I recently came across a social media thread that was generating a lot of conversation that was titled something like “The Downfall of Michael Lofton” apparently written by someone who was a long time listener and supporter of his channel.
Like any conversation on social media, a lot of different things were said in the comments, but one particular complaint that stood out to me was that people didn’t appreciate that Lofton’s channel was shifting towards political commentaries at the expense of theological discussions. Now, I don’t know if that’s true or not because I don’t watch his channel regularly, but at least this was what people were claiming.
And the more commenters pinpointed that particular complaint, the more they were drawing other personalities into the discussion for the same reason – like Dr. Taylor Marshall, or Trent Horn, or Matt Fradd. And so got me thinking, is this a fair complaint? Should Catholic writers, speakers, and thinkers avoid the topic of politics and stick to the Catholic faith or just philosophy in general?
