Contrasting Visions
Christian Nationalism vs. the Vision of Christ
Today’s article examines the contrast between Christian Nationalism and the vision of Christ as revealed
in today’s Gospel reading, Luke 6:27-38.
Christian Nationalism is a movement that distorts selected elements of Christianity to promote a narrative of dominance, exclusion, and divine favor for a particular group. It blurs the distinction between faith—our existential encounter with the Divine, the recognition of God's sovereignty, and the commitment to act in trust—and national identity, which assumes that a specific nation is divinely chosen and fully embodies God's will on earth.
Christian Nationalists assert that fidelity to God requires unquestioning loyalty to the nation, and they often restrict the ethical obligation to care for fellow citizens or those whose well-being aligns with national interests. A recent example of this ideology appeared in Vice President JD Vance’s
comments on migrants immigration policy.
