    I'm pretty sure peterson isn't a papist, but I could be wrong. I also refuse to look it up.

      He probably isn't a practicing Catholic, but he's adjacent to tradcaths in his messaging and I don't know anything about orthodox interactions with protestants.

        tradcaths are the weirdest thing I have seen develop. I've spent my whole life, and willl probably continue to spend my life, deeply embedded in Catholicism. I know about a lot of the weird perspectives and reactionary tendencies members of the Church can have. tradcaths feel downright calvinist, they just don't follow from how I've seen and experienced Catholicism. Anyway, neither orthodox nor protestants believe that the Pope is the leader Christianity on earth, so it wouldn't much matter how peterson falls along those lines. And yeah, I agree that he has played into and bolstered the tradcath movement.
