CV NEWS FEED // Catholic scholar Tim Carney took to X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend to give a few examples of how Democratic officials and their media allies are “waging a religious crusade against pro-life and Catholic institutions” throughout the country.
Carney cited an X post by a reporter for the left-leaning news source ProPublica which depicted a Massachusetts billboard attacking pro-life pregnancy resource centers (PRCs).
The ProPublica reporter indicated that such anti-PRC billboards “are all over Western [Massachusetts] now.”
In large capital letters, the billboard warns passersby to “AVOID” what it calls “Anti-Abortion Centers.”
“They MISLEAD you about your options if you’re pregnant,” the billboard states.
The billboard also instructs pregnant women to “Get the care you can trust” and provides a link to a pro-abortion page on the Massachusetts state government’s website. The webpage contains a link to search for abortion facilities in the state.
Governments all over the country, including Biden's DOJ, are waging a religious crusade against pro-life and Catholic institutions. Some in the media are part of this crusade. (Politico's "christian nationalism" reporter, for one.) It's terrifying. https://t.co/VtRG6kKVAQ — Tim Carney (@TPCarney) July 6, 2024
In his series of X posts, Carney also pointed out that the political left are currently fixated on combatting so-called “Christian nationalists” – to the extent that several mainstream media sources have run multiple stories taking aim at Americans who embrace Christian morality.
While opposition to so-called “Christian nationalism” has emerged as a popular leftist talking point in recent years, the left has been criticized for using the term too liberally and failing to define it.
“They come after nuns, they come after clinics that help pregnant women, they will come after Catholic schools, they come after Catholic hospitals,” wrote Carney. “The ‘Christian Nationalism’ to which they object is that Christian institutions exist at all. They believe that religion has no place in America.”
Carney pointed out an article that The New York Times ran on the Fourth of July under the headline “Your Religious Values Are Not American Values.”
The article’s header image seemed to explicitly target Catholic Americans. It was an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary wearing an American flag under her mantle.

Columnist Pamela Paul wrote in the article: “Whenever a politician cites ‘Judeo-Christian values,’ I find it’s generally followed by something unsettling.”
“Despite what the Christian nationalist movement would have you believe, America was not founded as a Christian nation,” Paul claimed. “Nor is it one today.”
In a post Carney cited, Catholic writer John Hasson called Paul’s piece “[c]asual anti-Catholic bigotry.”
Because we should know what these hellspawn look like. Be able to recognize them on sight.
Any more we know what they look like, we can’t tell if they are a man or a woman.
