The president of the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) credited concern for human dignity and the economy as possible reasons why a majority of Catholics voted for the now-President-elect Donald Trump.
Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who also heads the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, on a Thursday segment of EWTN’s “The World Over with Raymond Arroyo” commented on the historic election, in which a majority of Catholics — 56% according to some exit polls — voted for Trump.
“I would think certainly our preeminent concern for the dignity of the human person is one thing that would have influenced those voters,” Broglio told Arroyo.
“I think also people are uncertain of the economy. I think that would be another factor. I think also in a very real sense, Catholics have seen what the first Trump administration did to support human life. I think maybe that would certainly be a factor that influences as well,” Broglio said.
