I guess it shouldn't be a surprise at this point, but the "theology expert" running for the U.S. Senate in Texas may be a huge weirdo.
Sure, you knew he called God non-binary, he daydreams about trans kids, and he's David French's ideal of a Christian in the public square, but that's not all of James Talarico's problems.

Yes, if your school has banned pornography for kids don't worry, Talarico stocks it in his church's library right between Left Behind Kids and Jesus Calling. Oh, and Talarico was raised in this church, has preached there several times, and remains closely associated with it.

Yeah, anyone who checked out this book from this church should have their hard drive checked immediately.
Here's the Daily Wire with the treasure trove of oppo research:
Books found in the St. Andrew's catalog include the book 'Gender Queer,' which includes illustrations of oral sex and masturbation, and the book 'All Boys Aren't Blue,' which discusses anal rape and incest.
'This Book Is Gay,' has a chapter on the 'ins and outs of gay sex,' while the book 'Becoming Nicole' tells the story of a gender-confused teen boy who identifies as a girl with the support of his family. In 'The Courage to Be Queer,' the author claims that 'God is queer.'
Other books in the church catalog include 'This Book is Gay,' 'Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth,' 'Called OUT: The Voices and Gifts of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Presbyterians,' 'The Courage to Be Queer,' and 'Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family.'
This is the most Austin-Texas, "Lesbyterian" thing I've ever heard of.
Yeah, you know all the books that the Moms for Liberty "terrorists" protested and got rid of in public schools based on the bizarre notion that kids shouldn't have access to porn or books that promote radical gender theory and overly sexual stories for kids?
Talarico's church has them!
St. Andrew's, the church where Talarico delivered his sermon that asserted that 'our trans community needs abortion care too,' says it offers banned books so that children can find 'affirmation in the books they read.' It boasts that the books 'shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people.'
'We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. Take a moment to browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice … common themes … particular experiences and identities being censored,' the church says of its banned books collection.
Yes, themes and experiences like rape, sodomy, transsexualism, and all those other things that resulted in Sodom and Gomorrah being wiped out.
Only the best literature for the St. Andrew's kiddos!
