I don't see how anyone could consider the Catholic Church to be least bit conservative these days. From priests breaking into US draft offices and burning records to attacking local governments all around the world, the organization has proven time and again to be at least "Progressive".
Locally, the vans used by Catholic Social services push a message of "Social Justice". Not my idea of conservative.
Does the Church stand against abortion? Yes. In this singular issue, they seem to project a conservative image.
Otherwise, I fail to see any long term conservative actions... A conservative organization, one that allows "Caesar his due" would have turned the many pedophile, rapist priests over for trial as the criminals they are.
So, no. Not conservative. YMMV.
You are never a “lapsed” Catholic. The indelible sign on your soul says that you are a baptized Catholic. It doesn’t change.
Get your questions answered by sitting down with a priest.
We aren’t talking about other organizations that claim to be Catholic, but about the beliefs of the Catholic Church.
Those beliefs are very conservative.
