Thursday August 6th Meeting #743
Is Donald Trump a Narcissist, a Sociopath, a Psychopath
or Something Else?
Dr. Daniel Herlihy, a Catholic Physician, trained to evaluate claims of demonic influence, will discuss the distinctions where a sociopath is an informal term for someone exhibiting traits of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), characterized by a lack of empathy, disregard for social norms, and manipulative or impulsive behavior. He points out that researchers define a "psychopath" as someone who consistently exhibits callous and unemotional behavior. People with psychopathy often lack empathy, shame, and remorse, which can lead them to violate others' rights and well-being. They may resort to lying, cheating, or stealing to achieve their goals. Daniel also examines what Mary Trump reveals about her exalted relative. He concludes that Donald Trump is antisocial, narcissistic, lacks empathy, can display charm, but is unremorseful, impulsive, manipulative, egotistical, believes he is “special”, is fearless, unconcerned about consequences of his actions, demonstrates an inability to form beyond transactional relationships, holds above average intelligence, yet lacks in judgement, such as going to war in violation of International Law.

Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.

While the Catholic Church considers that demons are fallen spiritual intelligence capable of influencing human beings, and while possession is extraordinarily uncommon, lesser forms of oppression or obsession can manifest in ways that mimic psychiatric illness. Daniel contends that his role is not to declare supernatural causes lightly, but to recognize when a case falls outside the boundaries of medicine and requires the Church’s spiritual authority, He concludes that in these moments, the reality of demons is not treated as a myth, but as a theological possibility supported by centuries of documented cases, and his duty becomes helping the patient navigate both scientific treatment and spiritual liberation with caution, humility, and respect for the mystery of the human person.
