By John Zmirak Published on November 3, 2020 Last week, The Stream ran a sobering, prophetic message from a great Catholic leader, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano. It called on Catholics to repent our easy, sleazy acquiescence in the corruption of our Church, so many of whose leaders (including Pope Francis) seem to support Joe Biden’s pro-choice party. Perhaps they simply carry on the old, tribal loyalties [...]

Documents show financial ties between ERLC & left-wing George Soros Open Society Foundations, Pierre Omidyar of the Democracy Fund, and Paul Singer of the American Unity Fund. A report from Enemies within the Church, printed below, contains documents obtained by the filmmakers that link grants and funding from leftist billionaires to the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention and its [...]

Faithful America is a product of the professional Left, funded by the biggest names in left-wing politics to do their bidding. But this atheist-backed organization has an odd message to Republican lawmakers: 18,600 Christians don’t support the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

The NeverTrump movement among putatively faithful Christians is running on fumes. All the legitimate doubts we (I included) once had about President Trump’s pro-life intentions, or respect for the limits of his office? They’ve proven groundless.

If you have never heard of “creation care,” you will. It’s coming to a church near you. Creation care is an attempt to disguise environmentalism and its secular, global warming agenda as a mandate from the Bible. These activists’ goal is to redefine “pro-life” to incorporate doctrinaire environmentalism, framing its misanthropic history of eugenics, population control, forced sterilization, and even abortion as a “gospel issue.”

Sojourners is a left-of-center advocacy organization using Christian messaging to support liberal public policies. It publishes a monthly journal, titled Sojourners.

Global warmers’ latest crusade is targeting “white supremacy everywhere,” starting with “the underlying systems of extraction, segregation, and racist inequality” central to American history, law enforcement, and our prison system. And you thought global warming was about the climate. Unlike the environmentalists of yesteryear who struggled to disannul any ties to Soviet-style Bolshevism, today’s eco-activists are indistinguishable from the revolutionaries they compete with. In fact, [...]

I remember The Matrix fondly. And the halcyon time when the brothers who made that movie hadn’t had their genitals hacked off, and insisted on playing the scariest-looking sisters in show-biz outside Macbeth. I recall how rich the film seemed in potential implications. I even bought an anthology entitled Philosophy and The Matrix. Its essays wondered, learnedly, was the film crypto-Christian? Buddhist? Alt-right? Gnostic?

Last week, 50 Republican congressmen sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking that the DoJ investigate the groups responsible for the rioting in our cities and use existing federal law to prosecute those "participating in, inciting, organizing, or funding" those riots. It's about time.

Amid so many historic aspects to the 2020 election, one bit of important history may be getting lost. While Trump has ushered in a whole new era in politics, changes to American church life during the last four years have been sweeping. This essay will provide an introduction to the church's present battles, for readers who may not have been following Christian media or who [...]
