The movement morphed further after the 9\/11 terror attacks into a startling amalgamation of theocratic convictions, which led to the troubling theo-populism we see today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe election of the Latin American pope represented a mortal threat to all of this, and a poisonous backlash was inevitable, bringing us to the brink of a true \"American schism.\" This is the drama of today's Catholic Church.
