Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

I guess I just expected it to be higher.

I was raised catholic and I thought our parish was “progressive” by religious standards. Not once did I hear any anti-gay rhetoric, which I guess is the bar for that…

I mean relative to most protestant and pseudo-christian religions in the u.s it does seem progressive, which is a nice thing and means communists could have an easier time working with catholics over protestants on certain issues. But they're still relatively on the more conservative side than the wider u.s population. Personally I think there's inroads to alliances to be made among the not do dogshit catholics, but that's just me.
