Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Dec 11, 2025 / 12:30 pm (CNA).

A majority of Catholic voters in the United States have a favorable opinion of President Donald Trump and support the broad scale deportation of immigrants who are in the country illegally, according to a poll published by EWTN News and RealClear Opinion Research on Dec. 11.

The poll surveyed 1,000 self-identified Catholics from Nov. 9 through Nov. 11, nearly 10 months after Trump assumed office. Trump won the Catholic vote in the 2024 election last year, and one of his campaign promises was mass deportations — a policy strongly opposed by the country’s Catholic bishops.

With Trump administration deportation efforts underway, the poll revealed some tension between the public stance of the country’s Catholic bishops and the views held by the faithful. Among Catholics, support for large-scale deportations is even higher than their overall support for Trump.

About 54% of Catholic voters said they support “the detention and deportation of unauthorized immigrants on a broad scale.” Only 30% said they oppose this policy, and 17% neither support nor oppose it.

Among white Catholics, 60% support broad-scale deportations and only 26% oppose it. Among Latino Catholics, 41% support it and 39% oppose it.

For Catholics who attend Mass at least weekly, 58% support broad-scale deportations, and only 23% are against it. For those who attend Mass less frequently, 50% support the deportations and 36% oppose it.

Catholics who attend Mass regularly were more likely to have a favorable opinion of Trump and more likely to support deportations. White Catholics were also more likely than Latino Catholics to support Trump and the deportations.

According to the poll, about 52% of Catholic voters say they have a favorable opinion of Trump, compared to 37% who say they have an unfavorable opinion and 11% who say they are neutral.

Among white Catholics, 58% have a favorable opinion of Trump and 34.5% have an unfavorable view of him. Latino Catholics were nearly evenly split, with 41% holding a favorable opinion and 40% holding an unfavorable opinion.

More than 60% of Catholics who attend Mass at least once per week said they have a favorable opinion of the president, compared to 30% who had an unfavorable opinion.

Among Catholics who attend Mass less frequently, about 45% have a favorable view of Trump and 42% have an unfavorable view.

Reacting to the results, White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers told CNA that Trump “won in a landslide victory with historic support from patriotic Catholics across the country because he promised to fight for people of faith, and he has delivered in record time.”

“President Trump launched a task force to eliminate anti-Christian bias, pardoned Christian and pro-life activists, enforced the Hyde Amendment, defunded Planned Parenthood, stopped the chemical mutilation of our nation’s children, and stopped men from competing in women’s sports and invading their private spaces,” she said.

Other administration officials had positive favorability numbers. About 50% of Catholic voters have a favorable view of Vice President JD Vance, compared to 31% who have an unfavorable view. About 42% of Catholic voters have a favorable view of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, compared to 25% who have an unfavorable view.

Support for deportations at odds with bishops

Just last month, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) issued a unified message to oppose “the indiscriminate mass deportation of people.” It received approval from more than 95% of the voting bishops. The following week, Pope Leo XIV encouraged “all people in the United States to listen to [the bishops]” on the matter.

The USCCB did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNA.

Chad Pecknold, a theology professor at the Catholic University of America who teaches theological politics and other subjects, told CNA the numbers “track with the general public support for deportation.”

“The bishops have operated on very well-worked-out presuppositions of liberalism, and Popperian ideas about an ‘Open Society,’ that are now badly outdated,” he said. “They would be wise to reexamine their priors on prudential matters as they are losing credibility through imprudent statements on prudential matters pertaining to national security and the common good.”

Julia Young, a historian and professor at the Catholic University of America, sees the issue differently, telling CNA that U.S. Catholic bishops have historically supported immigrants and that the Church has grown from European immigration in the mid-late 19th century and from Latin American immigration in the 20th century.

“The growth of the Catholic Church over the last several decades has been largely due to immigration,” she said. “So it does make sense that the Catholic bishops are concerned about immigrants and the immigrant population because that is their laity.”

Young said much of American Catholic history has been an “immigrant group coming in and being the target of nativism.” She noted that the historical “anti-Catholic nativism” faced by those immigrant groups was the notion that Catholics were “not going to be able to become proper loyal American citizens because their loyalty was going to be to the pope.”

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that prosperous nations have an obligation, “to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner.” The immigrant has an obligation “to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.”

“Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions,” it adds.

