With both the Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and more genteel post-liberal commentators calling for their own religious views to be imposed on others, traditional conservatives and Christians must speak up. The state has no business using coercion in matters of conscience, as the Catholic Church itself has long made clear.

WASHINGTON, DC – The Holocaust-denying, Hitler-admiring, white nationalist Nick Fuentes recently called for authoritarian “Catholic Taliban rule” in the United States, and though it is tempting to ignore such provocations, that would be imprudent. According to insiders in Donald Trump’s MAGA movement, Fuentes’s influence with young Republicans is large and only growing. Right-thinking conservatives – particularly Catholics – must be prepared to argue against his noxious views.
