Left-leaning journalists in 2024 are on a crusade against religious institutions in America, especially Catholic institutions.

Some, motivated by zealous secularism, are trying to drive religion out of the public square. Lying beneath this, though, is a totalizing and flattening mindset combined with social liberalism. They see that the government and the media have broadly rejected traditional morality — especially as it regards marriage, sex, sexuality, and family — and they are upset that some of us holdouts are not getting on board.
