Four years ago, just prior to the November election, I wrote an article titled “Hillary Should Have a ‘Catholic Problem. ” I started by citing numerous articles in the national press that proclaimed Donald Trump was having difficulty winning over Catholics a key voting bloc in any candidate’s run for the presidency.
