This past week, attacks on traditional Catholics and Catholic integralism (that is, the Kingship of Christ) reached a fever pitch, with controversies ranging from the Ted Cruz debacle to the “Insurrection Barbie” essay and the comments of “Pastor” Doug Wilson.>You can read more about it here, here, and here, and be sure to watch the video here.>I would go so far as to say that this attack has spectacularly backfired on the so-called “Ziovangelical” camp of Cruz and other self-identified pseudo-conservative Protestant “Christians”. Rather than weakening their opponents, it has helped awaken more faithful Catholics to what is unfolding in American politics and elsewhere—particularly regarding “the chosen people.” At the same time, it has once again highlighted a crucial point: that the Catholic Church and what is often called the “Synodal Church” represent two distinct and opposing religions. (The latter you can file under heretical/ schismatic alongside the 40 000 Protestant proliferations).
