The MAGA antichrist Cult–and the actual Church–summed up in three tweet exchanges.
The only thing worse than the arrogant prickery of the Cult that always assumes that they and they alone are the sum total of the Real Church on Earth is the easy capitulation of those in the Resistance who immediately agree with them and also reduce the Church to nobody and nothing but its worst MAGA members.
Stop ceding the field to the biggest assholes in the Church. Yes, there are assholes in the Church. Jesus told us from the get-go that the Church will be a field with wheat and weeds, a net full of good fish and bad. But to simply reduce the Church to nothing but its worst members is simply to abandon the fight. It is also to calumny and refuse aid and comfort to the millions–indeed billions of Christians around the world who do not fit into the tiny, racist, antichrist sect that currently dominates the power structure of the US. Indeed, it is to slander and calumny them.
There are countless Domalewskis and TaglesTopGuys (and Pope Leos) out there. 12,000 of them are on my Facebook friends and followers list. More of them are here, reading this blog. Stop telling them they don’t exist or are all alone and that there is only MAGA in the Church. It’s not just a lie, it is a lie that hurts decent people and crushes their hope when there is still great hope. This is a hard struggle. Don’t make it harder by telling those who struggle that they are on their own or, worse, that they are secretly part of the vile antichrist cult they have resisted at great cost for the past 10 years. We are not on our own. God remains Emmanuel and there are still plenty of disciples of Jesus out there.
