    Mike Johnson, as an American evangelical protestant, almost certainly believes that the Catholic Church is the embodiment of the Beast from revelations, and could not care less about Catholic priests in a protest line.

      “Yes they’re definitely The Beast” (proceeds to speedrun lots of anti-Christ activities)

      Every accusation from these types really is a confession, isn’t it? Lol

        Sorry, the guy above you forgot to capitalize American Evangelical, which is rapidly becoming its own denomination. Evangelical churches are all rapidly having to change tack to more and more extreme messaging just to keep congregants, because large portions of the faith want us to go back to Cotton Mather’s fire and brimstone God. Evangelical influencers are largely driving this through social media, which feeds back into a loop that wants you to get more and more extreme.

        American Evangelicalism isn’t about God, Christ, or anything other that justifying hatred towards nonwhites, LGBT people, and anyone to the left of George W Bush. The Bible is convenient window dressing.
