May the charity, hope, and faith of the Holy Catholic Church be a light into the darkness. Pray for us sinners Mary and all ye host of heaven.

@SohrabAhmari In a moment in which Baptists are debating whether women can speak on podcasts and Presbyterians are debating whether black people can be saved, the Catholic Church is taking on the real moral issues of our time with wisdom, charity, and hope. I love the Church.

@realmattcarr @presbydad Im a side C Christian, I love the bigot and hate the sin.

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

@dandarling We had one, Ben Sasse, and his Baptist evangelical base ran him out for not supporting the orange messiah.

Didn’t you retweet the idiot meme about this man helping mow your grass? This is your grass being mowed Erick. Just sit there like Billy Bob Thornton in Slingblade and rub your hands together about them taters.

@briankeepsworth The MAGA White House is a circus AND a sexually deviant place.

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

@bonhoefferchild There should be more discourse about Paul Pressler’s hot tub parties and who in conservative evangelicalism went and engaged

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

I’ll give JD this, the book is one of the most astounding conversion stories in human history. One man managed to find two gods at exactly the same time.

Dr. Frankenstein searches for anyone else to blame for his monster.

The Nazis are sneaking into the church and too many culture warriors on the right are making excuses for them. https://t.co/wGQ6QHGWWd

You’ll put your fingers in the air, see which way the populist wind is blowing, and fall in line.

If such a case arises, I'll gladly be the Protestant Churchill.

@geekyguyjay @KevinDeYoung @TGC On the other hand, after years of this, why are people shocked that people aren’t shocked? This is who most SBC/Reformed people are.

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

@garrettham_esq @tgiovanetti @TexasGOP Yes but OTOH the “Catholic” governor of Texas ordered his goons to push children into s river.

@FeserEdward Yes but the problem is the primaries. We could have DeSantis and none of this lunacy if the evangelicals hadn’t become so decadent they thought all of this was funny.

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

@megbasham @watershed_notes They learned this stuff from their pastors and men in the pews and from their Jim Crow supporting grandpappies and it was reinforced at SBTS by Paul Pressler’s hot tub crew

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

@megbasham This is BS. They learned this stuff in pulpits and pews and from their Jim Crow grandpappies.

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

TIL the nazi problem in the SBC/PCA is because of Tim Keller

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

No, it did not come out of nowhere. Men are responsible for their own sins. But I think we can create an environment that will encourage certain sins. And years and years of big evangelical leadership, insisting that we needed to do things like performatively wash the feet of black people in church or stand up and applaud to show that we were repenting for our white privilege is exactly the kind of poisonous environment that I believe has helped encourage this garbage.

We had the most famous Presbyterian theologian in the country for years teaching that normal things like negotiating the best price for a car was somehow sinful if you were white. We had places like the Gospel Coalition Christianity today, and even World magazine under Marvin Olasky promoting CRT disciples like Jemar Tisby.

So now you have encouraged people to identify with their skin color. Again, their sin is their own. But this was not well done.

Even today you will have them defending segregated church groups for minorities that they would never allow for white people. And they shouldn’t allow it, to be clear, for anyone.

All this wickedness is creating division on all sides, and it must ALL be repudiated.

@poperespecter1 Well every branch of the church is entitled to ONE GK Chesterton ration

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

@elimcgowan @SlowToWrite Honestly Eli we gotta do the same thing folks did when they had a LGBTQ family member they loved - you got a bigot that denies the universal church? Side C Christian, love them, include them, go to dinner with them.

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

@elimcgowan @SlowToWrite Love the sinner hate the sin, for real though. This is Side C Christianity!

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

@sola_chad @ostrachan @elimcgowan The SBTS right?

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

And yet they call come from SBTS. Explain. Take your time. But be honest, this is for posterity.

[Owen Strachan @ostrachan]

It is imperative that you understand that the state of the Christian Nationalism discussion right now is this: some of its leading proponents are openly declaring that Hitler is their hero.

This is devilry in the house of God.

This is Baal worship in the temple.

[William Harper @William__Tanner]

Someone tell Erick Erickson about this before y’all canonize him as the first Bapto-Presby saint.

[Neil Shenvi @NeilShenvi]

What we're witnessing is the wholly foreseeable natural consequence of "no enemies to the right" (NETTR) that I warned about in July 2024:

"Wherever 'no enemies' tactics are employed, the most radical, fringe groups are empowered and eventually co-opt the movement." 1/
