村庄和农田；他们用人为引发的干旱和毁灭性的火灾杀死你们的牲畜，毁坏你们的农作物。他们的目标是控制整个食品行业，迫使你们只能吃他们提供的食物。这就是《2030议程》的要求，它在没有任何投票的情况下就被联合国和世界经济论坛强加给了我们。
在拜登-哈里斯政府这灾难性的四年里，我们白宫里有一个傀儡，还有一个腐败无能的副总统，她从未停止过对选民撒谎，欺骗他们关于她的过去和未来。权力被犯罪的深层政府把持——我们现在知道他们的名字和面孔——正是他们要对你们这个伟大国家的毁灭负责。为了确保危机永无止境，新的战争场景不断出现，这些冲突实际上没有人想要，除了那些从中获取巨额利润的人，他们牺牲人命，危及国际稳定。
你们已经看到民主党人，也就是觉醒极左派，在四年内能够做出什么。想象一下，如果拜登众多的替身不再出现，而是由他的副总统通过最令人震惊和难以想象的欺诈当选，她的随行人员都是LGBTQ+部长，严格的觉醒派，出卖给中国或世界经济论坛，由乔治·索罗斯或比尔·盖茨赞助，被巴拉克·奥巴马和希拉里·克林顿操纵，他们能做出什么。到那时，亲爱的美国天主教徒们，你们不仅要去参加不同的集会——就像卡玛拉希望的那样——才能说出"基督是主"，因为说这句话将被视为仇恨言论，在堕胎诊所前祈祷将被视为恐怖主义行为。不要认为这些是遥远的假设：无论觉醒左派在哪里掌权，它都会建立起人类有史以来最邪恶、最反人类、最反基督教的独裁统治。我们知道，每次左派上台，他们都从未通过民主方式下台。
唐纳德·特朗普和卡玛拉·哈里斯：我们讨论的不是两种稍有不同但仍属于正常政治往来的愿景。不，我们讨论的是两个截然相反、不可调和的世界，其中特朗普与深层政府作战，致力于将美国从其触手般的控制中解放出来，而在对立面，我们有一个腐败和被勒索的候选人，她是深层政府的有机组成部分，是像巴拉克·奥巴马和希拉里·克林顿这样的战争贩子、像犯罪分子乔治·索罗斯和克劳斯·施瓦布这样的自封"慈善家"，或者像杰弗里·爱泼斯坦和肖恩·康布斯这样的人物手中的傀儡。他们的纲领是全球左派、世界经济论坛、洛克菲勒基金会、比尔和梅琳达·盖茨基金会的纲领，归根结底是先锋集团、贝莱德和道富银行的纲领。他们的议程是由控制人类、损害人民利益的金融寡头制定的：这个精英集团不仅在美国运作，也在加拿大、澳大利亚、欧洲和任何政治被他们的投资基金和伪装成人道主义组织的机构所劫持的地方运作，这些组织致力于消灭西方文明。
在这些人背后——现在我们应该知道——是一些献身于邪恶的人，他们因对我们的主耶稣基督和信仰他的人，主要是对天主教信徒的撒旦式仇恨而团结在一起。我们要基督统治，我们自豪地宣告：基督是王！他们想要敌基督统治，他的暴政由混乱、战争、疾病、饥荒和死亡构成。全球主义精英策划和制造的紧急状况和危机越多，这个精英就有更多借口强加新的限制、新的基本权利限制和新的社会控制。
现任"总统"乔·拜登是这个颠覆性精英的仆人，由于他本人和他的家族，首先是他的儿子亨特所犯下的丑闻和罪行，他很容易被勒索。他的"副总统"卡玛拉·哈里斯同样臣服于同一个深层政府。他们所属的民主党是困扰所有全球左派政党的觉醒意识形态的体现。
候选人唐纳德·J·特朗普，尽管确实在某些问题上持有天主教徒无法认同的严重批评立场，但对我们来说，亲爱的美国信徒们，在这个特定的历史时刻，他是唯一可能的选择，以对抗觉醒左派即将最终且不可挽回地实施的全球主义政变，这将给未来几代人带来无法估量的损害。
投票支持唐纳德·特朗普意味着坚决与反天主教、反基督教和反人类的社会愿景保持距离。这意味着阻止那些想要创造一个比乔治·奥威尔预言的更糟糕的地狱般反乌托邦的人。这也意味着——不要忘记——给予他我们的信任票，这样特朗普总统就知道，将他重新带回白宫的天主教徒和基督徒的大量选票必须成为更坚定地致力于从受孕到自然死亡保护生命、保护传统家庭、保护父母教育子女的权利，以及保护基督教信仰和国家文化认同的前提。
我重申：这是在一个与深层政府斗争并为此付出生命代价的保守派总统，和一个服从撒旦的地狱怪物之间的选择。对一个天主教徒来说，这是毋庸置疑的：投票支持卡玛拉·哈里斯在道德上是不可接受的，构成极其严重的罪过。在道德上也不可能弃权，因为在这场战争中，宣称中立就意味着与敌人结盟。
世界各地的人们开始理解笼罩在他们和他们子女未来之上的威胁，你们美国人也已经明白了这一点。但即使这次深层政府将更难重复2020年的欺诈，你们也不要认为它会轻易认输。因此，让我们准备防止可能的袭击和内战场景被用来强加戒严令和新的限制，就像特朗普总统神奇地逃脱的暗杀企图一样。
但是，亲爱的信徒们，让我们不要忘记，仅凭人类的力量在这种地狱般的力量展示面前是无能为力的。我们宣告基督是王——这意味着我们的主必须重新统治，使他统治的首要方式是服从他的圣律，活在他的恩典中。让基督统治你们的心灵、你们的家庭、你们的社区和整个美利坚合众国：这是你们国家实现和平、和谐与繁荣的唯一途径。
想想你们在美国有多少天主教徒！毫不犹豫地投票，并祈祷我们的主将启迪美国公民做出选择，使胜利属于那些至少不介意宣告基督是主的人。
愿上帝保佑你们所有人，愿瓜达卢佩圣母——她是美国和全美洲的守护神——和圣米迦勒大天使保护你们。

英文原文：
Dear Faithful American Catholics,
I am addressing all of you, a few days before the Presidential Election that will call millions of American citizens to the polls.
Even in conditions of relative normality, the exercise of the vote is your moral duty, through which you cooperate in the first person in choosing the person who will lead the Nation for the next four years. But in this coming electoral round – just as in 2020 and indeed much more so – you are not simply called to choose between two candidates who happen to be on different political sides but who both nevertheless have the common good at heart in compliance with the Constitution and the Law. No; in this election you must choose between two radically opposed ways of conceiving the government of your Nation: you are called to choose between democracy and dictatorship, between freedom and slavery.
On one side we have candidate Donald J. Trump, who, despite serious problems in his positions – especially in the matter of abortion and assisted procreation – has as his objective the common good and the protection of the fundamental freedoms of citizens. In Donald Trump’s America, every Catholic can practice their Faith and educate their children in it without interference from the State.
