The rise and fall of Moral Majority ends in retreat
The Boston Globe piece recalls Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority, once a powerful Christian right force, declaring victory then quitting. It notes fund-raising highs in 1984, revenue declines after televangelist scandals, and the group’s impact on political rhetoric and the culture wars. It contrasts liberal speech gaps with conservative framing, while forecasting a shift in national discourse.
