I am a proud American always, because America transcends whoever is in the Executive, Legislative, or Judicial branches. Even when Reagan or Trump were President, my love of or fidelity for country didn't hinge on them.
The Catholic Church is similar. Just because this Pope or that Cardinal or that layperson or this priest says whatever, that doesn't change the Church that Jesus built. Men are men, and disposed to the evils that men can do. But Jesus and the Church Trimuphant remain as my Guide.
So I'm an American and a Catholic, even if the two current respective executives leave much to be desired.
Well....it's a bit like some people being ashamed to say they're an America when some loser like the current President* is in the WH.
