It’s becoming increasingly important for the Pope to speak out about the twisted, bigoted, bizarro version of Catholicism that the US vice president is trying very hard to be the loudest voice of.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

"Mr. Trump’s cabinet was picked like something out of Bama rush, and, boy, does the government run like it. The president reportedly considered sizzle reels of candidates’ cable news hits; the focus was not on who was most qualified to do the job, but who managed to best dazzle dear leader."

Trahan: Between the president saying things like “let data reign” or “this is a hoax,” no one is buying that. We all lived through social media and the failure that we did not put more guardrails in place when we had the opportunity to do it, whether that’s around privacy or kids’ design.
