James Talarico delivers a sermon addressing the dangers of Christian Nationalism, defining it as the worship of power in the name of Christ and a betrayal of Jesus's teachings. He contrasts Christian Nationalism with the core tenets of Christianity, arguing that while Jesus includes, liberates, and saves, Christian Nationalism excludes, controls, and kills. Talarico traces the historical roots of Christian Nationalism to Emperor Constantine and criticizes its modern manifestations, such as the January 6th Capitol attack and the overturning of Roe v. Wade. He emphasizes Jesus's message of love, shared power, and prioritizing the poor and marginalized, advocating for a multiracial, multicultural democracy rooted in love and compassion, drawing inspiration from various faith traditions and even his non-religious grandfather's appreciation for nature.
