With all due respect, the question is not how does Mr. Trump's rhetoric align with the beatitudes, but rather do his political beliefs align with the needs of the bishops, and thus, of the church, in the USA.  Our courageous bishops need a political leader who will fight for their freedom to practice and enforce catholicism, as they define it, and as bishops, they do define it.  Ancient teachings of morality are all well and good, but out bishops must do what is necessary to defend the church against all enemies, real or otherwise.  To that end, they have told us to support Mr. Trump.  That is the end of the question.  Remember, these great men were selected by God himself to lead the church.  Who are we to question them.  Imagine the soaring intellects and highly refined moral sense they must have, as the living heirs to Peter.
