Walking out on a right wing speaker at a Catholic University is not exactly worthy of the intellectual tradition of the famous scholastic philosopher Thomas Aquinas.

Could what is left of the " Catholic conscience " embrace " Wall St. Hillary ", Hawk Hillary ", " Corrupt Hillary " ? Wiki Leaks has Hillary Clinton conspiring with secular ( ? ) Zionists in the DNC to " reform " the Catholic Church -even with Pope Francis leading it. Were white working class Catholics -turning toward Republican Donald Trump ( out of despair with the Hillary Democrats )- on the top of Hillary's list of " deplorables " ?

To be sure, too many Catholic politicians in America are shaped by the Cardinal Spellman school of war hawk piety. Spellman was a pillar of Cold War anti-communism and an arch enemy of the peace movement against the Vietnam War.

Spellman sent Fulton J. Sheen into exile hierarchy for going soft on the peace movement. . The TV celebrity preacher Sheen does not deserve sainthood. But good Catholics might suspect that Cardinal Spellman did not even make it to Purgatory.
