Cardinal Raymond Burke has said Donald Trump’s election Tuesday is a sign that the United States’ political leaders need to listen more to the people and return to safeguarding life, marriage, the family and religious liberty.

Why not? We got rid of a president who put Americans last, why can’t we work towards getting rid of a pope who puts Christians last? He is presiding over a Middle Eastern holocaust that exceeds the Jewish holocaust during WWII.

.....United States’ political leaders need to listen more to the people and return to safeguarding life, marriage, the family and religious liberty.

The Democrats could never come close to achieving these objectives. Trump touched all bases as he hit a "Catholic" home run.
