Bishop Robert Barron publicly rebuked the Politico reporter who suggested believing in God-given rights is an indication of Christian nationalism, and warned that her worldview leads to totalitarianism.

Journalist Heidi Przybyla went viral last week for claiming on MSNBC that Christians and “Christian nationalists” are different, but that Christian nationalists are united by the belief “that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly authority.”

“They don’t come from Congress, they don’t come from the Supreme Court, they come from God,” she said. “The problem with that is that they are determining — man, men, and it is men — are determining what God is telling them.”

In a video he posted to social media Friday that drew nearly 2 million views on X as of Monday, Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester condemned Przybyla’s assertion as “one of the most disturbing and frankly dangerous things I’ve ever seen in a political conversation.”
