34 years later, I can’t help but think of how President Trump has been a champion for the Catholic community.

Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Washington D.C. recently criticized President Donald Trump for visiting to the St. John Paul II National Shrine, claiming that the shrine should have “never been used as a place for a political statement.”

President Trump visited the shrine to honor the legacy of Pope John Paul II—a pope who understood the importance of advancing religious freedoms across the globe.

President Trump’s commitment to the religious community reaches far beyond our borders.

President Trump is doing the right thing for American Catholics, and the wider religious community.
