Found the video of Francis Collins talking about how he stopped worrying and learned to love grisly abortion research (Christian Post interviewer doesn't use the "A" word, just "fetal tissue")
Cont'd:
Q: Do you use prayer in helping you getting there?
A: Absolutely...There's something about being deeply in prayer about an issue, especially if you sort of tie it in to God's work.
Finally, a clearly scripted question to help Francis clean up the mess after he was busted lying about NIH funding gain-of-function research.
No questions about the Pride Month announcement...

"Right-wing evangelicals...They've maimed and killed Mexicans, Asians, black folks in the name of Christ, and they're still doing it...They're imbued with the spirit of antichrist...Many of them have called Trump Messiah."

"You talk about how a part of that Christian supremacist strategy has literally been a White House Bible study led by @ralphdrollinger...how is that dangerous?"
"He takes Matthew 28 and...reads that as: go forth and, really, subjugate them and make them Christians."
again, there appear to be some skips in the video that are inherent to their own stream, I'm not doing any edits aside from the start and end of each clip
DTS update: Chapel speaker Frank Glover intros students to Kimpa Vita, lionizing her without noting syncretist controversies (🧵 incoming).
Off the bat, he says of her: "Before Luther or before Calvin, there was a revolution." Both men died 100+ years before she was born.
It's hard to find trustworthy sources on this online, but from the Met Museum we see that Kimpa Vita, aka Dona Beatriz, was trained as a medium for spirits. Glover notes in his speech she claimed direct revelation from God. metmuseum.org/toah/hd/pwmn_4…
You can also see in this screenshot that Kimpa Vita believed, based on her direct revelation, that Jesus was born and baptized in the Kongo.
Lutheran Rev. says 1st use of the law = yes to vax mandates
"Government...[is] meant to act like a good parent would over the people of the nation. That includes the application of medicine. I would say, since we do believe that illness + death are fundamentally not good things"
Including some more setup before we get to his main argument, since it is sincere and not just a hot take.
"Doctors function kind of as civil servants. They do first use of the law stuff"
<the edits and aspect ratio change are inherent to the original vid>
"I think we should understand that the government actually has a theological right to do this...I don't think it's authoritarian to make people get a vaccine any more than it's authoritarian to make a person drive on the right side of the road."
