Catholicism is a sect of Christianity, just like Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy. If he’s going after people who disrespect Christianity, he should show respect for it himself.
It is a sect of Christianity, but a fair amount of protestants don’t like to acknowledge that. I grew up in a very Presbyterian family, and I straight up didn’t know that Catholics were Christians until I was an adult because I was always taught that they were sinners who were obsessed with meaningless rituals, who worshipped the virgin Mary and saints rather than god (i.e. “false idols”), etc.
I’m no longer religious, but my family still is and my mom - to this day - refuses to acknowledge the fact that Catholics are Christians.
That’s completely true, but he didn’t create an Anti-Protestant Bias Coalition to protect Protestants from persecution. If he’s championing Christianity, so he should respect all of its sects.
You and I both know he’s full of shit, and just doing this to tighten his grip on the Bible Belt. All the more reason I feel compelled to call out his hypocrisy when it’s visible.
This isn’t the same as Obama’s tan suit. The dude is championing Christianity as a national religion. He should respect the customs.
He’s pushing Christian nationalism not Catholicism
