Most white Catholics voted for Trump — and the more frequently they attend Mass, the more likely they are to be MAGA voters.

Many clergy are downright hostile toward the President, adopting what Timothy Busch of the right-wing Napa Institute calls “in-your-face Catholicism”.

MAGA Catholics should remember that the first U.S. citizen to be canonized a saint was an Italian immigrant, Mother Cabrini , “the patron saint of immigrants.” Before government-funded social services, she established hospitals, orphanages and founded 67 missionary institutions to serve the sick and poor. Fortunately or unfortunately for today ’s Church, many Catholics still prefer the Christian service vision of Mother Cabrini to the Christian politics of Leonard Leo and Judge Alito .
