David French says there are two kinds of churches: love-your-neighbor churches and fear-the-world churches. Using these categories, Skye Jethani and David French look at two stories in the news. First, a controversial article about the crucifixion in Christianity Today has some people losing their minds, but does it really justify the outrage? And the legacy of Pope Francis is seen very differently by those who believe the church must defend itself against the threats of secularism, and those who think the church needs to extend more mercy to those on the margins. They also look at recent rulings by the Supreme Court against the Trump administration, and why a real Constitutional crisis is becoming more likely than ever.
