RZ is part of the PCUSA, the mainline Presbyterian denomination, and probably the 3rd most woke after the UMC (Methodists) and Episcopal Church (but is not himself woke, hence the movement). He is by his own admission a hard-line Calvinist.
The reason I called his contempt for the PCA (the conservative offshoot of PCUSA) "ridiculous" is because he considers them cowards for leaving in the first place instead of staying and fighting. Knowing how leftist indoctrination works, this would have been at considerable long-term risk to anyone who chooses to stay, and considering RZ looks the other way on female pastors or otherwise minimizes the issue (knowing full well what scripture says, he considers it a 'secondary' issue), he is of no exception.
Ah i wasn't aware of him, my interest in church figures is limited to a biography I read of machen in high school.
Fully on board with dissing the PCUSA.
I know virtually nothing about that later split, but from my estimation, the OPC one happened at about the last possible straw of "fighting back" since they were teetering on kicking him out anyway.
Not quite in this case.

A shame what's become of westminster since.
