TRUMP CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCES CATHOLIC ADVISORY GROUP

NEW YORK, NY - Today, the Donald J. Trump campaign announced a new group convened to provide advisory support to Mr. Trump on those issues and policies important to Catholics and other people of faith in America.

The Catholic Advisory Group is a key element of the Faith and Cultural Advisory Committee to the campaign. And Mr. Joseph Cella, Founder of the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, will serve as the Catholic Liaison for the members and the campaign.

The formation of this group represents Donald J. Trump’s endorsement of a range of issues and policies important to Catholics and other Christians, and his desire to have access to the wise counsel of such leaders.

“On the issues and policies of greatest concern to Catholics, Donald Trump will fight for Catholics whereas Hillary Clinton is openly hostile to those issue of greatest concern to Catholics and will attack the core teachings of the Catholic Church, and has worked against them as First Lady, as US Senator and as Secretary of State, and would continue to do so if she is elected President,” said Congressman Sean Duffy.

“Catholics are particularly concerned that she would pack the Supreme Court with 3-5 young ideological liberals whose decisions will have far reaching and long lasting implication for the Catholic Church and the lay faithful on everything from the pro-life issue, to religious liberty to health care and educational mandates, just to name a few,” Duffy concluded.

“America is on the wrong track, as economic opportunities wane and families face a coarsened society where people of faith feel bullied, disrespected and marginalized. We have slipped so far, so fast, at a pace quickened by our failure to uphold the dignity of unborn life,” said Matt Schlapp, Chairman of the American Conservative Union. “There are moments when people of deep faith have to stand up. Voters who know deep in their soul that America needs to heal also know we need refreshing, bold conservative leadership. 2016 is one of those times and I’m proud to support Donald Trump for President.”

Trads in the public sector tend to not be in US politics. Rick Santorum might be the closest we have, but most of the politically-involved Traditionalist Catholics are actually French.

In reality, this novus ordo Catholic advisory group views us as radical haters.
I don't see too many blue collar Catholics in this group either.

Good question. Why aren't there any Traditional Catholics on the Catholic advisory group?

So, none of those people listed are traditional Catholics?
( Tim kaine called himself a traditional Catholic).

Isn't he Latin Novus (dis)Ordo, like Scalia was?

Someone on another forum claimed "Austin Ruse, President, Center for Family and Human Rights" is traditional.

I was disappointed that rick Santorum wanted his picture
Taken with Modern Family actor which portrays gαy character.
The actor refused to take picture with Santorum.

Santorum spoke at Masonic temples when he visited my state during the last election cycle.
