" the upcoming election isn't so much a plebescite on Trump as it is the conflicted makeup of the American public.”  They may have said something like that electing Hitler.  The German people were the most educated people of Europe at the time.  The world has seen what happens when the Church disengages truth from politics in a temper-tantrum approach to reality.  The Galileo affair was not as bad consequentially as ignoring the intellectual vacuity of Hitler.  The Faithful shall see what happens in the Trump case, all the while The (Pontifical) Catholic University of America administration continues under censorship for unwillingness to listen to professors who think thoughts it does not like.
