Since President Donald Trump's election, monthly lectures on social justice at the 600-seat Gothic chapel of New York's Union Theological Seminary have been filled to capacity with crowds three times what they usually draw.

In January, the 181-year-old Upper Manhattan graduate school, whose architecture evokes London's Westminster Abbey, turned away about 1,000 people from a lecture on mass incarceration. In the nine years that Reverend Serene Jones has served as its president, she has never seen such crowds.

Nothing more than just the Churches of Satan gathering an alliance together to combat the Real Church of Jesus Christ.

That they ally themselves with Buddhists, Muslims, and Atheists is all you really need to know.

Don’t Buddhists stand aside from this sort of politics?

“Religious Left” = Marxists who aren’t smart enough to know they’re Marxists

These clowns were emerging when obama was president.

Even the LGBTQs has been using religion to deceitfully push their agenda.

Their religion is political correctness—morality that comes from man, not God. A worldly system with a false god leading it.

Yes, that was my reaction before I read your comment. Satanism is flourishing.

At least they didn’t try to pass them off as Christians.

They may just succeed with so many on the “right” supporting the protection of overwhelming numbers of welfare babies and the reluctance of sterilizing the criminal parents.

That’s what they said 10 years ago. They keep recycling this story, like “Arizona and Georgia are up for grabs!”

The Catholic Church is the furthest from being progressive, despite what some Catholics say and do.

Your Pope is the most liberal of all of these apostates.

You deny that? Half of FR Catholics hate him.

Social justice warriors are authoritarian liberals that classic liberals can’t bring themselves to constrain. They have the same strict black/white morality more often associated with religious fundamentalists, but couch everything in the language of fairness and egalitarianism. It is communitarianism married to strict ingroup/outgroup identification all while screaming no one can exclude me or question me.

Christian left - yeah that is, but Religious left not really.

You have to be “religious” to believe in half the bunk they push, from global warming to unending welfare & immigration for Islamic-Caliphate-Sharia murdering Muslims.
