The article discusses the emergence of a vibrant wave of conservative or "faithful" Catholics, often labeled as MAGA Catholics or traditionalists. This movement is gaining prominence, especially notable during events like the Catholic Prayer for America Gala held at Mar-A-Lago, which showcased their ties to prominent figures within the Trump administration. Leaders like John C. Yep express a transformative zeal, countering prior perceptions of Catholic passivity. The COVID pandemic catalyzed this shift, sparking a spirited backlash against progressive ideologies and marking a significant re-engagement of conservative Catholics in political and public life.
"Our true love for the Lord is the opposite of passivity. And it's going to create zealous warriors," said John C. Yep, CEO of Catholics for Catholics, reflecting the active commitment of conservative Catholics.
At Mar-a-Lago was Eduardo Verastegui, a fervent Catholic activist and a former Mexican soap opera hunk who became a successful Hollywood filmmaker, showing the blend of faith and cultural influence.