On the other side we have a candidate and a party that promotes everything that directly opposes the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church. In Kamala Harris’ America, Catholics – but also Protestants – are considered fundamentalists to be marginalized and eliminated, and their children are considered the property of the State, which arrogates to itself the right to lead them astray from an early age in both body and soul. Trump’s America can become great and prosperous again. Harris’ America is destined for invasion and for moral, social, and economic destruction: the most ferocious dictatorship.
Look at your country! Your cities have become dumps filled with derelicts and criminals, drug dealers and addicts, prostitutes and robbers. Your schools are dens of indoctrination and corruption from kindergarten onwards. In your courts, criminals are acquitted and innocents are imprisoned: new ideological crimes are prosecuted, while illegality is tolerated and encouraged. In your hospitals, multinational corporations rule, and you are their guinea pigs to be exterminated or made chronically ill so that you will be their perpetual clients. Farmers, ranchers, and fishermen are persecuted and forced to fail, while the land is grabbed by unscrupulous corporations who transform it into endless photovoltaic systems and wind turbines to power their data centers and server farms where they collect all your data, your movements, your purchases, and your political preferences. They have gone so far as to tamper with the climate by means of sophisticated geoengineering operations and devastating arson in order to make the global warming fraud credible and impose the green transition, the increase in the cost of energy, and electric cars and scooters. And all this is done based on evidence that consists of lies without any scientific proof, but which are propagated through the servile collaboration of the regime media, ever ready to label any dissenters as conspiracy theorists. But what until yesterday was dismissed as the result of conspiracy theories is now admitted by the government itself. They take away your sunlight; they poison you by seeding the clouds; they overwhelm your villages and your fields with deadly hurricanes; they kill your livestock and dry up your crops with induced droughts and devastating fires. They aim to control the entire food sector, to force you to eat only what they make available to you. This is what the Agenda 2030 calls for, which has been imposed without any vote by the United Nations and the World Economic Forum.
In these four disastrous years of the Biden-Harris administration, we have had a puppet in the White House and a corrupt and incompetent Vice President who has never stopped lying and deceiving voters about her past and her future. Power is managed by the criminal deep state – whose names and faces we now know – that is responsible for the destruction of your great Nation. And to ensure that the crisis is endless, new war scenarios are continually opening up, in conflicts that no one actually wants, except for those who make enormous profits from them, sacrificing human lives and compromising international stability.
