My wife’s family was catholic and very conservative. In my younger years I was liberal. It caused some turmoil at first but I actually came around. Thing is being connected to them, seeing how great their family is etc is a lot of why I became a conservative in the first place.
But now they are all crazy liberals lol. I’m not sure how this happened but I really think it’s to do with the catholic guilt.
More than likely they've been convinced that the left and its socialistic tendencies are equivalent to compassion and empathy, highly regarded qualities to any believer. Given how Catholics regard the position of Pope, all it takes is the right puppet to push an agenda for those that are less likely to think for themselves.
I am not Catholic myself, but from what I’ve heard, most of them don’t like the current Pope. My Protestant mind finds the whole institution dumb.
Yeah it’s crazy
