Nothing about what we are seeing from this administration is mainline Christian. That’s why they don’t care what the Pope says. They don’t think the Pope is a real Christian.

All of this comes from an apocalyptic end times sect / cult of Christianity centered on ‘dominionism’.

I grew up in this cult and I can trace a straight line from it to all the worst things about our world today, not just in America (they’re also huge in East and SE Asia, Brazil, Australia..)

@skinnylatte Also, the Pope is not the boss of a LOT of Christians. And the entire WASP element of the GOP (i.e. all of it) was easy to SUBVERT into Christian Nationalism because Protestantism was already its own special version of 'you didn't work hard enough and the Catholics are actually sinners" hell.
