Listeners may wish to check out “The Heresy of the Roman Catholic Church” on G-3’s podcast to get a deeper understanding of Mr. Walker and his belief system, where, among many other things, Mr. Walker denounces Pope Francis as a “woke” leftist.

Wow, what an engaging podcast! And Virgil, I love your bowtie! :)
I listened to four or five episodes yesterday during a ten hour auto tour - listening to FBT, jamming along to my Spotify tunes, and communing with God - meaning to comment on all of them, and I realized I had better start on those comments before I end up hopelessly conflating the lot of them. So I listened to yours a few hours ago and now I wish to offer my three cents while this presentation is still fresh in my mind.
I find myself agreeing with everything you say - except for two notable exceptions, which I'll get to in a moment. But I have to admit, I have no familiarity with the term, "White Christian Nationalism." I imagine I have heard it before but not so that it stuck with me. I really try to stay away from all this esoteric vocabulary that idealogues invent. Because while the idealogues think they're being profound with the language, they really ain't sayin' jack.
And I certainly understand the concept, as you laid it out. It sounds like Klan ideology to me; remember, they rode ostensibly in defense of the Cross. This is just a modern way of spewing that same old nonsense.
Virgil, I too take great pains to dialogue with everyone. I have been labeled Republican and I've been labeled Leftist, depending on which particular knucklehead I'm engaging at any particular moment. When truly, all I am is Mark. Or I should say: Mark, child of God. I have to say, though, you may be one of the few who take more pains than I to give the other the benefit of many doubts. I think the author you quoted at length is very much a bigot - and I pray he is yet reachable by you and others like us.
You present as a fundamentally good man, which is believe is much more admirable and needed in this world than a great man. A man of solid values and convictions. That you boasted you are consistent in the application of these convictions is a value in short supply among those who would dare to persuade and lead us. It may even be non-existent among such people. Stand firm, my Brother!
So, two quibbles. Trump is not in any way a boon to the Christian faith, but some of his policies may come to benefit - and indeed, have benefited - men and women of faith, nonetheless.
And pineapple on pizza is essential!
Oh yeah... What is that phrase you keep using? Cape up?

Peace. Be good to yourself.
