re: #124 Backwoods_Sleuth

Steve Bannon is a Catholic. I wonder if a suggestion of excommunication to the Twitter account Pontifex would be in order?

Get a load of this tripe from the National Catholic Reporter:

The religious left may be happy now that Steve Bannon is gone from the White House, but they may want to think again. True, he was the political strategist that helped Trump gain the White House by attacking immigration, affirmative action, and government spending for the poor. And Bannon described the news outlet that he now runs again, Breitbart News, as a medium for the alt-right.

But what the religious left forgets is that on some issues, Bannon and they are in agreement and now his voice has been silenced in the White House. His ouster may have been a victory for a more inclusive America, but in the internal politics of the Republican Party it also signals the triumph of the corporate and interventionist wings of the party, which should scare the religious left. And in another sign of the end of the Bannon era, his ally Sebastian Gorka, a deputy assistant to the president, has been forced out, news reports said.

The piece is titled “The religious left is going to miss Steve Bannon” from 2017.

I wonder how they feel about that now? It was written by an author for Religion News Service. That organisation was bought by a Methodist outlet in 1983, then sold to a group of religious newswriters as an LLC in 2011.

They are allegedly a non-partisan religious news reporting service.
