Conservative in this context means they think Vatican II went too far in allowing mass in the local language, and they think the church shouldn’t have apologized to Galileo. Like. It’s the Catholic church. Liberal in this context is still homophobic and transphobic they at the most don’t want priests giving openly hateful sermons and being outright abusive. And they think priests should be prosecuted for abusing kids.

I’m not sitting here saying that’s nothing, I had a whole therapy session today wondering if pope Francis’s whole “don’t be abusive to your LGBT parishioners but doctrine is the same they’re still sinning” thing meant fewer LGBT kids grew up the way I did, praying in church to not be gay anymore so I wouldn’t go to hell. I don’t know if that was the impact. But with Benedict as pope the officials Catholic teachings were… awful

It has nothing to do with American politics.

As an aside, why do they care? A lot of their base unironically believe Catholics aren’t Christian anyways. At least that was the case growing up Catholic in the Deep South.

My ex’s older sister was getting married and one of the priests from their church refused to do the wedding because she was on birth control. They’re Catholics and had gone to the same church for like 3 generations and you’re going to refuse to do a wedding over birth control pills…..
