Thanks to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Loonytoonia) and other Republican thought leaders, I've recently learned things that weren't included in my Catholic upbringing. |
For starters, being kind to migrants is bad, and those who help migrants are likely being controlled by Satan. |
In a recent interview, Greene spoke with Michael Voris of Church Militant, my go-to website for information about "spiritual warfare" and headlines like "Marjorie for Pope." Voris brought up Catholic groups that help with refugee resettlement, complaining, in a tone that suggested someone was waving a liberal baby's diaper under his nose, how they all say things like, "Oh, we have to love the family and all that." |
