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..)
If you’ve ever seen an athlete or pop star or actor profess their faith and homophobic beliefs publicly and repeatedly it’s likely part of this:
It’s also tied inextricably to America in the way that Mormonism is (on different aspects): while the leaders are American, indisputably, there are a ton of global faith leaders in the same mold
Which is remarkable given that anyone who actually reads and listens to Jesus’ words ought to come away with a huge dose of humility and empathy rather than this kind of overweening arrogance. 😞
