✣ Trump adviser provokes row with Catholics

What happened?

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign CEO has accused US Catholics of only being in favour of immigration to boost Church membership. “I understand why Catholics want as many Hispanics in this country as possible, because the Church is dying in this country if it was not for the Hispanics,” said Steve Bannon, who is reported to be Catholic himself. He had previously complained that House Speaker Paul Ryan was “rubbing his social-justice Catholicism in my nose every second”.
