Trump’s Immaculate Conception Statement Exposes Modernist Confusion
Catholic News Agency reports on December 8, 2025, that U.S. President Donald Trump issued a statement honoring the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, calling it the first such presidential recognition. The statement references Mary’s freedom from original sin, her role in salvation history, and her significance in American religious life. However, it contains the theological error of claiming God became man at Christ’s birth rather than at the Annunciation. The article quotes several academics praising the statement as historic, while a Dominican priest corrects the Christological error.
