Michael Matt with that hidden manna no one knows about!
Trump's not merely soft on LGBT, he is absolutely pro-LGBT.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1296305484279021570It is Trump's "great honor" to be named the "most pro-gαy President ever."
But then how could we Catholic never-Trumpers ever hold Trump to a higher standard? 'If the Pope is Francis, then we have no reason to expect Trump to know what is right', 'Trump has done more than Francis for Pro-life', etc... Well if Trump had a bare minimum handle on the natural law, which doesn't strictly rely on supernatural graces, these "gaps" in his GOP platform wouldn't exist.
So now if Trump isn't hearing it from the Church's hierarchy, why can't he hear it from the voter base? If all we can do is cover his major failings with "he's not as bad as-(fill in the blank)" we're not helping him as a person, and we're not advancing the cause of the Catholic Church in society.
I gotta say these amazing points of his might just help me argue the bottle out of the brown paper bag.
