In part two of my interview with Dr. Chelsea Ebin, we dig deeper into how radical strains of Catholicism have influenced American politics, particularly through figures like JD Vance and historical activists such as Connie Marschner. Our conversation explores how these groups have long pushed to use government power to enforce conservative Christian values, especially around issues of family and gender. Dr. Ebin and I unpack the strategies that have been deployed over decades to shape societal norms and how these efforts connect to current political movements aiming for a theocratic state.
We also discuss the complexities of single-issue voting, diving into how this dynamic plays out among conservative Catholics and Protestants. Dr. Ebin brings great insights into the potential tensions between these groups, despite their shared goals of enforcing a conservative moral vision. It’s a fascinating conversation that highlights the intersection of religion and politics in shaping the landscape of contemporary America.
