"one big Wittenberg door with an ever-expanding target where a nail should be."

First things
"The religious right establishment is one big Wittenberg door with an ever-expanding target where a nail should be."

"the 2016 campaign did not provoke this crisis.  This was a pre-existing condition.  The religious right turns out to be the people the religious right warned us against."

     Russell D. Moore, "Can the religious right be saved?" (the 2016 Erasmus Lecture), First things no. 269 (January 2017):  36, 37 (33-42).  See also the video.  This lecture is loaded with zingers.
