An Iowa city council opened with a prayer to Satan. John-Henry Westen uses the moment to criticize what he describes as a distorted understanding of religious freedom, one that treats Christianity’s historical role in America as equivalent to false religions. The inversion is not accidental. It is the logical outcome of a society that has abandoned the truth.
John-Henry then takes a look at the Vatican, where he condemns comments attributed to a prominent Vatican nun suggesting Jesus was “flirting” with the woman at the well, an inappropriate sexualization of Christ. Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV has appointed a nun who has promoted women’s ordination to a Vatican leadership position. The appointments continue. The agenda advances.
The roundup extends to a Milwaukee Catholic parish hosting a female Lutheran minister to discuss making the Church more LGBTQ-friendly, and a priest whose pro-LGBT social media presence includes dancing before an altar. A satanic prayer opens a city council. A Vatican nun sexualizes Christ. A Pope appoints a women’s ordination advocate. A priest dances before the altar. The pattern is unmistakable: the boundaries of Catholic identity are being redrawn. The question is whether anyone will stop it, or whether the faithful will have to do it themselves.
