Andrés Oppenheimer wrote an editorial on April 24, 2026 in which he cited multiple surveys showing that Pope Leo XIV was winning the latest controversy with President Trump.

It would be wise for Oppenheimer to read the wise words of the American writer Andrew Ferguson, who wrote an article in the November 2010 edition of “Commentary” magazine, arguing that you can find a survey that says anything you want it to say.

For example, I found a national Fox News survey, conducted between April 17 and 20, 2026, that showed that Catholics approved of President Trump’s decisions by 51 percent.

Most Catholics are grateful that President Trump is the most pro-life and pro-Catholic President of the United States in the last 53 years. President Trump ended the war against Catholics launched by the Biden Department of Justice and the FBI, pardoned pro-life activists, stopped the chemical mutilation of our children, protected parental rights, and appointed three conservative judges to the U.S. Supreme Court who played a key role in overturning the infamous Roe v. Wade decision.

Pope Leo has criticized President Trump’s military operation against the theocratic and totalitarian regime of Iran, as well as his immigration policies against illegal immigrants.

With a nuclear-armed Iran and a United States overwhelmed by illegal immigrants who refuse to swear allegiance to our founding documents and Judeo-Christian values, a ‘United States of America’ will cease to exist. A ‘Disunited States of America’ will not keep loyalty even to the Vatican.

This explains the reasons why the majority of Catholics support President Trump.
