"American Catholics have long been a redoubt of conservatism (and even right-wing extremism) in a Church whose leadership in Rome has been moving markedly to the left. Trump, therefore, must have been blindsided when the church’s American bishops roundly denounced The Donald for dissing the Pope in the wake of Trump’s Messiah moment."
