As outrage mounts, Trump’s Catholic problem gets worse
Already struggling to attract Catholic voters, Donald Trump's recent troubles certainly haven't helped, with some Catholic leaders saying they feel they have no choice but to stick with the GOP over life issues, and others either backing away or outright abandoning the Republican nominee.

WASHINGTON - Hours before the Oct. 9 presidential debate began, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani invoked St. Augustine of Hippo on a Sunday morning political news show to defend the man he was supporting for president.
“Ever read ‘The Confessions’ of St. Augustine?” Giuliani asked John Dickerson, the host of “Face the Nation,” referring to the autobiographical book about St. Augustine’s sinful past and his subsequent conversion.
“Men can change, people can change,” Giuliani said.
Hours later, Donald Trump, the embattled Republican presidential nominee he was defending, was defiant in St. Louis during the second of three presidential debates against Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
