Looking back at American History since the end of WW II, one can easily see that conservatives need an enemy to hate.  First it was communism.  But now that the threat from communism has been greatly reduced.  The conservatives needed a new enemy to hate.  On 111 Sep 2001, they were given one.  ISLAM.

MSW is very correct in his assessment that if the Catholic Clergy was more in tune with the totality of Catholic Social Justice teaching, they would have been opposed to Trump from the moment that he announced his campaign with nativist leanings.  But they didn't.

Now, even though the hour is late, those clergy must step up and indicate that they now oppose what Trump stands for.  They should, but by their opposition to Trump will, show that their prior positions were illconceived.
