Does anyone have any insight as to how American Catholics reconcile Hillary with their religious faith?

I get the impression when American Catholics are polled it is including people who don't really ever show up to Church. I have a family member who does not go to Church but is Catholic and so would be included as a Catholic in large numbers of surveys.

I have several friends who routinely ask "How can one vote for Trump in light of Catholic Social Doctrine?" When asked what parts of Catholic Social Doctrine present a problem with voting for Trump, it comes down to 2: racism and immigration.

I have watched people make more money off throwing around false accusations of racism than Clinton made off selling national security down the river. As for the latter, the Catholic Church typically presents immigration as "We must let immigrants in otherwise we are not being kind to our neighbor." They frequently ignore the large quantities of people here who are suffering without jobs and could claim to be competing (and losing) for jobs with immigrants.

They are idolaters. They place their faith in the Democrat party. They have NO CLUE what making an act of faith in the Church’s teaching authority is. Their LOCAL PARISH is the Church. They hold that “priests have no business talking about politics.” Priests should talk only about turkey dinners, golden candlesticks (if new ones are needed), and such things.

They have absolutely no interest in abortion because it can’t happen to them. I have known many DAILY COMMUNICANTS who have never voted for ANY politician who wasn’t a Democrat. They think there are only a few hundred abortions in the U.S. year, and that nothing can be done about it, and the bishops MAKE TOO BIG AN ISSUE out of abortion.

In other words, they are $%@t-for-brains.

Our entire Catholic family supports Trump. We had the typical political discussion at the family reunion. No doubt, whatsoever, that Trump gets the vote among the voters in our largely Catholic clan.

Simple. Their "religious faith" is not the Catholic Faith. But then again the religious faith of the American Catholic hierarchy is not the Catholic Faith.
