Cbs thinks any Catholic is, by definition, “conservative”; completely unknowing about the idiot liberation theology that Jesuits in particular follow.
RE: Cbs thinks any Catholic is, by definition, conservative;
How can a news organization ignore the fact that MOST American Catholics voted FOR the gay marriage supporting, partial birth abortion supporting Obama?
This is a serious misreading. He thinks Catholicism is, by definition, conservative; this will be true whether "any Catholc" actually conforms to Catholicism or not.
The trouble with a bad Catholic is almost always that he isn't Catholic enough.
But just so you know:
Pope Francis very strongly opposed liberation theology, on the grounds that it sought to assist the poor through strictly worldly ways (i.e., socialist intervention). That opposition probably cost him the papal election the last time, as he was hammered by absurd allegations he abetted war crimes by the fascistic military Junta, and made him somewhat of a pariah among many Jesuit institutions.
(I think the Holy Spirit desired a few years out of Benedict XVI to finish and balance John Paul II’s work of routing out heresies.)
