I've met Fr. Rutler...he is a devout, pious man. Witness his article about Trump's Warsaw speech. Solid. Fr. Rutler would NOT just "hand out" blessings to any old pol.
Further to your point, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a number of unreported attempts to derail Pres. Trump (both mortal and strategic) that are, well, handled Divinely, shall we say. I truly, truly, believe we're seeing something different this time around.
I think these prayer meetings in the WH are THE most important thing going on right now, and Mulehead doesn’t have a chance as long as these continue.
The AL football team, for example, was awesome.
