I wish to retract the comment wherein I praised this person for his spiritual wisdom when writing about polarization in the church. 
     This is dumb, brainwashed hype. The NCR has "deplorables" on it staff, and religious are included-Fr. Reese. 
     It is a blessing in disguise that Trump got elected-first, because it allows one to see what the so-called "common man" is like, and also because it gives the dross a chance to surface in the Church, to the end that one is no longer deceived by the illusion of religiosity projected by some. 
    It is a time of sifting. If we learn the lesson from having elected him, it will be for the best. As it is, to find the illusions stripped from the self-righteous Christians that rule in the Church and in the world is wisdom worth many times its proverbial weight in gold. 
   Books are being written today about the decay and collapse of organised religion, particularly Christianity and how this too, is a blessing in disguise.
