text: NCR had an editorial stance long before this sad election became its main occupation and no NCR staff member or writer has labeled "half the nation" (less, actually) as you describe. They're simply concerned about the election of Trump, as anybody who purports to seek to follow the Gospel should be.
  
  I'm not curious in the least about why Catholics voted for Trump. I have no doubt at all that, as I stated earlier, they were actually voting against Clinton. With the encouragement of the bishops, they chose to pay a pretty high price to keep her out of office. Time will tell just how high it was.
