Now that Pope Francis has named his wokester ally, Cardinal Robert McElroy, to be chief of the Washington, D.C. archdiocese, it's pretty obvious the appointment isn't about shepherding the 667,000 Catholics of that area.

Right out the gate, McElroy made clear his appointment's real purpose: To harass President Trump from his bully pulpit.

According to Catholic News Agency:

Cardinal Robert McElroy, the new archbishop of Washington, D.C., says he wishes success for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration but that he’ll be watching closely to see how Trump deals with immigrants who are in the country without legal status.

“The Catholic Church teaches that a country has the right to control its borders. And our nation’s desire to do that is a legitimate effort,” McElroy said Monday, shortly after being introduced as Washington’s eighth archbishop during an online press conference at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle amid an unusually heavy snowstorm in the nation’s capital.

“At the same time, we are called always to have a sense of the dignity of every human person. And thus, plans which have been talked about at some levels of having a wider indiscriminate massive deportation across the country would be something that would be incompatible with Catholic doctrine. So we’ll have to see what emerges in the administration.”

That 'wishes success ... but' is precious.

He doesn't wish Trump success.

He's actually appointed himself hall monitor, his job to follow Trump around and see if Trump, a non-Catholic, adheres to Catholic doctrine as the cardinal and all his wokester friends interpret it. Given that that's conveniently leftist and supported by all leftist Democrats, let's just say he'll be judging whether Trump is sufficiently Democrat for him, while wrapping all of his pronouncements in a religious veneer.
