text: I have been a faithful Catholic all of my life,  I am deeply hurt by the way so many catholic bishops and priests encouraged their parishoners to vote the Republican ticket citing abortion as the main reason,  It seems that no thought was given to the racist, sexist, demeaning comments that Donald Trump and his
  surrogates made throughout the campaign.  Hate and bigotry were hallmarks of the Republican platform and I fear it will be that way for the next four years.   I don't think the Catholic Magisterium in the United States really cares about the poor or minorities.  If it wasn't for my strong belief in the "real presence" of Christ in the Eucharist, I would leave the Catholic Church!
