@yerrag well, there’s a trend amongst conservative evangelicals to embrace traditional Catholicism and orthodox denominations, it’s a meme now I’m sure you’re aware of, called tradcath. I don’t think it’s a conspiracy akin to the old WASP anti-Catholicism sentiments.
I mean I'm relatively the same; grew up rural southern anti-catholic, and the subsequent culture wars showed me that catholics were always my friend -- then found orthodox to be way more conservative. These two denominations were basically the reactionaries in all the color revolutions, and protestants were often at least a few of the thought leaders in the general pro-revolutionary direction. I'll always be protestant, but I have friends who have gone orthodox after being raised protestant.
Really the only churches thriving right now in America are orthodox and Charismatic.

I haven't been following, but I sensed that once bitter enemies in the 80s have come to share some unity in the face of assault by woke forces in a cascading torrent. The movement to relative Catholic thoughtfulness from the simplistic salvific magic bullet acceptance of Jesus as savior by Evangelicals is as significantly analogous to the move by Peatarians from the deer on headlights hexing by mainstream medicine. But that is far too little to make significant changes in the political scene, as heavily dominated by the majority who are conditioned to always be led by manufactured fears and can never be awakened to reality. Even when awakened, they can not act as action is always superseded by supplication to a messiah who will come to save them, which at best is being Christian, whether Catholic or Evangelical.
The main distinction of Jesus' New Testament is the call to "Love Thy Enemy." This is a radical departure from religions and philosophies and is the Achilles heel of Christianity. It has always been gamed and taken advantage of by Talmudist system lords, which over 2 millenia have gradually and consistently gained wealth and influence and power under the shadows, playing puppeteer to both secular and religious powers in the Christian sphere.
Between two protagonists, one that shows love for his enemy will keep losing to the one who considers himself entitled to treat his Gentile protagonist as a beast of burden by entitlement and privilege by his god.
One will always be magnanimous and merciful in victory, while the other will annihilate and wipe his adversary and hia descendants off the face of the earth.
Over time, all people of noble stock and good hearts and great courage have become extinct, leaving behind the meek to be made into pulp at the discretion of the class and race that remains on top.

With all the Fentanyl being used to weaken and destroy the fiber of the heartland, it matters very little which denomination one is. It is a blur to them who inflict gradual extinction of peoples and culture.

Yet they are as good as sitting ducks.
