The people ask Jesus for guidance in times of trial in this Sunday’s gospel. He warns them, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them!” While Donald Trump’s supporters are rejoicing in the wake of his stunning presidential victory, those who opposed him fear the nation has been misled and that a time of trial lies ahead for a sharply divided country.

“I shall not fear anyone on Earth. I shall fear only God.”

Eight in 10 self-identified white, born-again/evangelical Christians say they voted for Trump; Catholics also supported Trump over Clinton by a wide, 23-point margin, 60 percent to 37 percent.
