    Jeet Heer Retweeted Ross Douthat

    Did the project fail? The reactionary right now has 5 Supreme Court Justices who are shaped by conservative Catholicism. Evangelicals are more important than ever to GOP coalition. So much of Catholic integralism rests on claims of defeat that are hard to square with reality.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1136649226849574912 …

    The religious-conservative project from, let's say, 1980-2008 envisioned creating a new semi-establishment that would be Catholic-Evangelical-Jewish instead of Protestant-Catholic-Jew. That project did not succeed.

        He means the project didn't keep queer people out of the public sphere and enjoying a modicum of civil rights

        That ‘culture runs downstream from politics’ line explains a lot, I think. To cons, losing the culture war was the decisive defeat, and any legal victories are stopgaps.

        Here is the problem, you treat this moron as intellectual force, a genial interlocutor, and he is neither. He’d force religion down the throat of everyone if he could, and would eagerly embrace whatever means to do. He should be treated with contempt, yet it’s collegial horseshit

        That's a recipe for bad journalism.

        The GOP doesn’t care about the values of evangelicals. (The leaders don’t live those values which proves that.) They just want to keep ANYTHING that will divide the citizenry so we don’t band together to vote out corrupt politicians who serve their donors not their constituents.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        @DouthatNYT is engaged in misdirection. Catholic integralism is based on a core claim: the Church has the authority to commandeer the power of the secular state to enforce the Church’s view on fundamental moral issues. In current context, those issues are abortion and marriage.

        Replying to @MEHerlihy @HeerJeet @DouthatNYT

        It's irrelevant to abortion, where permissive policy is "liberal" only in the sense that anti-abolitionism was "liberal." On marriage, the court is not going to reverse course. (Perhaps not abortion, either, though that's probably more up for grabs.)

        Catholics are easy to confirm. Impressive educational credentials, unlike evangelical know-nothings, conservative, misogynistic, and still able to play the victim of religious bigotry if needed.

        Either way, it amazes me that Catholics care so little in this country for the indefinite detention and kidnapping of the children of their fellow Catholics. If Syria did to Catholics what Trump is doing to Catholic asylum seekers they'd be in the streets. #CatholicTwitter
