During an interview on Fox News Tuesday morning, Walz couldn’t wipe a smile off his face as he combatted Bill Hemmer’s wild suggestion that the Democrats had “leapfrogged the entire democratic system” by moving to get behind Harris in the days since Joe Biden dropped out of the race. “Look, the process has always been there, I welcome—if … anybody wants to become a DNC delegate, you’re welcome to. But what I know is, Democrats are ready to move when the situation warrants it,” Walz said. “Look, it doesn’t matter convictionsit doesn’t matter failed policies. Republican...

Top Stories Tamfitronics (RNS) — Nothing could be more different from how America chooses a president and the Catholic Church chooses a pope.America chooses a president every four years, while the Catholic Church chooses a pope only after his predecessor dies or resigns.

Top Stories Tamfitronics (RNS) — Catholics are becoming some of Christian nationalism’s most muscular champions.Most prominently, Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance is a recent Catholic convert tied to Catholic integralisman ideology that seeks Christian influence over society. As RNS’ Jack Jenkins has reportedalthough integralism differs from Christian nationalism on some points, it “shares many of the same policy goals as popular forms of Christian nationalism,” mainly for the government and its policies to be heavily influenced by Christian values. Vance’s recent elevation to the VP slot means this distinctively Catholic brand of Christian nationalism will have a larger platform than ever before.Meanwhile, the Christian nationalist policy blueprint Project 2025 is making waves as Americans learn more about its contents.
