There was this real moment of reckoning in the Catholic Church in the 1960s, in the aftermath of the Holocaust, to try to grapple with
the role the Catholic Church, that Catholic theology had played in fostering anti-Semitism.
And this all happens at the Second Vatican Council.
And one of the documents that comes out of the Second Vatican Council is called Nostra Aetate.
And it's really a re-envisioning of Catholic-Jewish relations.
There are elements of even kind of repentance.
It made a huge impact in mainstream global Catholicism.
The challenge is a lot of these reactionary Catholics that are more affiliated with Opus Dei or the kind of America First influencer crowd, they don't really like this set of modernizing reforms in the 1960s.
They're hoping to push the church back into more of a pre-Vatican II mode.
Bring back Latin.
Yeah, I mean, the Latin mass.
And so it's not coincidental, I think.
They are not Christian Zionists.
That is not their theological orientation.
And so they're not going to go extreme on pro-Israel.
They're going to go extreme on anti-Israel and lean harder into anti-Semitism.
A lot of the America First crowd, they don't even identify with MAGA anymore.
That has become the pro-Israel form of Trump support.
I think it's wrong to think about this as though, oh, America First is the far right and the MAGA establishment is the mainstream right.
It's all far right.
