"A Presbyterian seminarian, Talarico has gained national attention for using his theological background to criticize Chrisian nationalism, condemning it as a 'betrayal of Jesus of Nazareth,' because it 'worships power in the name of Christ.' Talarico urges MAGA to look at themselves and realize that chasing power at all costs is wrong."

"Taking on Trump’s far right base, Talarico rails about the shameful gulf between the teachings of Christ and the suffering Trump is inflicting on the nation and the world.
Talarico notes that MAGA, while hewing to a self-proclaimed Christian identity, doesn’t seem to mind that Trump is building concentration camps to cage people who haven’t committed a crime."

"They also overlook that Trump’s ICE is throwing senior citizens to the pavement, dragging people from their cars, and breaking into homes without a search warrant. They don’t care that his agents are murdering peaceful US protestors and Venezuelans in fishing boats that cannot, due to size and distance, make it to US shores and therefore cannot be posing a direct threat."

"The alleged censorship of Talarico’s interview suggests a dangerous attack on both free expression and religious pluralism. The Christian nationalist agenda advocates against a diversity of Christian experience, contradicting and threatening kindness and justice as key tenets of our faith."

Asked about Pope Leo's refusal to join Trump's "Board of Peace," his press secretary Karoline Leavitt, educated from grade school through college in Catholic schools and known for wearing an ostentatious cross while prevaricating boldly, stated,
"It’s deeply unfortunate. I don’t think that peace should be partisan, or political, or controversial."
