But it is not out of character for almost any Democrat these days to evince a serious interest in liberalism disguised as Christianity, as is found in most "mainstream" Protestant denominations, not to say some strains of Catholicism these days.
It is impossible to embrace the basics of Christian orthodoxy and orthopraxis and be a Democrat, but it is easy to embrace what is being taught and promoted by much of the UMC, PCUSA, ABC, UCC, ELCA, Episcopalian clergy, and by a number of Catholic clergy as well--but that is something that is often discussed in Catholic caucus threads, and as an LCMS Lutheran I read but don't respond there.
and, apparently by our Pope.
