The Day Conservatives Turned on the Pope

About this sermon

“Conservatives are people of principle, not liberals from two decades ago.” Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help In this video, I break down the supposed feud between Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV—and explain why much of what people believe about it is simply false. More importantly, I challenge the modern understanding of “conservatism” and argue that many who claim the label today—including Trump—don’t actually meet its historical or philosophical standard.
