So, this morning what New Right toady sites like LifeSite News describe as "the most pro-Christian Administration in History" sent its top emissary Marco Rubio to the Vatican to present a list of demands negotiate with the Pope because of recent Papal criticisms of some of the White House's rhetoric and policies. The last such delegation, we might recall, featured J.D. Vance forcing his way onto Pope Francis' deathbed to scream about Papal opposition to rounding up thousands of Catholics and warehousing them in foreign and domestic Concentration Camps as well as selling weapons to regimes that fire-bomb churches. The Media Punditocracy couldn't fathom why Francis may have opposed such measures. Hopefully, Pope Leo will survive this meeting, the US Deep State's hopes to the contrary notwithstanding.
This being an 'Election' Year in the US, the Controlled Opposition is ridiculously trying to pretend that they actually care about American Catholics. The sad fact is that American Catholics really have no representation; they can support Democrats and submit to the Abortion Racketeers and the Gay Mafia, or they can support the Reactionary Right and get Deep State Christian Nationalist fronts like Opus Dei (represented by the likes of Vance and Rubio). Both wings of the Uniparty have a general contempt for mainstream Catholics because they recognize a higher Authority than the State. For the same reason, they both hate Mainstream Protestants too; as well as non-Zionist Jews, and generally anybody else who doesn't fall in line behind the New Order.
The fake political theater aside, though, it can no longer be gainsaid that the intention of the New Right is the Establishment of a State Church. There's no point in denying any longer that so-called 'MAGA Christianity' is anything other than a cult; or more precisely, a fusion of various cults coalescing around a political ideology. Organizations like the Rockbridge Network and the Heritage Foundation---whose Christian Nationalist leaders hold the Vice-Presidency and the Office of Management and Budget respectively, are proof of that. We could add Pete Hegseth's purges of the Pentagon; the installation of similar characters at the Department of Homeland Security; Presidential Advisory Boards packed with cultists of various kinds, etc.
The New Right is neither Conservative nor Christian; it is not seeking political or social reformation or restoration. It is a Reactionary movement both politically and culturally. Christian Nationalism is simply the antipode of the Rainbow Churchianity of the New Left. The goal of both movements is the ultimate subservience of Faith to Ideology. The pastors with the preferred pronouns and the Rainbow flags on their podiums and the pastors calling themselves manly Alpha leaders holding fundraisers for thugs like Andrew Tate and preaching about the Sin of Empathy are the same wolves in different sheep's clothing.
It's rather doubtful that anything of substance will come from Rubio's meeting with the Pope; although there are bound to be plenty of photo-ops and narrative-crafting from the White House. There really is no point on which the New Right and the Church can find common grounds of agreement. American Christians are in a position, however, where they need to start asking themselves whether the Church or the State commands their ultimate allegiance. It's a question they should have asked themselves a long time ago. This is why our Founders wisely separated Church and State, so that the populace would never be put in a position where they had to choose between the two. Instead, we looked the other way as the State encroached further and further into matters of faith: now it has become a necessity.
