The Bishops, the Billionaires, and the Catholic Far-Right
Guest Mary Jo McConahay delves into the powerful influence of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops aligning with right-wing contributors like the Kochs. They wage war on democratic norms and institutions, attacking secular democracy. The bishops' conservative stance on communion, abortion, and Christian nationalism diverges from Pope Francis. Billionaires like the Koch family play a significant role in promoting traditionalist values, while Jenny Thomas' influence in far-right religious circles is explored.
