Why Christian Republicans insist Donald Trump is a good Christian | National Catholic Reporter by Millenium. MGB: Protestants for Trump should have no trouble identifying with him religiously - or at least those who believe that wealth is a sign of God's favor, as the believer's in the prosperity gospel agree. To them, Trump is probably a prophet, rather than a profit.
As for the Catholics, the partisanship analysis seems to be correct - especially for those who identify with abortion as the single most important issue (even though, because there are no real viable active proposals - the one that the movement counted on - overturning Roe - died with Scalia) - and that includes many bishops and clergy.
If they were more Catholic about their pro-life sentiments (and sentimentalism is what it is), they would be all for huge refundable increases in the child tax credit - which Cruz does favor - although not nearly by enough. Trump would never go there. He relies on keeping low wage workers hungry - an adequate salary by any means gives his enterprises huge payroll problems.
