text: American Catholics helped to elect a man who wouldn't be able to pass a background check to sell milk in a school cafeteria because they wanted to believe him when he said he was pro-life. They deliberately looked the other way when it was obvious that his own words and actions and the testimony of those who have been used and abused by him showed him to be completely out of sync with the teachings of the church.  They're like women who marry an abuser convinced that marriage will change him, only to find out that the abuse becomes worse.  Why are they surprised that the presidency has not changed this meglomaniac?