  1. For those of us who may have missed in the left-wing media DT’s verifiable acts of kindness, among them his acts of helping Christians in general and Catholics in particular, and his actual change of mind re Hillary Clinton to avoid hurting her further. A few examples among many:
    a) School choice, which benefits Catholic schools:
    “Among the many executive orders signed by President Donald Trump in the first weeks of his new administration is one that frees up federal funding in support of school choice. This is great news for many parents and a much-needed pushback against public schools’ virtual monopoly over our nation’s education system.” https://ewtn.co.uk/article-why-president-trumps-executive-order-on-school-choice-is-great-news/
    b) SAVING CATHOLIC SCHOOLS: Upon Cardinal Dolan’s call for help, DT raised millions that saved the NY Catholic schools
    “Fundraising for Catholic Schools
    Overview of Trump’s Efforts
    Former President Donald Trump has actively supported Catholic schools, particularly during his presidency. He raised significant funds for Catholic education, especially in New York, to help address financial challenges faced by these institutions.
    Key Fundraising Events
    Catholic Fundraiser: Trump participated in a fundraiser for the Archdiocese of New York, where he made a direct appeal for the Catholic vote and emphasized the importance of supporting Catholic schools.
    • Support During the Pandemic: Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump expressed his commitment to providing federal financial support for Catholic schools, which were experiencing severe financial stress due to decreased enrollment and tuition payments.
    Impact of Fundraising
    • Financial Aid: The funds raised have been crucial in stabilizing Catholic schools, allowing them to continue serving students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds.
    Educational Justice: Catholic leaders have highlighted that supporting these schools is not just a religious issue but also a matter of educational justice, as they provide quality education at a lower cost compared to public schools.
    Trump’s fundraising efforts have played a significant role in sustaining Catholic education in New York and beyond, ensuring that these schools can continue to operate and serve their communities effectively.”

    c) One example of DT mercy is that eventually he changed his mind about “locking her up” and he has said repeatedly that Hillary Clinton had been through enough and he was not going to prosecute her:
    “President-elect Donald Trump indicated he would not pursue charges against Hillary Clinton, with a source close to his transition team stating that Trump felt Clinton had “been through enough” and would not go after her officially over her email scandal. Trump also expressed that he didn’t want to hurt the Clintons, calling them “good people,” and said he was not looking to revisit the issue. While he had previously vowed during the 2016 campaign to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton’s use of a private email server, his senior adviser Kellyanne Conway confirmed in November 2016 that Trump “doesn’t wish to pursue charges” against her.” See
    https://nypost.com/2016/11/23/why-trump-isnt-pursuing-charges-against-hillary-clinton/

    d) Many consider DT crackdown on illegal immigration not “compassionate,” yet during his first term, he actually allowed the illegals covered by Obama’s DACA to remain in the country despite the justifiable efforts by many conservatives to deport all those who had violated the laws of this country by entering illegally or by being brought in illegally. Cf. what the Vatican does with those entering ITS premises illegally:
    Vatican Promises Stiff Penalties for Illegal Aliens Crossing its Border
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/01/16/vatican-promises-stiff-penalties-for-illegal-aliens-crossing-its-border/

  2. Correction: Most Catholic voters – such as myself – STRONGLY support Trump on deportations, despite the bishops’ phony concern.

  3. Well, we pay the for the largesse they get to assist with the invasion. Taxes, press 1 for English, costs associated with maintaining translation services in hospitals, schools, ballots, reduced wages, accidents caused by illiterate and uninsured drivers

    They get all kinds of money from the government and then have the audacity to run their annual appeals so they can have meetings in ritzy places…

  4. Many polls show a massive gender divide. Here is what I found from this poll with regard to deportations (https://www.ncregister.com/news/catholic-voters-still-back-trump-ewtn-news-realclear-opinion-research-poll-shows): 62% of male Catholic voters view him favorably, compared with 45% of female Catholic voters. Catholic women voters also gave the president the strongest unfavorable rating at 33%, compared with 23% for males. Male Catholic voters were more likely than female voters, 21% to 10%, to list mass deportations as the most important campaign promise. As with the gender divide over the question of the most important campaign promise, his deportation policy has also sparked a split between the sexes, as 62% of men strongly or somewhat favor the policy, while 46% of women strongly or somewhat favor it.

    • “Catholic women voters also gave the president the strongest unfavorable rating at 33%…”

      That’s because most women (not just Catholic women) think of Trump’s personality instead of the issues.

  5. Most Catholics are law-abiding citizens. It is against the law to enter the USA without following the established procedures. The bishops disregard the law and foster lawlessness when they condone aliens entering the USA illegally. Those of us who are fathers and grandfathers have a moral responsibility to insure the safety of our children and grandchildren. Bishop have no children to protect and cannot possibly understand the moral obligations of fathers to protect their children.

