Last week, New Christendom Press hosted its annual conference in Ogden, Utah, called "The War For Normal." Featuring Christian nationalist speakers such as Stephen Wolfe and Andrew Isker, the conference generated controversy when it was reported that a vendor was being allowed to sell Nazi and "pro-white" books at the event.
New Christendom Press founders Brian Sauvé and Eric Conn addressed the controversy on their "The King's Hall" podcast yesterday, where they made it clear that they had no problem with such products being sold at their conference, which is not surprising given that Sauvé and Conn are racist, antisemitic Christian nationalist pastors.
What Sauvé and Conn did have a problem was a flyer that vendor distributed recommending other "pro-white" companies for attendees to patronize. And the reason Sauvé and Conn objected to that flyer was because some of those recommended companies sold pagan and borderline pornographic items.
"Here's the stuff that we did have issue with," Sauvé said. "The flyer that was distributed—again, the guys that were doing the booth; this is their normal practice that they just didn't even think about—we went to them and said, 'Tell us what happened. Here is what people are saying happened. They're saying that you're handing out a flyer that's leading to everything from a literal cult to literal pornography. So what's up with that?' And they said, 'We do this flyer. We kind of update it every once in a while. We hand it out with our books. It's just, it's not like we avow everything here. It's just, this is kind of like related pro-white businesses and we are pro-Western civilization, pro-white, pro-Anglo, you know, all those things.'"
"To them, they're a secular publishing house; they're like, 'This is a pro-white tarot card thing,'" Sauvé continued. "And our response is, 'If you're pro-white, you should probably not talk to demons and tell the white people to talk to demons because they've been doing enough of that for the last century.'"
Sauvé said that distributing the flyer violated the terms of their vendor agreement because it was essentially cross-promoting businesses that New Christendom Press had not approved, and the vendor agreed to stop doing so.
But Sauvé again made clear that it wasn't the vendor's pro-Nazism or "pro-white" content that he objected to, but rather the potential promotion of "paganism" to white people.
"I think that it is actively insidious and that the material on that flyer, I think was actively harmful to the cause [because] if you like white people, then you should not encourage them to join paganism and cults that are destroying the world and are just [wearing the] same jersey as the feminists," he said. "Same jersey, same team, just a different mask on. That's Satan with a different jersey on."
