When it comes to Trump and his cronies and their religious affiliations, "devout" is a rather fluid term. Bannon, his token Catholic, has been married three times. But moving on...

I agree that the bishops showed their usual lack of spine during the campaign. They don't mind offending us regular folk, but they dare not say anything that will upset the episcopal fraternity. I'm sure there were some priests here and there speaking out against Trump's less humanitarian policies, but those voices were drowned out by the overwhelming majority of bishops spouting the party line.

One of the few good things that might come from this election (maybe the only one) is that the ridiculous notion of voting based on a candidate's personal character has been blasted to hell. The USCCB has thrown in with an undeniable moral train-wreck solely for policy reasons, and there's no pulling back from that going forward.
