— and to face what the facts tell us about those who have most institutional and economic power in the Catholic church in the US and their role in bringing the nightmare of MAGA to us.

White Catholics wield enormous disproportionate influence in the Trump regime and on the Supreme Court.

There are those who claim that adverting to these facts is racist.
It's precisely the opposite of racist to do so —

White Catholics do not represent the entire US Catholic church by any means. Catholics of color do not dance to the white Catholic tune.

However: institutional and economic power in the US Catholic church is solidly in the hands of white Catholics. A majority of the US Catholic bishops are white Catholics.

So why do some commentators (I'm included) focus on the fact that white Catholics have voted three times in a majority for Trump, and along with white evangelicals, are the only religious group continuing to support the cruelty of the ethnic cleansing agenda of the Trump regime?

PRRI reported this week that white evangelicals and white Catholics stand out from all other religious groups in their support for Trump and Stephen Miller's cruel ethnic cleansing program with mass deportation of immigrants and mass incarceration of immigrants in holding camps.

"All of this suggests Republicans’ reputation for being ‘tough on immigration’ has become (outside the MAGA cult) ‘scary, chaotic, cruel, and ineffective on immigration.’ That suggests Democrats should not be shy about stepping into the leadership vacuum on a number of fronts."

"An enormous survey of nearly 5500 Americans (with a margin of error of only +/- 1.49%) from PRRI shows the extent of Americans’ distaste for mass deportation.

Trump personally has lost the country. Overall, his approval is at a measly 36 percent (with only 28 percent from independents)."

"No issue more defined Donald Trump’s presidential campaigns and two terms than promises surrounding illegal immigration, and no sentiment more defined the MAGA movement than vitriolic xenophobia. Getting a close look at what that means to most people seems to have repulsed Americans, thereby breaking Republicans’ grip on the issue."
