Yes, Jesuit Fr. Thomas Reese, "Trump will eventually crash and burn; the tragedy is that he may seriously damage our country in the process."  And where is the American Catholic Church claiming credit for this tragedy?  Where are the American bishops now pushing people in the pews to show support for their elected president by calling their local legislators on issues the Church opposes?  

Or is it far easier for bishops to abandon and condemn this president elected on a platform of twisted truths?...far easier to disown any association with him, rather than own responsibility for and confess the sin of having "motivated" people to vote for him?

If, indeed, we should give President Trump a chance, as Pope Francis says, shouldn't we be guiding our president with our phone calls to our local legislators as to the issues we consider Catholic?  Or is it easier to watch President Trump "crash and burn" so that we can have President Pence who may prove far less malleable on these issues?
