Of course if McConnell had voted to impeach Trump 4 years ago this might have gone away.

For an end-of-the-year post, I went back through my Substack archives to see my most popular pieces from 2024. I wanted to share the most popular one again. It's about ecclesiastical gaslighting: the disconnect between what we say we confess & what in practice we often actually do. ⚓
