Leftist editor fired after pulling anti-Catholic hate op-ed
A progressive, evangelical, Soros-fundedmagazine is fracturing after the editor-in-chief took down a factually incorrect op-ed accusing American Catholics of harboring "the most dangerous neo-Nazi groups in existence."
Spiritual adviser to former president Barack Obama and Sojourners' chief editor Jim Wallis was fired Aug. 14 for pulling the op-ed titled "The Catholic Church has a Visible White-Power Faction," written by Eric Martin, lecturer in religion at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Martin's piece was also published in the August print edition of the magazine under the headline "[url=https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/Harboring a Culture of Hate | Sojournerssojo.net › magazine › august-2020 › harboring-culture-...]Harboring a Culture of Hate[/url]" but expunged from the website after a backlash from unnamed Catholic leaders. The anti-Catholic op-ed accuses the U.S. bishops' conference (USCCB) of failing to condemn — in its 2018 pastoral letter against racism, "Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love" — the imagery of swastikas, Confederate flags and nooses.
