Faith Is Not Hate

There is an outrageous article in The Atlantic alleging that the Catholic rosary is now a hate symbol. The author refers to the rosary as “beads of battle.”

There’s a temptation to dismiss this as just the rantings of another left-wing nut writing for a left-wing media outlet. But this isn’t just another case of anti-religious bigotry by the left.

Remember the New York Times reporter who ventured out into the suburbs and was “disturbed” by the displays of American flags on pickup trucks?

Many symbols of normal America -- our national flag, the Betsy Ross flag, other patriotic symbols and now symbols of faith -- are under attack by a coordinated, powerful effort to turn these symbols into something despicable, that no decent person would want to display. The Biden FBI has declared some of these patriotic symbols to be markers of “extremism.”

The Atlantic article also suggests the rosary is a symbol of Christian nationalism and that conservative Catholics are an integral part of the Christian nationalist movement.

Well, a Christian is someone who loves Jesus, and a nationalist/patriot is someone who loves America. For corrupt leftists in our country, loving Jesus and loving America are the worst things imaginable! 

So, we must be mocked and shamed in the hope of intimidating others from expressing their love of God and Country.
