"Just as "Christian" had served as a fascist cue for hostility to Jews in the 1930s, so has "Judeo-Christian" become an emblem of evangelical hostility to Muslims in the post-cold war era."

Mark Silk on the history of the term 'Judeo-Christian'

A a recent conference Mark Silk offered a presentation entitled, "Judeo-Christian: From Anti-Fascist to Neo-Fascist." Silk's paper was so smart, I asked permission to publish it here at Distinctly Catholic and Silk graciously agreed.

Not bad, particularly given where it's coming from:

"Vance knows that lying and killing are sins.

"Vance knows. He doesn't care. Vance’s twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power.

"The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith."
