This article, laced with gratuitous sarcasm, is misleading at best.  It begins with a misleading and untrue statement: ..."the very group about whom the campaign team of the Democratic nominee, Secretary Hillary Clinton, concluded, 'There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church.'"  That statement about a Catholic Spring was not made by a member of Clinton's campaign team, which is clearly stated in the Post article that Kempton links to.  I don't understand the intent of NCR in publishing Kempton's article.  It does nothing to contribute to understanding why a conservative Catholic (or anyone else) would vote for Trump if the voter did not find Trump's obvious intolerance, racism, and misogyny acceptable.
