Conservative US Catholics take stand against Trump

Wiki image

A group of conservative US Catholics is appealing to their fellow believers to stop Donald Trump from becoming Republican presidential nominee, writing that he is "manifestly unfit to be president of the United States."

The statement, published yesterday in The National Review, entitled: 'An Appeal to Our Fellow Catholics' was co-written by Princeton professor Robert P George and author George Weigel, and is co-signed by about 36 prominent lay Catholics.

They write: "Donald Trump is manifestly unfit to be president of the United States. His campaign has already driven our politics down to new levels of vulgarity. His appeals to racial and ethnic fears and prejudice are offensive to any genuinely Catholic sensibility."
