Popes Francis’ papacy makes him one of the most important politicians of our era because,

THE BEATITUDES ARE THE OPPOSITE OF FASCISM

have said numerous times USA’s #1 export is . Bergolio survived and understood that, to fight fascism inside the , he needed a vanguard of bishops like Prevost.

Pope Leo’s homily is a complete rebuke of evangelicals’ supply-side Jesus. USA warmongering is not only an oxymoron. it’s .

No other group of people did as well, even religiously unaffiliated.

Maybe we should listen to them more.

Just a student of history, and interested in the different paths the early Jesus-movement could have taken.

Paul and his followers were mostly to blame for misdirecting the message; they took it out of its very Jewish origin and made it into a Hellenistic mystery religion. After the sack of Jerusalem (70 CE), there was no Jewish foundation left for the Paulinists to have to avoid. They ran with the mystery religion and turned a Jewish (not) messiah into the mythic Christ.
It was all downhill from there. You get people worshiping a quasi-deity, instead of trying to live the message he taught.

And then there were the early "heresies," some of which might have been better directions, if the early "Church" hadn't crushed them (like the Gnostics, and the Gospel of Thomas).

So, reasonably good messages, (from a poor, illiterate Jewish peasant, who had come to some understanding of his world), which were totally convoluted by the so-called Christians.

Psychopaths and their followers, like Pete Hegseth, think calling or a holy war is doing God's business. In fact, he's doing the psychopath's business and calling him a god, which is another of the gravest sins.

People forget/overlook the fact that the historical Jesus (what little is known), was a poor, illiterate peasant, and preached to people of his own class: The poor, the dispossessed, the oppressed, and those who were at the bottom of the social/political hierarchy.

The better off in the area had sold their allegiance to Rome and the Empire. The imperial government executed Jesus for sedition; crucifixion was a common method. All the stuff about the various Jewish factions was invented later, as was so much of the NT.

and how our task is to continue active, peaceful resistance.

"The editor in chief of Christianity Today is warning that evangelical Christianity is moving too far to the right, to the point that even Jesus’s teachings are considered 'weak' now."

Um... that's been happening since at least the 1980s, but yeah, evangelical Christianity today absolutely would be condemned by the actual Jesus along with the Pharisees and Saducees. The Beatitudes are nothing if not woke.
