James Talarico and His Church

 By Rich Kozlovich

Talarico is alleged to be a devout church going Christian, claiming his "Christian faith as a justification for far left policies", but his theological views can hardly be viewed as an embrace of traditionally foundational Christian thinking or values.  It seems to me he's a heretic of the first order.  Others are more specific saying his views are a "perversion, of Christianity.”  Let's take a quick look.

1.  He insists the Bible requires the government to provide health care.  It appears he and John Kasich apparently went to the same Bible classes.  
2. He claims the Bible is silent on abortion, 
3. Supported a gay pride event alongside an 11 YEAR-OLD child drag queen. 
4. Believed.... at least until he backtracked... there are six biological sexes. 
5. Believes and any effort to prevent  “gender-affirming healthcare to trans children as Christofascism.
6. Accuses Christianity of being the “most violent” religion that has done “more damage” to Islam."
7. Defends convicted murderer Karmelo Anthony.
8. Wants to redefine faith and God Is Not a Christian’. 
9. God is non binary 
10. He's convinced Jesus is not the only way to truth and that Islam leads to the "same" truth.

For some time I've watched Talarico's theological views playing out and I wondered how the membership of his church felt about those views.  Now I know.  They're just as strange as Talarico. 

He and his "Woke Church harbored illegal aliens to hide them from ICE, and it turns out members of his church wishes the Trump shooter in Butler, PA ‘had been more successful".  

What kind of members belong to this "church"?  Well, if we're to believe the female pastor of this church, most the members of the congregation are agnostic or atheist.  Make sure to scroll down to see the video of this pastor. 

What I find incredible about these people is why they bother to go to church at all.  If they're atheists what value do they receive from attending, it certainly can't be of a spiritual nature?  Also,  I assume they must pray during their services but if they're atheists or agnostics, who exactly are they praying to and why?  I think there are two words that define these type of people.  Like all members of the Church of Wokeness, they're strange and sick. 

Update, 9/17/26:

• CAUGHT ON TAPE: Talarico’s Own Church Minister Says His Sudden “Moderation” Is A Con – “Once He Gets Elected, He’ll Change His Tune Back to Where He Was” - An undercover video obtained by The Daily Wire has blown a hole in Texas Democrat James Talarico’s latest campaign makeover. Rev. Babs Miller, the “Minister to the Parish” at Talarico’s longtime Austin congregation, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, was recorded telling an undercover journalist that the Senate candidate’s new talking points on transgender ideology are political theater, and that the old Talarico will be back the minute the votes are counted.  “I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was,” Miller said.  That is not a Republican talking point. That is Talarico’s own minister.......

• Exclusive: Undercover Video Shows James Talarico’s Pastor Supporting Atheists, if You ‘Hate Religion We’re on the Same Team’ - Undercover video obtained by Breitbart News shows Texas Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s pastor and mentor, Rev.

•  James Talarico Called Sex Ed ‘Maybe the Most Important Topic’ Students Learn in School - Texas Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico questioned parental opt-in requirements for sex education while he served in the state House, raising concerns that the policy would reduce the number of students receiving instruction on what he described as “maybe the most important topic” they would learn about in school.
• Pastor at James Talarico’s “Sanctuary Church” Admits to Harboring Illegal Alien for 8 Years, Says “We’re Not a Belief-Based Church” (Video) - The Reverend Carol Johnson from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, the home church of Democrat James Talerico, was caught on undercover video recently exposing the world to the community’s wackadoodle principles. Brandon Waltens from Texas Scorecard released this video on Monday.

  Rev. Johnson admits in this video that the church has been harboring an illegal alien from Guatemala for eight years. She also speaks proudly that the church is “not a belief-based church.”  This may explain a lot about the Democrat man-child, trans-kids-loving candidate from Texas.,,,,

  My Take - They're not a belief based church?  What exactly does that mean.  What does it teach, believe, or for that matter, why do they even meet?  Does anyone besides me think that's just nuts,  Does anyone besides me see this as the foundational philosophical structure of the entire left/
