Critics see the task force initiative as unnecessary and pandering to Trump’s base. But some Christian supporters said it is overdue, claiming the Biden administration had discriminated against them through actions and inactions.

The two-year task force, chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi and composed of Cabinet and other government representatives, is assigned to review and “identify any unlawful anti-Christian” actions under the Biden administration, change any objectionable policies and recommend steps to rectify any past failures.

Bruce Ledewitz, a law professor at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, criticized the mindset behind the executive order as that of a powerful group claiming victimhood.

The Christian conservative movement — a core Republican constituency — now has significant sway on the Supreme Court and in numerous states, Congress and the presidency, Ledewitz said. And still, they declare, “We are victims,” he said.

    Great respect for Dorothy Day, and any of the several people attempting to actually follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

      Yeah I have mixed feelings on Blessed Day (ok her current title is excellent), because on one hand if she wasn’t left wing she’d be a saint by now. But on the other hand

      Don’t call me a saint, I don’t want to be dismissed that easily

      I still have strong opinions on catholicism as is my right as someone who’s an apostate to it. And the fact is that the catholic workers are some of the best leftists you’ll get if you want people do do some good praxis but don’t mind them turning themselves in to the cops or actively not talking about abortion.
