Great article! 1% Catholic Oligarchs (U.S. Catholic Bishops), their wealthiest Republican patrons, NOM, race…
Historically, the most Conservative Christians were most closely associated with maintaining/justifying slavery, segregation, dehumanization of Blacks AND most aggressively resisting diversity and change.
As a Jesuit-trained Catholic I've been horrified how the rightwing captured the Catholic hierarchy and eviscerated key reforms of Pope John 23rd (e.g. contraception). They aligned with most retrograde political-economic forces worldwide, purged reformers, and marginalized those orders (e.g. Jesuits) whose members followed the New Covenant of Jesus - NOT the Old Covenant and St. Paul, proponents of much of what Jesus abhorred.
America’s MOST Conservative Christians are attempting to impose Sharia-esque sovereignty over our minds and bodies (e.g., bodily fluids, zygotes, embryos, family planning, partnership, and health choices, beliefs, etc.), privatize the public sphere (e.g. schools, prisons, water, Social Security, Medicare, etc.) and establish "full spectrum dominion" over all spheres of life.
Abusing race and religion to cloak their agenda in “moral/white-sp/rmcy” is critical to rallying the troops they need.
