but the NAR has made bedfellows with them because their ideology is similar. It's a fool's errand. Both are horrendous groups, and neither will stomach the other as legitimate if and when they gain National power. To charismatics and fundamentalists, Catholics are idolaters. And I doubt Catholics really have much use for the NAR people, once you start pointing out specific groups like Westboro.

This is going to be the biggest issue raising its head in the next very few years. I dread it. The Witch Wars of the 1980's and the Satanic Panic was bad enough to live through. This will be hundreds of times worse.
