Why do you use the word “orthodox” and not the word “conservative” instead? Thank-you.

I would venture to say that the reason the word “orthodox” is used instead of “conservative” (or—adversely— “progressive” rather than “liberal”) is because at one time Bl. John Paul II asked us not to use political terms to describe ecclesial ones.
