Recently, a friend shared with me the correspondence he had had with a former female classmate now an Episcopal priestess in New York, over what she called “white supremacy” and “toxic masculinity,” and asked what I thought. After reading the exchanges, my response was very simple: given the ideological assumptions real discussion of those issues with her was probably not possible, barring some Road to Damascus conversion.
Of course, the views of my friend’s acquaintance are widely held among Christians these days, and not just among more leftist Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Methodist clergy, and their respective congregrations. The Catholic Church, once the unbreachable bastion of theological and social traditionalism, has in large part, certainly since Vatican II (1965), succumbed to a leftward march—with some notable exceptions (e.g., Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the Society of St. Pius X, The Remnant newspaper, etc.). And even among Evangelicals who are thought to be conservatives not only in theology and cultural matters but in social polity, wide fissures have occurred.

Today's so-called Christians ought to reflect on this scripture, as it definitely applies to them:
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
Matthew 12:26 KJV
The churches have welcomed Satan into their midst, and his kingdom stands BECAUSE they squabble among themselves and with secular authority. If Christianity collapses, they will have played a major part in its demise.
By the way, nearly all "Christian" churches in America did NOTHING to stop slavery, racism, so-called white supremacy, warmongering, or toxic masculinity while this country was in its ascendancy. Why are they protesting such things now, other than in affirmation of their cowardice to stand up to Satan's wiles?
