Part (2)

Fr. Pavone posted his rationale for voting for Trump on the web site LifeSite News yesterday, and Dcn. Fournier posted his today on his blog, The Stream.  Both essays are remarkable for their naivete, sophistry and hypocrisy.  The notion that Donald Trump is pro-life is preposterous on its face, but that's the least objectionable aspect of these essays.  By publicly supporting Donald Trump precisely in their roles as members of the Catholic Clergy, Fr.Pavone and Dcn. Fournier bring disgrace not only on themselves and their organizations, but also on the church.  Worse yet, by associating the pro-life movement with the fascism, racism, misogyny and xenophobia of Donald Trump, they discredit and disgrace the very cause they purport to support.  Shame on them.
