You are one person, “Evangelical Christian” covers a lot of ground

Yup. I’m done with the secular, diet Christianity and weak theological garbage. With all the information at your fingertips today, if you aren’t Roman Catholic, Orthodox or Eastern Catholic you need to study harder.
The synagogue of Satan and Muhammadists don’t rest, why should we…?

Well, nuance is dead as has been said before. The killing of Christians by Israel reflects more broadly on their true view of the faith, imo.

This op and thread is complete falsehood.
I read the article linked. It is a lengthy thesis. No way that op read this enter thesis before posting this thread.
Also, op links Cruz to harboring some kind of anti Catholicism. Where is that in the article, op ?
OP probably has a coherent point to make, but he has failed to make a coherent point here. If his real objective is to stir up a serving of Rage Bait, he has succeeded, judging by the string of responses.
OP, could you add some comments that would tie together and clarify your point? There is good food for thought here, and it would be informative if you could add more

Wrong. They were believers in Christ using Marxist tactics.

Of course I don’t know with any certainty, but Israel has a long history of these actions against Christian churches.
Just last week it was reported that a bill was proposed in the Israeli Knesset that could make it illegal to promote Christianity in any form, whether by word, online, through media, or even via email. The proposed law would punish violators with up to 2 years in prison.
The Jews WERE the chosen people. When they rejected Christ, Christians then became the chosen. Having said that, I still support Israel's right to exist. I only wish they didn't want to extinguish Christianity in the place of its origin.

That’s because the “evangelical Christians” driving policy aren’t actual evangelical Christians and the narrative of this "Evangelicals v. Catholics" fight is pretty stupid considering there is no single coherent eschatology or biblical theology that evangelicals agree upon.

That’s what happens when you don’t have a pope, ecumenical councils and a hierarchy of bishops, priests, etc.

you must not know any devout Catholics under 50 because the priest and congregation are way different than the 2 previous generations

After reading the article I thought the same thing. Calling this "Anti-Catholic" is meant to end any meaningful discussion. Especially considering the author went out of her way to avoid this specific criticism.

A Necessary Distinction: This Is Not About Catholicism or Regular Catholics but about Political Catholic Integralism
Before mapping this operation in full, one clarification is essential — because without it, the analysis will be misread, and misreading it serves the operation’s interests.
This is not about Catholics.
The 70 million American Catholics who go to Mass on Sunday, vote their conscience, pay their taxes, coach Little League, and have been reliable partners in the pro-life movement for fifty years are not the subject of this investigation. They are, in a real sense, among its victims. The political integralist Catholicism being deployed in this operation bears no relationship to the ordinary American Catholic faith — it uses the vocabulary and symbols of a faith tradition as a vehicle for a power project that most practitioners of that faith would find alien and alarming. In fact, I would argue that but for the influencer and opinion shaper class, everyday Catholics don’t even know its happening.
What is actually being deployed is a specific ideological cocktail with three distinct ingredients, none of which represent mainstream American Catholic life.

And if Pastor Joe doesn't like what the current denomination says, he can go off and start his new "non-denominational" megachurch and teach whatever heresy he wants.

Should we look at the downsides of such a hierarchy?

Oddly, I have a cabin on the Nantahala River near where his “church” still operates.
They’re not what I would define as Christian.
