Organizers of today’s “Let the Church ROAR” rally include conservatives from different branches of Christianity. One right-wing Catholic set to speak is “traditionalist” Taylor Marshall, an author, YouTuber, and member of the advisory board of Catholics for Trump. (thread)
When a Catholic priest drew criticism for declaring that it was not possible for a Catholic to be a Democrat—as Joe Biden was on his way to become the second Catholic U.S. president—Marshall called the priest a “hero.”
Marshall figured prominently in @kathrynajoyce @VanityFair article “Deep State, Deep Church: How QAnon and Trumpism Have Infected the Catholic Church” vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/h…
Joyce noted that after getting “red pilled,” Marshall “became increasingly enmeshed in far-right politics, saying things like Muslims ‘must convert or be wiped off the face of the earth.’”
In his book “Infiltration,” Marshall claimed that the Catholic Church has been infiltrated by communists and Freemasons in a bid for world domination. The book’s conspiracy mongering was a bridge too far even for many conservative Catholics. catholicculture.org/commentary/inf…
At one point, Marshall even blamed COVID-19 on Pope Francis during a controversy over conservatives’ claims that an Amazon synod promoted idolatry. ncronline.org/news/opinion/d…
Shortly before the election, Marshall prayed at a Trump rally that God would grant Trump victory, and he read a message from far-right Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò at a pro-Trump Supreme Court rally in November.

Right-wing Orthodox Christians are part of today’s “Let the Church ROAR” rally put on by “Stop the Steal” organizers, Trump administration staffers, and other right-wing activists. George Michalopulos, who blogs at Monomakhos, is listed as a speaker. rightwingwatch.org/post/right-win…
Michalopulos reposted a comment from Roosh V’s Twitter feed calling on Trump to refuse to step down, use the military to “crush his enemies,” and “use his authority under the Insurrection Act to arrest and/or kill everyone who participated in this plot.” monomakhos.com/one-of-the-gre…
“It really says it all, doesn’t it,” Michalopoulos wrote admiringly of the call for Trump to arrest leaders of the Democratic Party and Big Tech and “everyone of significance in the mainstream media.”

After a long wait, pro-Trump protesters at the Supreme Court cheer and chant at the arrival of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who has called on Trump to declare martial law rather than admit that he was defeated by Joe Biden
Flynn calls this "a crucible moment in our history" and tells people not to be too "bent out of shape" at recent SCOTUS rejection of Texas case, because there are still avenues being pursued.
Flynn says the Supreme Court doesn't decide who will be president, telling people they have to "demand" that state legislatures step up.

A motley group of religious-right leaders, right-wing activists, and Republican officials are descending on Washington, D.C. Saturday for overlapping and competing events meant to keep Trump in the White House. Here’s a quick guide (thread).
“Let the Church ROAR,” a “prayer rally” on the National Mall, is being promoted by “Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander, Phyllis Schlafly acolyte Ed Martin, and organizers of “Jericho Marches” that have been taking place at state capitols. rightwingwatch.org/post/right-win…
In the morning, “Jericho March” activists will circle the US Capitol, Supreme Court, and Dept of Justice seven times, an allusion to a Bible story about God bringing the walls of Jericho down after the Israelite army marched around the city for seven days jerichomarch.org

Let's begin with MAGA life coach Brenden Dilley, brimming with confidence the day before the election as he predicted a 45 state landslide for Trump.
And here is Dilley guaranteeing that Democrats "are going to get their asses kicked on Nov. 3"

Time for a thread about anti-Semitism, the Trump White House, and Christian media
The Christian Broadcasting Network is promoting an interview with Mike Pence in which the VP denounces anti-Semitic rhetoric, which he claims has been heard “in the halls of Congress” and “has not been roundly and universally condemned, as it should be.” www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/politi…
“For people to traffic in anti-Semitic slurs and tropes and not be held to account for that, it’s just not acceptable,” Pence told CBN, calling for "constant vigilance" against the danger "allowing anti-Semitic rhetoric, let alone violence, to take place in our society”
