Steve Bannon, Donald Trump's new campaign CEO, previously accused Catholics of supporting Hispanic immigration to prop up the church's numbers on his radio program in the spring.

"I understand why Catholics want as many Hispanics in this country as possible, because the church is dying in this country, right? If it was not for the Hispanics," Bannon told Robert P. George, a Princeton law professor who, along with dozens of other leaders, wrote an open letter to fellow Catholics denouncing Trump.
"I get that, right? But I think that is the subtext of part of the letter, and I think that is the subtext of a lot of the political direction of this."

The Hill first reported on Bannon's March 8 comments Monday. Bannon railed against House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and said he was "rubbing his social-justice Catholicism in my nose every second."

Deeply troubling.

[Trump/Trumplet]'s history of anti-[group of people that aren't in the plurality] rhetoric. Just another day.

Bannon et al. would genuinely fit well in the KKK

Probably already is a member.

And Trump is the WASP's ubermensch.

I've never seen a national campaign so intent on losing Wisconsin.

I don't think the first quote, at least, is particularly anti-Catholic.

[Santander]

How is this anti-Catholic?

Double digits, locked in. The WI county map will look a lot like 2008, I bet.

How is this anti-Catholic?

Yeah I don't get it either. As for the second one, how is it any different than saying "I'm so sick of Mike Pence rubbing his social conservative evangelicalism in my nose every second"?

I mean, it's definitely a little disconcerting that this guy is so off-the-reservation hard-right that he considers Paul Ryan an avatar of bleeding-heart Catholic social teaching, even if Ryan has disavowed Randianism in recent years.

I'm a very very very devout Catholic, I don't find this offensive at all.

Yeah, but you're also kind of a moron.

I have no doubt you think you are more Catholic than the Pope
