Summary:

The 2016 presidential election was unlike any other in American history. Polls tell us that millions of American Catholics who care about moral issues and who descended from immigrants supported Donald Trump. Why didn't Trump's rhetoric on immigration and his promises to close the borders trouble more American Catholics? Steven P. Millies uncovers the history of how and why the so-called "Catholic vote" went the way it did in 2016 and offers some practical reflections on ways to put Catholic faith to better use in American politics.
