Catholic Integralists believe that religious values – specifically Christian ones – should guide government policies. They oppose liberalism, which they view as valuing individualism and liberty.
American Catholicism might as well be a new Protestant sect. Catholicism does not really work like this. And the last three points don’t really fit in with Catholic social teaching.
I think the article should make clear that this “Catholicism” is really a subset of American Catholics and nothing more. Nothing to do with the Vatican, the Pope, and the Catholics in Europe, Latin America and elsewhere.
Also, generally the Church supported liberal political parties especially when the alternative was socialist/communist, so to say that Catholicism is against liberalism is incorrect.
I think it’s only a Matter of time before American Catholics break away from Rome. Maybe they wil become the new “Church of Christ and His Blessed Armaments”
American Catholics literally believe you can have “liberal” and “conservative” bishops. No you dumb fucks, there is ONE head of the church and Bishops that argue with the Pope are not following the church.
Whether or not this is all dumb as shit is a different conversation, but if you’re going to be a part of the Catholic Church, you don’t also then get to pick and choose based on your opinions on various issues.
