  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The EWTN News RealClear Opinion Research Poll shows most Catholic voters still support President Trump and key policies such as mass deportations, even as inflation emerges as a potential warning sign.

One year after the 2024 presidential election returned him to the White House, President Donald Trump remains popular among Catholic voters, whose support proved pivotal to his re-election, a new EWTN News RealClear Opinion Research Poll shows.

That backing extends to the chief flashpoint of Trump’s first year since regaining the presidency: the ongoing mass deportation of hundreds of thousands of illegal or undocumented immigrants.

That policy has sparked national protests, widespread media coverage, and strong statements of concern and condemnation from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and individual bishops. Even Pope Leo XIV has criticized it on multiple occasions, as did his predecessor, Pope Francis.

Yet a majority of Catholic voters (54%) say they support Trump’s policies calling for the detention and deportation of unauthorized immigrants on a broad scale; 30% are opposed, and 17% neither favor nor oppose.

It may not be that Donald Trump is 'popular' but that he's still seen as better by a mile or two than the failed administration he replaced.
