‘I will be calling this exact strain of right-wing Christofascist dispensational premillennialist apocalyptic evangelical supersessionist covenentalist Biblical-inerrantist evangelicalism that's merged almost fully with right-wing cultural issues and the US civil religion "the US heresy"’
Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!
