His fellow Catholics choose socialism over life and having homo marriage. Who cares about those as long as we have socialism.
The nominal ones. There is a body of dogmatic teaching in Catholicism that all Catholics must adhere to and be judged by --even priests and bishops.
Nonetheless, bishops here, and in Europe, have been soft on socialism. Since public policy is largely an area of prudential judgement, it's difficult to ride herd on bishops. Statesmanship isn't their primary responsibility, but it is tangentially related to their mission of saving souls. And some public policy issues relating to intrinsic evils, such as abortion, euthanasia, and homosexual "marriage," clearly fall within the responsibility of clergy to address.
Finally, there are some bright spots. The Church has led the fight against abortion in the U.S. since at least Roe v. Wade. Ask anyone involved in the movement.
And in Massachusetts, Catholic Charities closed their adoption agencies rather than participate in facillitating the adoption of children by homosexuals.
