The Catholic Church is socially conservative but economically liberal. Libertarians are economically conservative but socially liberal.

Yeah, it seems to be another invention of the secularists and Dem-sympathizers, like "progressive" and fill-in-the-blankphobia. Essentially it's a nominal Christian church that's really just a front for liberal causes. In reality, CNN is the "religious left".

"Christian Left" is - but Leftists are hyper-religious. Unquestioning adherence to party ritual and doctrine are everything to them.

It is if you don't count dirt-worship as a religion.

I don't think it's fair to say the religious left or Christian left is an oxymoron. MLK is the classic example of that, and it's been around for a long time. Now, that said, I think they're confused: they mix up the responsibilities of the church with the responsibilities of government. But that's just bad theology. It's not somehow a lie or an impossible category.
