Episode 125 — What Does The Catholic Church REALLY Teach About Race, Zionism & War w/American Reform

In this episode of The Backlash, Dave sits down with American Reform to examine one of the most controversial and misunderstood questions in modern Catholic discourse: what the Catholic Church actually teaches about race, nationalism, Zionism, and war.

Drawing from Church tradition, papal encyclicals, and centuries of Catholic social teaching, the conversation explores how Catholic doctrine has addressed identity, national loyalty, just war theory, and the political movements shaping the modern world. Dave and American Reform discuss how these teachings are often misrepresented in modern political debates and what faithful Catholics should understand about the relationship between the Church, global politics, and cultural identity.

From historical Church documents to contemporary conflicts, this episode tackles the theological and political tensions shaping the current moment—and asks what Catholics should believe when the stakes involve faith, nation, and civilization itself.

Tune in for a deep dive into Catholic teaching, political theology, and the debates that many are afraid to have.
