"Catholics, meanwhile, who represent about 22 per cent of the population, have generally lower levels of support for Trump; sixty per cent of white Catholics voted for Trump in 2024. Moreover, Catholics are spread around the country in crucial battleground states. And Trump’s increase in support among Latino Catholics between 2016 and 2024 is now collapsing."

"Pope Leo XIV has appointed a man who had once entered the United States as an undocumented immigrant, hidden in the trunk of a car, as the new bishop of West Virginia. The pope approved the resignation of Bishop Mark E Brennan of Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia, and selected Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, 55, of Washington to take his place, eported OSV News." ~ Marina Dunbar #PopeLeo #Trump #WhiteChristianNationalism #Catholics /7 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/01/pope-former-undocumented-immigrant-bishop-west-virginia

@wdlindsy the fact that he wasn't even able to compute that by attacking Latinos, he would collapse his catholic votes is just a mystery to me 🤦
