RE: https://mastodon.social/@mattsheffield/116421946950718542 Can confirm from decades of first-hand experience. "Unlike the Catholic Church, which made its accommodation with modernity through the Second Vatican Council, reactionary Protestant Evangelicalism never did. Beginning with the international humiliation of the “Scopes Monkey Trial” of the 1920s, it has instead spent decades in a state of escalating apocalyptic siege mentality, convinced it is fighting against the literal forces of Satan before the Second Coming of Christ — losing cultural ground daily, and knowing it."
