Links for 02/15/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The network of the nones is the Democratic Party. As for the declining number of evangelicals, their do what a lot of people do - quit going to church after they leave home. The second factor is that many hard core evangelcials are dying. Its why the Florida primary in 2012 had fewere Republican voters than in 2008.
Trump's preacher as a child talked of branding and success - it was the Prosperity Gospel of his age and that he attracts believers in that heresy - which can also be called Christian Brahminism, is no surprise.
Any patina of Catholic respectability Donohue had has departed when he chose Trump over the Pope. What is in his heart that he cannot see that? His version of the prosperity gospel has to do with the religious power of the Church - and I suspect Francis is raining on his parade by not diving into abortion and contraception questions with both feet. One wonders how he would react to a Palestinian Jewish day laborer preaching about love above law?
