Denver ‘Archbishop’ Golka’s Oval Office Spectacle: Betrayal of Christ’s Kingship for Political Legitimacy
EWTN News portal reports that Denver “Archbishop” James Golka, installed in March 2026 after serving as “bishop” of Colorado Springs, led a prayer at an October 22, 2026 meeting in the Oval Office between President Donald Trump and several United States “bishops.” Golka prayed for the Holy Spirit to “surround our country, to protect us against any influence of evil,” and later defended his participation as simply “being a Catholic priest,” claiming the event was an opportunity to “evangelize” and “share our faith in season and out of season,” while denying any political endorsement. The “Archdiocese of Denver” asserted that praying for public leaders is a “long Catholic practice” dating to the Apostolic Age. This grotesque spectacle of a conciliar hierarch kneeling in the seat of temporal power to bless the very embodiment of liberal democracy exposes the total capitulation of the neo-church to the spirit of the world and its utter rejection of the Social Kingship of Christ the King.
