Jim Wallis steps aside as Sojourners editor-in-chief after removing controversial op-ed

Longtime progressive evangelical leader Jim Wallis has been replaced as editor-in-chief at Sojourners magazine after staff members resigned following his decision to unpublish a controversial op-ed accusing the Catholic Church of having a “white-power faction.”
...
The organizational changes come after two associate editors resigned from the publication after Wallis decided to remove an essay from the website.

The essay was published online under the headline “The Catholic Church has a Visible White-Power Faction” and written by Eric Martin, a scholar and activist who teaches religion at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Martin’s essay claimed that when a U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee met in 2018 to discuss a pastoral letter condemning racism, those involved chose to omit language that condemned the imagery of confederate flags, swastikas and nooses.

Wallis on July 28 decided to take down the article from Sojourners' website due to a correction that needed to be issued for the article that Wallis “did not think could be rectified with a simple factual correction or two.”

After internal backlash spilled online with public resignations, the decision was made to republish the article on the Sojourners website with a correction issued on Aug. 14.

Fauxvangelical Jim Wallis got caught and cancelled in a Proggier-than-thou trap of his own setting. A fitting conclusion for his 5 decades of crafting a government-social-programs "different Jesus".
