What happens when ancient Christian doctrine is rebranded as modern “hate speech”?

In this episode of The Ordinary Catholic Podcast, we examine recent federal committee hearings on antisemitism and religious liberty and the growing reality many Christians now face: orthodox belief is being treated as a social and political crime.

We confront how accusations of antisemitism are being loosely defined and weaponized, not to stop hatred, but to silence theology, punish dissent, and enforce ideological loyalty…even when that loyalty conflicts with historic Christian teaching.

This episode explores:

* What antisemitism actually is — and what it is not

* Why truthful speech and theology are not hate

* How cancel culture now speaks in religious language

* The attacks on Catholics who refuse to bow, including recent calls to remove Carrie Prejean Boller from a federal commission

* Why Christ’s words in Matthew 21 leave no middle ground

* How the Catholic Mass fulfills Zion…not politically, but sacramentally

This is not Catholics versus non-Catholics. It’s not Jew versus Gentile. And it’s not left versus right.

It’s about whether Christ is still allowed to be King — over nations, ideologies, and power itself.
