"I’m a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists."

Marjorie Taylor Green ~ Politician and Conspiracy Theorist 

 

You may have heard about Christian nationalism... 

It's the hip (not) new trend all your Bible-beating relatives, and red-hat-wearing neighbors are talking about. Christian nationalism is a casserole of the worst parts of both the 4th of July and Christmas paired scrumptiously with a fine assortment of hatred, guns, and an unquenchable thirst for power. 

That's bigotry delicious - just like your grandma used to make. Yum! 

Join me today as we embark on a dive into different facets and mouthpieces of Christian nationalism. It is a movement that seeks to reform culture and control government; theocracy-style. None of this has anything to do with Jesus, but that has never stopped Christians before.   

Christian nationalism is a frightening and violent distortion of the faith. It twists the teachings of Jesus and scripture into tools of acrimony wielded against others under the guise of supposed righteousness. This toxic ideology is on the rise in religious circles. What was once a term of scorn has now become a badge of honor. 

This ideology and movement is a growing problem that gleefully plants the seeds of fascism and theocracy in America and beyond. 

We'll talk about all that and plenty more snark!

This weekend we hear a gospel from Matthew which is broken into three basic parts: the parable of the sower…Jesus’s reasoning for using parables… and then lastly, the explanation Jesus gave his 1st century followers of what this parable was all about. But there is something so obvious to see in this story that even Jesus omitted it from his explanation. What did Jesus leave out of his elucidation of this gospel? And how can that missing piece of the puzzle change your life? Click and listen to how the answer to these questions is found….in the soil.

Our Mass was interrupted by a pounding on the door. We welcomed nine men and women into our assembly seeking to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. This homily is preached primarily to them. (Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville, TN)
