We do not engage with bad actors such as HHC and other antifa as a matter of policy. Regarding the specific issue raised in the linked article about the Hitler speech, as he himself notes, our translator's intro explains that due to the length of Hitler's spoken word, he made some omissions for brevity which do not substantively change the meaning. This is can be seen in the very example given, supposedly maliciously excluded by us. Speaking as a Christian, I don't see anything intrinsically anti Christian in the statement. In fact, Hitler specifically says that the Jew "made use of Christianity - NOT OUT OF LOVE FOR Christianity" (emphasis added), as well as saying that Jews did not become true Christians in this process - in whole, it is a statement about Jewish subversion of institutional Christianity, something which anyone should be able to admit happens today and has frequently happened throughout history. So the claim that we would have intentionally excluded it in order specifically to make Hitler seem more pro-Christian is visibly false on its own terms. If you have any other concerns about us, you can always reach out directly through email or (twitter) dm (pls don't use substack dms). Best, Taylor.
Thank you, I so appreciate your clarification and approachability on the matter. If there are any issues you have with my coverage, open communication is encouraged on your end as well!
Very interesting. Interesting read. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
I have no clue who Brian Suave is, which isn’t unusual as I survey places like Substack where debates over “Christian celebrities” I’ve never heard of rage on. Like other things, social media tends to confer exaggerated influence on these figures.
I had no idea who Doug Wilson was either until a few months ago. He certainly has had zero impact on my life even as shrill progressives want to call me a “Christian Nationalist,” whatever THAT means (it clearly means different things to different people, and I definitely know I’m not one of those, nor do I know anyone in my conservative Christian circles who is). It is a progressive boogeyman creation.
Let me just say a couple things. I think the church and Christendom in general would be far better served if we each focused our energies where our feet are — God put us in a place at a time for a reason, and there are many local churches who are hurting and dying or just plain feckless.
When we start surveying the horizon for other people’s “errors” as our primary contribution to the church, I think we get distracted from making sure our local worship house is in order. And there is much work to do in our local churches.
There was a lot of reference to “Protestantism” as a “denomination” in your article, which I find curious. Protestantism — unlike Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy — is not monolithic. It is not a denomination in and of itself but holds numerous denominations within the pale of its definition. That may not matter for the purposes of your points, but I think it might. Those references distracted me.
I’m a PCA Presbyterian (the conservative Presbyterian denomination).
If you attend a USA Presbyterian church, which is much more liberal and progressive, you might not even feel like it’s the same religion even though they are both nominally referred to as “Presbyterian.” And of course Presbyterianism is within the pale of Protestantism.
I think church government is important. Giant nondenominational churches have a lot of problems with governance and oversight and often are personality driven more than doctrinally driven.
This is a problem exacerbated by social media and the celebrity status that comes with it.
And this drift is the kind of thing that attracts people in increasing numbers to Catholicism and Orthodoxy, despite their very serious doctrinal problems. There is a long history, stability, and consistent liturgy in each that appeals to people. And there is (illusory) certainty in the authority of the church itself and its leader.
That consistency and clear hierarchal authority projects stability.
Protestantism has denominations (such as mine) with very clear church order, government, catechisms, liturgy, and sound doctrine. But not everyone even realizes this. They see giant mega-churches and fly by night churches naming themselves things like “The Gathering” and “The Harvest” and think that’s what Protestantism is as a whole. Personality driven churches instead of doctrinally driven via God’s word.
I just think that’s the kind of thing that drives this sort of phenomenon.
I am honestly just whining. I’m really frustrated with the decline of America, but humans have survived worse conditions and still, God is good. But you did make me laugh when you said the Gathering and the Harvest.
Btw if you want to add accents on keyboard just click and hold the letter you want to add it over and it should open a little tab over it that gives you options!!
Protestantism was born of schism and is schismatic by nature. Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic church, under the leadership of the first American Pope, has had a blessing of a rainbow flag-painted cross in St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. Enough said there. Orthodoxy is the way to go., just ask Rachel Wilson.

Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

😂Good! That was my intent!

By definition, Catholics are not a denomination: they are the original one true holy apostolic church from which all others split off or protested.

"Jesus himself was antisemitic by today’s standards" an article expounding on this claim would be excellent ! lol
What’s wrong with Allie Beth Stuckey?
I think she’s very femininely-biased. I would prefer to listen to women with more humility.
