Vanity Fair wrote a piece, saying, “Behind the Catholic Right’s Celebrity-Conversion Industrial Complex.”
The subhead is “From Russell Brand to JD Vance to Candace Owens, what happens when the Catholic Church chases influencers—and their legions of followers—down the rabbit hole of the right?”
Here’s my rules. If Vanity Fair is upset at the Catholic Church, something good is happening in the world. That seems like a good rule.
VF clearly thinks this is all political because they’re moral morons. Politics is downstream of religion. But for them, everything is politics and religion itself bows down in subservience to party affiliation.
They also seem to think its dangerous for men to act like…well…men. So yeah, there’s that.
I just think that we’ve been playing Cultural Jenga long enough and people have caught on that this whole thing is about to collapse unless we figure out what our foundation is. And guess what it is. Yup. It’s the Church. Even atheists are calling themselves “cultural Christians” now for fear of the woke brigade tearing everything apart.
Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. That is the only thing that can be built on. The more people accept that, the quicker we can get to re-building our shaky culture.

sounds like the left…. when it is scared… it’s trying to emotionally ‘vaccinate’ their believers from the awesome power of the church. they used every buzzword they cohort cream into the lede.

Traditionalist seekers are attracted to the Truth, Goodness, and Beauty of Christ in His Church and the fellowship of other flawed souls traveling the same path.
The left confuses Christian charity with socialism and is more interested in the gospel of Marx rather than that of Mark. Conservative politics shouldn’t be confused with traditional Christianity, though a quick glance at the two political parties’ platforms makes it very clear which is acceptable and which is not.
Besides, as Chesterton said: “Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian.” Who wouldn’t want to join the uproarious Banquet of the Lamb rather than bitter dregs of the left?
