@JosephMeyer Yes, in three elections, the white Catholic vote for Trump has approached 60%. This tells us much about the abysmal failure of moral and pastoral leadership of the US Catholic bishops for some years now.

@wdlindsy @JosephMeyer the Catholic Church jumped the shark in the US decades ago. The only ones left are religious zealots that care about abortion and other peoples’ genitals.
