Top Catholic bishop calls wokeness and identity politics 'pseudo-religions'

The leading Catholic bishop in the United States admonished the growing interest in intersectionality and identity politics, saying they are “pseudo-religions.”

Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, said “America’s new political religions” of “wokeness,” “intersectionality,” and “identity politics,” among others, “claim to offer what religion provides.” He delivered the remarks via video on Thursday to the Congress of Catholics and Public Life as it met in Madrid that day.
