As always, Fr. Reese states the facts as they are. Very clear and precise and devoid of partisan politics. Maybe MSW should take a few lessons from the seasoned Jesuit priest. 

The only fact he left out, however, was that Trump garnered more Catholic support than previous Republican candidates and in this year won more Catholics than Clinton. An important fact that he should have included. Also he failed to cite that many of these Rust Belt states traditionally have always voted Democrat but decided this year to vote for Trump, and within these states are large concentration of blue collar Catholics. Further more, we don't pay attention to what bishops say. We just don't, but we do listen to our neighbors and family members who felt Trump would bring jobs back to the United States. The Democrats are no longer believable because they are controlled by the special interest. Trump, for better or worse, is his own man and this is why he won.
