No, but think about what you've just written: if the pope can convince his followers that the church has a moral and ethical duty to promote Marxism, how many of his followers would reject it and break with Catholicism?

It's not just an interesting hypothetical; it strikes at the very heart of what we're experiencing across the world, right now. Many of our institutions have been infiltrated by groupthink, political correctness and communist ideology and they're being used to subvert the public's will.

Organized religion is but one such institution. It's inherently collectivist (because people are brought together in its precepts) and the schism between left and right breaks directly through it. While individual Mormons may have voted for Trump, the church itself, as a social institution, teaches social harmony, social responsibility and social conciliation. Has the LDS church institution shown any particular support or even lukewarm regard for Trump??

The left's war against organized religion isn't a fluke, it's a feature of their ideology. Social cohesion is strong in church institutions, and loyalty to its moral and ethical content makes organized religion a formidable obstacle for statist collectivists. That's why they either try to infiltrate churches to bend them to their will, or smash them entirely. If the left can break these institutions, it renders individuals isolated and vulnerable to the statists.
