Fr. Rutler is not just some average priest. He is one of the best homilists I've ever heard in the Catholic Church, a very pious man, a wonderful confessor, and not someone who will lob in softballs. I would NOT be surprised if this had some impact on President Trump, and it could have solidified his trust in Bannon as well. Indeed, it's worth nothing that Fr. Rutler released an an awesome piece on Trump's Warsaw speech.

Wondering about bolded, is Bannon Catholic? I know Melania is. BTW I like your speculations and they sound logical and likely.

Yes, indeed Bannon reportedly made rounds in 2014 in the Vatican with several conservative reps, including Cardinal Burke.

I would encourage you to read a few stories on this topic, which personally helps explain quite a lot of what I'm seeing in this White House.
