Catholic Cardinal: Don’t Judge Trump Hastily; People Were Initially Doubtful About Reagan
(CNSNews.com) – The archbishop of Vienna, a forthright cardinal sometimes tipped as a possible future pope, has cautioned against judging President-elect Donald Trump hastily, recalling that people were skeptical about President Ronald Reagan at the outset, too.
In a wide ranging New Year interview (in German [1]) with Austria’s Kronen Zeitung daily, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn also mused on terrorism in the name of religion, the Islamization of Europe, and competition between faiths.
Asked his views about Trump’s victory in last November’s election, Schönborn said, “I don’t know whether Mrs. [Hillary] Clinton would really have been the better solution, and I don’t know whether Mr. Trump is the great calamity.”
