text: Well said, but it's a bit difficult for me as a Hillary supporter to agree that Trump "earned Democratic legitimacy" when Clinton won two million more votes than Trump did. As for the moral legitimacy of a Trump administration, well, let's just say he has far to go before he earns that, at least from me.
  
  As for American bishops, I doubt we'll be hearing much from them. As long as Trump gives them what they want in the way of Supreme Court justices, they will look the other way on a whole host of issues that are near and dear to Pope Francis' heart and utter nary a peep in the way opposition, whether it be on the subject of immigration, climate change, income inequality, war, or the refugee crisis in the Middle East. They just don't have it in them to get too excited about anything unless abortion or homosexuality are involved. They've been too attached to the notion that they are Catholics and Republicans to a nearly equal degree. I do not see that changing any time soon, alas.