    The bishops seem to ignore the vast numbers of illegal aliens who enter the USA and rape, murder, and steal which, the last time I looked, were sins in the Catholic Church.

    • There used to be an examination of conscience at the back of my Church that used the Decalogue as sort of checklist, along with some other considerations implicit in each individual Commandment.

      For the Fourth Commandment, the additional considerations were obeying employers and legal authority-with a specific question: “Have I paid all my taxes?”.

      That question always gave me some amusement in its naivete. Being a CPA, I have a better than average understanding of taxation, and I understand NOBODY other than those with the simplest situations can answer that in the affirmative, because taxes-especially federal taxes are incredibly complex, uncertain, variable and voluminous. The best a person, even a licensed practitioner could say is “I haven’t intentionally evaded a liability”.

      Now if I’m bound to OBEY Title 26, with all of obnoxious cost and effort involved with compliance, then why aren’t foreigners obliged to obey Title 8-which is relatively simple?

      I am not insensitive to the plight of refugees. I had an elementary school teacher who was a refugee from Castro’s Cuba. She and her husband came to the United States and were model citizens as are their children. Cuba’s loss was our gain.

      The Bishops never comment on taxes, other than to encourage more spending taxes-without the slightest knowledge of the dictum “the power to tax involves the power to destroy” and that taxes are meant to be instruments to fund legitimate functions of government, not instruments of economic engineering.

      The contrast and disparity couldn’t be more stark. No Bishop would call a tax evader an “undocumented taxpayer in duplicitous attempt conceal the illegality of unauthorized entry. They don’t run organizations to assist with compliance with our onerous tax burdens. They don’t opine endlessly on the inequities or cruelties of tax administration or militate for relief.

      • Errata:

        No Bishop would call a tax evader an “undocumented taxpayer” in the way as they label lawful entry evaders entrants “undocumented immigrant” in duplicitous attempt conceal the illegality of unauthorized entry.

      • The other issue is that much of this spending is borrowed funds, the becoming “Federal Funds.”

        It seems there is no frugality in the federal government at all. (I realize the grossly underfunded Medicare, Social Security and sometimes Medicaid funding is likely most of the problem of this black hole)

        A young relative (early 20s) works full time and has medical insurance set up through his employer (due to income he as forced onto the exchanges). With these subsidies dropping off Jan 1, the monthly pmt is set to be over 500. This is for a healthy non smoker non drinker. I think he can still get on his parent’s plan, but other than that I told him to go without, due to his low risk.

  6. The graphic in the article asks “Do you favor or oppose the detention and deportation of unauthorized immigrants on a broad scale?” That question alone calls into question the validity of the survey. The question does not use the term “illegal alien,” the technically correct term. No, the crafter of the poll knew exactly what they were doing by using the oxymoron “unauthorized immigrants.” Such a blatant and obvious attempt to sway the response. Shameful.

    And Pitchfork Rebel, you are spot on. The vast majority of bishops are completely out of step with the sentiments of the American Catholic voter. The overwhelming support for Trump in the last election proves the point. And ritzy meeting places? Indeed. The optics of that…

    • I’d like to say you have a gift for understatement “out of step”, because there’s almost an arrogance to their actions.

      I remember when they were having a meeting at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore in 2018 this very day, November 12, where my former Bishop, James Timlin defied Bishop Bambera’s order prohibiting him from representing the diocese at any public events, liturgical or otherwise.

      Timlin was 91 at the time, so it now doubt took some effort to get there and to fail to momento mori.

      I didn’t take a vow of obedience-Timlin did and when he retired as Bishop, he was returned to the instruction of the new Ordinary.

      CCC Paragraph 2241 is clear and it provides no quarter for Episcopal oversite of the nature and extent of immigration.

      All persons have a right to preserve their nation, it’s customs, laws and traditions-its distinct identity. Charity shouldn’t mean Muslims capturing municipal governments and telling Christians they are not “welcome” or having inner cities turned into enclaves of foreigners.

      Even Theodore Hesburgh had a grasp that unlimited immigration was pathological altruism at best.

      “It is not enough to sympathize with the aspirations and plight of illegal aliens. We must also consider the consequences of not controlling our borders,”

      March 1986

  7. The issue boils down to the Rule of Law as a foundational principle of our national life. My willingness to obey various state and federal laws is how I contribute to a functioning society. I am not above the law, and I am not the exception to all the rules. Allowing unlimited and unvetted mass immigration is an insult to all of those responsible citizens who are playing by the rules. If a person’s first act is to disobey laws to be here illegally, then he or she forfeits the privilege of being here. If I’m an athlete who is not willing to play by the rules, I don’t get to play in the game. If illegals cannot follow the law and honor the process, they don’t get to be here. It’s much more simple than the out-of-touch bishops realize.

