The ending:

Conservative Catholics who feel emboldened in the Trump era will continue to strategize and look for political openings. But along the way they risk being relegated to cheerleaders for the administration if they downplay or ignore how poverty, the environment and the command to welcome migrants are central to traditional church teachings. Perhaps looking to Pope Francis, rather than Donald Trump, would be a good place to start.


I know many who talk of being pro-life, when what they demonstrate is that they are pro-fetus. A consistent pro-life position, in my view, must embrace all of a life, not simply the birth.
