...theological conservatism is a durable proxy for political conservatism.

Except for being anti-abortion, widely-held Catholic theological beliefs and political conservatism seem to very often be polar opposites

anti-abortion? check

Death penalty? Church Nope, MAGA yes

Feed the poor?  MAGA Nope, Church yes

Love thy neighbor? MAGA Nope, Church yes

Seek peace? MAGA Nope, Church yes

Forgiveness is a virtue? MAGA Nope, Church yes

Peace and kindness over material wants? MAGA Nope, Church yes

 

 

 

What a bizarre post. 

Don't you claim to be a political conservative?  Why are you now conflating political conservatives with MAGA?  

 

Far be it from me to defend Shooter's dumb ass, but he's not doing that at all. He's trying (poorly) to respond to Farva's idiotic claim that theological and political conservatism walk hand-in-hand, as though the use of the same word in different contexts means they must be identical. Lazy thinking on Farva's part, amateur response on Shooter's, but I think that's clearly where he was trying to go.

 

 

For the life of me I don't understand what you're trying to take issue with. More Conservative parishes are more politically conservative, do you deny that? More progressive parishes will give you Homilies about suffering in the Gaza strip and respecting our LGBT neighbors. The same dynamic plays out in Judaism.