  8. These actions are taking place daily but the left wing media will not report them to the citizens of this country:

  9. Our family knows immigrants that came from Vietnam and are model citizens. They went through the Naturalization process, spoke the pledge to this country, and are now model citizens. This what I support. It’s a slap in the face for the people who sacrificed to become an American citizens the lawful way. We are country of laws and if your first inclination is to disregard those laws and arrive here illegally then chances are you are….well you can fill in the blanks.

  10. Politics and religion don’t mix, except when we have no other moral choice.

    I agree that Cartel criminals must be arrested and deported, but the process is seriously flawed and the colateral damage is overwhelmingly cruel and in some cases, life threatening. Puppy killer Noem has divided families even sending some immigants to El Salvador’s dreaded Cecot prison that mandates no release.

    Trump’s mass deportation process is using the National Guard with polICE using a saber instead of scalpel to find the worst of the worst has failed miserably causing mass uprisings ans havoc across the bation.

    Trump has difficulty with morals, honesty, and character. Calls Somalis GARBAGE. Other nations are S*i*-Holes. His tirades of falseness and spewing of lies and hatred place him a historically unique President. Examples:

    Trump calls his purported enemies, like ailing Joe Biden, “a walking corpse and a lunatic.” MT Greene is a “traitor,” which often triggers death threats by his criminal MAGA sycophants. Geene said her family has gotten death threats on her children.

    Ironically, Pete Segheth is calling for the court martial of decorated astronaut Mark Kelly for following the UCMJ, which clearly supports illegal commands. A sure loser for Trump who never served a second in defense of the country that made him a billionaire!!!

    White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers told CNA that Trump “won in a landslide victory with historic support from patriotic Catholics across the country because he promised to fight for people of faith, and he has delivered in record time.”

    The Guardian: FALSE! Final certified results indicated he won approximately 49.8% of the popular vote.
    Donald Trump (Republican): ~77.3 million votes (49.8%)
    Kamala Harris (Democratic): ~75.0 million votes (48.3%)

    The convicted criminals’ averages hover around 36% …

    Approval Ratings by Policy Area

    There is not enough ink to list Trump’s many unlawful and immoral acts. The most egregious is that he has broken his oath to protect the Constitution. Trump is a divider, not a uniter.

    God protect our children.

    • “Politics and religion don’t mix, except when we have no other moral choice.”

      Meaningless drivel. Worse, completely false.

    • MorganD: Your TDS is way out of control. I’d get help soon if I were you. In the meantime, stop watching CNN, PBS and anything coming from AP or Reuters as it will exacerbate your condition.

      • Trump is a symptom, not the problem. The problem is that a large swath of the population buys into the MAGA schlock. The white working class has lost a lot of ground over the past 40 years. Instead of blaming the true culprits, CEO’s and billionaires, Trump and the Republicans transfer the blame to safe targets, such as immigrants, transgenders and other culture war targets.

        Incredibly, MAGA buys into tax cuts for the rich and other supply side economic drek, even though it does nothing for them. Millions of MAGA people will lose their Medicaid health care coverage, but by golly Trump beats up those Transgenders, so everything is great.

        • No one will be losing Medicaid under Trump. Democrats like you have been repeating that lie for decades, so no one is buying what you’re selling here.

      • I have a friend suffering from TDS who texts me with anti Trump rants before 5am and composed an anti Trump tirade on her Christmas card.
        I hope Mr Morgan’s TDS is less painful. It can’t be a pleasant affliction to suffer.

        • That text message sounds like good food for thought early AM, over coffee (I’m kidding). You should tell your friend that his text alert beeping just woke the grandkids spending the night and now they are upset and can’t get back to sleep!
          (they think Santa texted Grandma that they aren’t getting any presents this year)

    • Its funny how many liberals attack Trump on “name calling”, except when its THEIR side that does it. I have lost track of how many democrat politicians have called Trump a dictator, a nazi, a murderer; said that he is going to refuse to leave office, is endangering our democracy, and any number or other clearly deranged accusations. They do the same with his cabinet picks. Tom Homan has been personally threatened and his agents physically attacked. All of those attacks far and away supercede calling obviously dysfunctional third world nations full of pirates, criminals and terrorists “S…Hole” countries. And all of THAT leftist name calling has thus far resulted in two REAL assassination attacks on Trump, not to mention illegally ginned up legal charges made up out of whole cloth simply intended to knee-cap his political ambitions. The weaponization of our government agencies. And lets not forget the attack on the Republican baseball team in Washington DC.

