LIFESITENews reports: Monday night’s opening session of the GOP National Convention, which earlier in the day had officially nominated Donald J. Trump as the party’s 2024 presidential candidate, closed out with a prayer to a god other than Jesus Christ, the genderless god of the Sikh religion.
High-profile Republican attorney Harmeet Dhillon took to the podium, covered her head, and chanted the “ardas” prayer to “Waheguru, our one true God” seeking blessing upon and protection for the candidacy of former President Trump.
Christian commentators were troubled by what they interpreted to be an affront to Catholics and Evangelical Christians who comprise the vast majority of the Party, dangerously implying that all religions are equal.
The prayer was also seen by some as a way of distancing the GOP from national conservatism, the movement that views Christianity as the best way to preserve the United States and the western world from the rising power and influence of globalist woke neo-Marxist power.
“Imagine getting on a massive cult of personality emotional high watching Trump survive assassination, convince yourself that he has some kind of mandate from heaven, and then see the RNC open with a prayer to a demon,” Ben Zeisloft, editor of the Republic Sentinel, said.
“America must turn to the Triune God. Not Allah. Not Vishnu. Not Waheguru,” Zeisloft declared in a subsequent post on X, adding, “Jesus Christ alone is Lord, King, and Judge of all the earth. We must repent and trust in him or else we must expect his righteous judgments.”
Matt Gaspers, managing editor of Catholic Family News, hit the nail on the head:
“I’m glad Abp. Listecki was invited to pray through Jesus Christ our Lord at the GOP convention, but Harmeet Dhillon was also allowed to invoke the name of a false god, giving the impression that all religions are equal. Christ is King, not Waheguru!”
“Harmeet Dhillon has done great work. She should be invited on stage to speak about that and to support President Trump,” conservative commentator Father Calvin Robinson said.
“But to invite her to pray to a pagan god, leading her prayer with ‘Waheguru, our one true God’ is entirely inappropriate,” Robinson continued. “What is worse is all the RINOs bowing their heads in prayer.”
“Christ is King,” he proclaimed.
“Whoa: 2024 is that year that associating Republicans with evangelicalism officially ends,” said Anthony Bradley, a research fellow at the Acton Institute.
“Harmeet Dhillon thanks the Chardikala spirit to close out the RNC convention,” Bradley continued. “She prayed, ‘Dear Waheguru, our one true God.’ Vance’s wife is a practicing Hindu, etc. This is the new RNC.”
