Hale is right about the fact that Trump will probably lose.  As to the civil war in the Church, sadly there is a desire among conservative Catholics and the hierarchy for renewed religious power for the Church - but in moral/cultural affairs, not economic justice.

Trump's real beef with the system is the electoral college, which heavily favors Democrats at the moment.  The GOP represents the power of the wealthy few over the many - so of course they need to continually delegitimize any movement by the many.

Trump believes a variant of what Nixon believed, that if he says it, it has to be the truth.  Sadly, many believe him.
