It wouldn’t surprise me if the Ukraine War has something to do with it...basically attempting to discredit the Russian government’s embrace of the Orthodox Church, while the church there supports the government (instead of trafficking Illegals, for example, or calling for ‘Climate Justice’).
They fear something similar in the US. The major churches here finally rid themselves of the hate-America infiltrators that have climbed through their ranks and unify in support of a MAGA-style of governance (election integrity, Second Amendment, ending involvement in wars around the world, taking back education from the pervs, taking back the First Amendment from the tech companies).
And that is something that should scare the crap out of the Left.
“ It wouldn’t surprise me if the Ukraine War has something to do with it..”
Believe it or not, much of the hatred for Christianity today by the average leftist is due to our positions on abortion and homosex. This all got stirred up by the idea that man can communicate with God, and doesn’t need to go through the government to do so. The globalists need you to depend on them, not on your own resources. They stimulate the emotionally feeble into rising up to do their bidding.
