In case some are confused as to what we're talking about here, or suppose we're talking about what they themselves talk about when they worry about people talking about what we are not talking about, here's a helpful piece by Kenneth Woodward that might sort them out on that: https://www.firstthings.com/article/2024/05/the-myth-of-white-christian-nationalism
Professor Farrow - good morning. Would you have any articles you can recommend (or write) that explains why excessive immigration into a country is NOT a Christian activity, and that the Catholic ideology to support migration has limits? We live in US and will suffer greatly due in large part to our own Church's actions. Very distressing.
So, maybe not a Christian state, but perhaps a least a GOP state, given the relative trueness of its platform, despite the infiltration of its leadership? If we could *hold its leaders to its platform* perhaps we could bring about a country where all men are created equal (which was Christ's incarnational message). The Democrat plant reality actor infiltrators have got to be booted out. See essay at momandddadmatters.substack.com .
Professor Farrow - what did Jesus do when he faced similar disorder and false gospel from the rabbis? Isn't it the tenants who turned against the owner of the fields, and what He said when betrayed with a kiss?
What are we laity to do?
Asked sincerely and in yearning for wise and true counsel.
Thank you again for your astute writing on the crisis we are in the midst of. It is difficult to know how to bear witness to an almighty God and be on guard to the demonic forces in our midst. “Going along to get along” is the path of least resistance. But indeed, we need to dig wells. I was at my darkest hour of faith in the institutional church when I found your writing thru your talk at Regent College. Your writing and those talks, drew me out of the despair I dug myself into thru Covid.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
N.T. Wright, in his latest book, Into the Heart of Romans, speaks of the work of lament. Ora et labora, but mourn as well.

Great article Douglas!

What's to disagree with here? You have succinctly summarized everything that is happening today as well as the proper solution. Amen
