A very old trend is making a big comeback among Catholic women—veils. Is the turn toward head coverings rooted in Scripture, a desire for sacred symbols, a longing for traditional womanhood, or is it just a nostalgic fashion trend field by TikTok? A new study says what separates conservatives and liberals is how hierarchically they view the world and the importance of maintaining strict boundaries. And why are very conservative political personalities starting to talk more about Christian theology? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn each offer their explanations. Then, Jemar Tisby is back to talk about his new book, “The Spirit of Justice,” and the remarkable stories of heroic, but largely forgotten, Christians in American history. Also this week—hurricanes are blowing cocaine.

Why is there an effort to act differently in a "sacred space" when we already have the Holy Spirit taking up residence within us?
When what's-his-name makes a provocative statement about female pastors he gets people to repeat the message, as you have done. That promotes him and cements the concept. Just repeating the message cements it in people's minds, even if one repeats it to disagree with it.
I think female pastors bring empathy and tolerance to the pulpit in a way that male pastors can't, even though those were core to Jesus's teachings. Feel free to discuss my opinion on your show!
Thanks again for a great, thought-provoking show.
My sense of the Matt Walsh question is that the fundamentalist wing of the GOP has thoroughly dominated the public expression of conservative politics, and so now it's turning to the other major belief system that controls people's lives -- religion. With these both subdued there will be no resistance to the exercise of pure power by this group. Some people might describe this as preparing the way for authoritarianism / fascism.
In any case, it seems to me that this turning of attention to the religious sphere is not coincidental.
