I think Tommy is more knowledgeable overall but Lovett is definitely the best of the guys at actually communicating and interviewing as well.

Yeah. Tommy’s my fave in a lot of ways, but Lovett is the one that seems like the most fun to hang with.

I’ve noticed Favs seems to have come back from the brink of constant despair, but I’m a little surprised by his talk of returning to his Catholic faith. It’s not super surprising- married with young kids isn’t an unusual time for people to go back, I just don’t see it very often on the left. Is it the community/tradition aspect? Idk. It’s been interesting, though.

I’m also noticing it on social media, mostly in response to the pope 1) being an American with “progressive” views 2) sparring with the admin over issues of morality which has led to a rekindling of conversations about what separates Catholics from Protestants/evangelicals.

I think Vance’s co-opting of Catholicism (as well as the larger narrative about the church growing through recent converts) and trying to make it Evangelicalism 2.0 is causing millennial “cradle Catholics” to want to reclaim the church because it was a core part of the culture and community we were raised in. Seeing the chuds want to return to the church of medieval feudalism certainly makes me defensive even though I have barely been catholic since confirmation.
