Catholicism is big and complex and complex but internally consistent - problems start when someone latches onto one little corner and thinks it’s the whole picture, ignoring the dignity of the individual and life as redeemed by the incarnation of Christ.
I say this as a man who was a kid in the 1970’s and saw “liberation theology” grow and fade due to goofballs latching onto one corner of the picture and thinking it was the be-all end-all. Christ always speaks to the individual or to the church. He said “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” He did not said “make others do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Individual charity and forgiveness, from a love of God and an imitation of Christ, are the transformative hopes of social change, I think.
As a conservative my question is how and when do we get Catholics to start voting republican?
I just caught that, why is it?
