    The Presbyterian Pope

    Christian Nationalism seems to be headed towards a paradox: while its leaders, like Stephen Wolfe, Andrew Torba, and Eric Conn claim the reformed tradition (or the church fathers) as their foundation, the movement is arguing for the complete opposite of what the Reformers were fighting against; they are positing a Presbyterian version of the Pope, aka, "the Christian Prince."
