Weigel sustains intellectual whiplash under Francis' pontificate

First of all, anything Weigel says or writes is not news. Second, he is a reactionary looking with nostalgia at the time of St. John Paul (when he got more attention). They also defend the capitalist status quo against all things liberal, especially Pope Francis. He may or may not be neoconservative.  Neoconservatives are reformed liberals who now favor a muscular foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly in support of Israel. You can find them in The National Review and Peter Berkowitz of Real Clear Politics. Michael Sean Winters quotes them approvingly and, in fact, is one. Finally, the reason for anti-American rhetoric, both in Rome and elsewhere in the world is Donald J. Trump. I could list all the ways he is a dangerous moron, but by now only his reactionary sycophants would argue the point.
