"Ecumenism of hate". Very telling, descriptive and "right on".  Some might term it more gently as an "ecumenism of resistance"; some even "of righteousness". Those who seem to fall within the broad definition in this NCR arena might object vociferously.  For one, I might see de-escalating the term if it were not for three factors: vitriol, unreasoning inconsistency and obliviousness.
Attempts to identify themselves as "conservatives" fail. Real conservatives are intent upon preserving value. They balance value expressed in its tradition against diminution in change, opting for tradition. Even someone like Pope Benedict doesn't deserve the title "conservative". Enshrining the restoration of Catholic dominance (or preservation of remnant) in "traditional markers" is more idolatry than conserving. 
"Ecumenism of hate" is apt because it is a alliance of strange bedfellows finding a thin line of common ground in adamantine exclusion they pretend as righteousness.
