Catholic Confederates
Xenophobia, Patriarchy, and Anti-Semitism in Trad Spaces
Brad speaks with Rebbecca Bratten Weiss, a reporter for US Catholic magazine and a contributor to the National Catholic Reporter. They revisit the issue of Trad Catholics. The discussion focuses on a number of troubling themes found in trad Catholic communities:
- Anti-semitism
- Militant patriarchy
- A longing for the Confederacy
- Xenophobia
One of the biggest takeaways from the interivew is that the longing for "traditional" worship services is often a repository for retrograde approaches to family, gender, sex, and social order. The problem isn't the Latin, but it's a good host for other troubling phenomena.
