What? Christian Dominianists typically are Protestants, last I checked.
(Yes, American Catholics do contain a faction that's been shifting right, and there's a whole Wikipedia article about "Integralism", but this is not the kind of thing you usually find from them...)
But yeah, there are strains of Christianity that really like the "Romans fed us to the lions" stories.
As far as I can tell, most tribes do this in one way or another. Not all, but a good fraction. That they defend those stories to the end, and that their opponents try to deny that same victimhood status, I think speaks volumes. Everybody wants to be owed.

I'm sure it's real, somewhere in America, but it's not really a thing.
- FooBarBizBazz 5y agoYou're right, of course. This is not mainstream in any denomination. I should be clear about that. It's a little like saying "Wahhabists are typically Sunnis". Well, yes, but most Sunnis are not Wahhabists. Also, when I said "most tribes" I did not strictly have Christian denominations in mind. But rather all sorts of national identities, &etc. Lots of historical grievance on parade, left and right.
