Quillette (where else?)
Great insight. Jews are a cohesive group based more on ancestry, history and culture (and persecution) than creed. My dad was a Jewish atheist, and every Jew gets what that means. Christianity is primarily creedal. It transcends culture. I don’t know any Christian atheists.

Lind on Critical Theory
Critical Race Theory
and
Critical race theory is a subset of critical theory, which in turn is a central element in cultural Marxism. Like the bulk of that hideous ideology, it was created by the Frankfurt School, formally the Institute for Social Research, a Marxist think-tank founded in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1923 (it still exists). When Hitler came to power, the Frankfurt School relocated to New York City, where it remained until 1947 when it returned to Frankfurt.
The Frankfurt School translated Marxism from economic into cultural terms. The Frankfurt School’s primary goal was to destroy Western culture, which it defined as “oppressive”. Critical theory is a tool to that end.
and
Critical theory now wells up around us in many different forms. Feminism endlessly criticizes the family, marriage, and traditional definitions of men’s and women’s roles. Education theory demands children be taught certain “attitudes”, including disrespect for parents and elders, rather than skills or facts. Critical race theory says that all whites are inherently evil “racists” and “oppressors”, regardless of what individuals do. It demands whites grovel at the feet of blacks, endlessly apologizing for “discrimination” and “white privilege”. Even if whites do what it demands, critical race theory continues to denounce them. Like the rest of critical theory, its demands can never be satisfied, because then the criticism would end. Remember, the theory is to criticize, endlessly, relentlessly, until any defenders of Western culture or traditional ways of living are silenced, “cancelled” or liquidated.
Feminism at the Service of Oligarchs
There can be no work without care. Gender justice is worker justice is economic justice is care. This is why we need cooperative economics and worker-ownership. https://t.co/MJvBpJV1Sn

Pope Francis: “What we have to create is a civil union law,” he said. “That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that."https://t.co/wscr7u3HRZ
Pope Francis's support for same-sex civil unions is a major step forward in the church's support of LGBTQ people. It is in keeping with his pastoral approach to LGBT people, including LGBT Catholics, and sends a strong signal to countries where the church has opposed such laws.
— James Martin, SJ (@JamesMartinSJ) October 21, 2020
What makes Pope Francis comments supporting same-sex civil unions today so momentous? First, he is saying them as Pope, not Archbishop of Buenos Aires. Second, he is clearly supporting, not simply tolerating, civil unions. Third, he is saying it on camera, not privately. Historic
— James Martin, SJ (@JamesMartinSJ) October 21, 2020
To journalists who are asking: What @Pontifex said during our audience last year remains private at his request (so we could speak freely) but I can say we spent 30 minutes discussing #LGBT people. Francis was warm, open and attentive; and I felt inspired, consoled and encouraged
— James Martin, SJ (@JamesMartinSJ) October 21, 2020

Pope Francis saying he supports same-sex civil unions is “momentous,” says @JamesMartinSJ. “He’s creating a new space for LGBT people… He’s saying it on the record and he’s being very clear. It’s not simply that he’s tolerating it – he’s supporting it.” pic.twitter.com/27g2qCxFxU

For those who think the Pope's comments about same-sex civil unions are no big deal: Perhaps in the US or Western Europe. But in places like Poland, where some bishops are virulently anti-LGBT; or Uganda, where bishops side with laws criminalizing homosexuality, it's a big deal.