      My big concern is that we have too many uninformed voters who expect instant results on bringing normality back to our nation while Trump is attacked in the courts every single time he makes a move to pass a law. It does slow things down. I wonder about the people who vote for a party that wants to free criminals,open our borders to terrorists, and pay for every Tom , Dick and Harry who can jump the border. These voters are clearly ill-informed, partisan, credulous or simply not too smart. Changing your vote every year is not a pathway to fixing the government. Our schools, hospitals and housing stock is bursting at the seams. And we see from the recent Somali theft rings that stole a BILLION of taxpayer dollars, that not all immigrants are nice folks who just want to work. Save me the fairy tales.

      Put me down as an educated woman who is thrilled Trump has shut the border, and is stopping boat loads of terrorists before they and their DRUGS, reach our shores. I dont care how many times we have to hit their boat. They are enemy combatants, trying to kill our citizens. “Just poor folks trying to earn a living”???? REALLY? So its ok they kill our kids?? Americans need to wake up and understand we are at war.

      • Well on the bright side, at least our schools are getting some numbers back recently. I was reading a border town newspaper and their enrollment keeps falling because people are having fewer children. The article said it’s a feature now in the state elementary schools and eventually will affect enrollment numbers for high schools and colleges.
        I’m sorry for the lives lost in those drug boats. Cartel workers aren’t always given a choice when they’re recruited. But what they carry are weapons of mass destruction. I don’t know a single family who hasn’t lost a loved one to an overdose, has a member who suffers an addiction, or has someone incarcerated because of addiction.

      • Regarding drugs,the problem is demand. Those “Narco-Terrorists” would not be bringing drugs to the US unless there was demand. Yes,we should make every effort to stop drugs from coming to the US, but we must also stop demanding them. The drug users are not exactly innocent victims, but participants in this mess.

      • LJ: Well said. We have to recognize that those with TDS are deranged individuals, full of hate and vitriol.

        When we saw how the TDS crowd went about keying Teslas because Elon Musk was busy trying to uncover fraud in government, we witnessed this deranged hate.

        When Charlie Kirk was murdered by a homosexual trans maniac we saw evidence of how the TDS crowd applauded his murder.

        When two assassination attempts were made on President Trump we saw the TDS hate crowd rejoice at the prospect of his death.

        There are so many more examples of the TDS syndrome of hate and violence that illustrate that much of their thinking and behavior is the work of the Evil One.

    • I seem to recall Biden calling all Trump supporters “garbage.” Did we cry? Did Trump cry? No, instead, he wore garbage man’s yellow vest (“because it made him look thinner”) and drove a garbage truck. It was hilarious!

    • “…using a saber instead of scalpel to find the worst of the worst…”

      The “worst of the worst” and the “best of the best” are the same – they both violated our immigration law. They deserve the same treatment.

  11. “Young said much of American Catholic history has been an ‘immigrant group coming in and being the target of nativism.’”

    Oookay! When nothing else seems to work, pull out the race card. But the race card – and the charge of “nativism” that goes with it – do not work for us LEGAL immigrants, because we are not native., But we, too, are here. Don’t ignore our presence. The difference is, we’re LEGAL.

    Why do the pope and bishops purposely overlook the difference between legal and illegal immigrants? When was the last time we hear the pope or a bishop preach that illegal immigration is immoral? They hardly ever, because for them, illegal aliens are sacred. Preferential option is only for illegals. Period.

    Neither is it true that immigrant groups are the target of nativism, since natives and alien groups hardly ever sit in the same Mass. They don’t interact. The natives attend the Mass in their preferred language (English); the immigrants have their own Mass in their own languages. Where did the idea of “target of nativism” come from, then? Obviously, it’s the race card.

    Using the race card indiscriminately without regard for us, Brown legal immigrants, is in itself racist. The race card is old and does not work. What works is the green card.

  12. Thanks to Carl and to all who responded to my post on more young Catholic voters supporting President Trump. Complementary discourse is always a winner. It concerns me when vile personal rhetoric destroys the discussion. Those stark words incite the very thing we need to fix.

    My overriding fear is for the future of our innocent children being exposed to today’s enormous challenges, including political polarization driven by lies and hatred. I feel that President Trump’s bully pulpit causes much of that fear. He shows a stark cognative difference from his first term.

    The broader question is how can we come together and put “America first”? The term coined by the president.

    Putting America first requires collaboration and conciliation with other nations. The key is strong and fair leadership. Current events pose many negatives and dangers.

    I suggest that we become more involved and vocal in defence of our Republic.