You have seen what the Democrats, that is, the woke far Left, have been capable of in four years. Imagine what they will be able to do if, instead of Biden’s numerous stand-ins, his Vice President is elected – in the most scandalous and unimaginable fraud – with her entourage of LGBTQ+ Ministers, rigorously woke, sold out to China or the World Economic Forum, sponsored by George Soros or Bill Gates, manipulated by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. At that point, dear American Catholics, you will not only have to go to a different rally – as Kamala would like – in order to say “Christ is the Lord”, because saying that will be considered hate speech, and praying in front of an abortion clinic an act of terrorism. Do not think that these are remote hypotheses: wherever the woke Left takes power, it establishes the most vicious, anti-human, and anti-Christian dictatorship that humanity has ever known. And we know that every time the Left has come to power, it has never left through democratic means.
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris: we are not talking about two visions that are a bit different but still part of the normal political back-and-forth. No; we are talking about two diametrically opposed and irreconcilable worlds, in which Trump fights against the deep state and is committed to freeing America from its tentacled grip, while on the opposite side we have a corrupt and blackmailed candidate, an organic part of the deep state, who acts as a puppet in the hands of warmongers like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, of self-proclaimed “philanthropists” like the criminals George Soros and Klaus Schwab, or of characters like Jeffrey Epstein and Sean Combs. Their program is that of the Global Left, the World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and ultimately the program of Vanguard, BlackRock, and StateStreet. Their agenda is dictated by the financial oligarchy that controls humanity to the detriment of the people: an elite that operates not only in the United States but also in Canada, Australia, Europe, and wherever politics is held hostage by their investment funds and their pseudo-humanitarian organizations dedicated to the obliteration of Western Civilization.
Behind these people – by now we should know this – are people devoted to evil, united by the satanic hatred against Our Lord Jesus Christ and those who believe in Him, mainly against the Catholic faithful. We want Christ to reign, and we proclaim it with pride: Christ is King! They want the Antichrist to reign, whose tyranny is made of chaos, war, disease, famine, and death. And the more emergencies and crises planned and created by the globalist elite increase, the more that elite has a pretext to impose new limitations, new restrictions of fundamental rights, and new social controls.
Joe Biden, the current “President,” is a servant of this subversive elite and widely blackmailable for the scandals and crimes committed by himself personally and also by his family, beginning with his son Hunter. His “Vice President,” Kamala Harris, is equally subservient to the same deep state. And the Democratic Party, to which they both belong, is the expression of the woke ideology that plagues all the parties of the global Left.
Candidate Donald J. Trump, while certainly taking some serious critical positions that a Catholic cannot agree with, represents for us, dear American faithful, in this specific historical moment, the only possible choice to counter the globalist coup that the woke Left is about to implement definitively, irreparably, and with incalculable damage for future generations.
Voting for Donald Trump means firmly distancing ourselves from an anti-Catholic, anti-Christian and anti-human vision of society. It means stopping those who want to create a hellish dystopia that is even worse than the one announced by George Orwell. And it also means – do not forget – giving him our vote of confidence, so that President Trump knows that the massive vote of Catholics and Christians that brought him back to the White House must become the premise for a more incisive commitment to the defense of life from conception to natural death, the traditional family, the right of parents to educate their children, and to the defense of the Christian Faith and the cultural identity of the Nation.
I repeat: the choice is between a conservative President, who is paying with his very life for his fight against the deep state, and an infernal monster who obeys Satan. For a Catholic, there can be no question: voting for Kamala Harris is morally inadmissible and constitutes a very grave sin. Nor is it morally possible to abstain, because in this war declaring oneself neutral means allying oneself with the enemy.
People around the world are beginning to understand the threat that looms over them and their children’s future, and you Americans have understood it too. But even if this time it will be more difficult for the deep state to repeat the fraud of 2020, you must not think that it will resign itself to defeat so easily. Let us therefore prepare to prevent possible attacks and civil war scenarios from being used to impose martial law and new restrictions, after the attempts on his life from which President Trump providentially escaped.
But let us not forget, dear Faithful, that human energies alone are powerless in the face of this infernal display of forces. We proclaim that Christ is King – this means that Our Lord must return to reign, and the first way to make Him reign is by obeying His holy Law and living in His Grace. Let Christ reign in your hearts, in your families, in your communities, and throughout the entire United States of America: this is the only way to peace, harmony, and prosperity for your Nation.
Think of how many of you Catholics there are in the United States! Vote without hesitation, and pray that Our Lord will enlighten American citizens in making their choice and grant victory to those who, at least, have no problem proclaiming that Christ is Lord.
May God bless you all, and may the Virgin of Guadalupe, she who is the Patroness of the United States and all the Americas, and Saint Michael the Archangel, protect you.
