I love that the Ascension is a call for discipleship rather personal salvation. Jesus tells us that everyone is welcome at God’s table.

Fascinating. Behold how Rome vs. the Christians plays out over the centuries, with the Trumpian ethno-Christian-nationalists being only the latest realization of the sordid drama.

Yes, Charles. The sordid abberation is the man-made conflation of the terms 'Christian' and 'Nationalist'. The terms are mutually exclusive. Behaviour indicates which of the two one is. The populist American expression is cleary only nationalist.
