A liberal Catholic recites the catechism?
Out of obedience?
On what planet?
Maybe you should try to make your interesting point again, in a somewhat different way, because the above is snortingly dubious.
It was a metaphor. What I meant is that a liberal Catholic will look you straight in the eyes and tell you they are a good Catholic, a proper Catholic. And if you bring up the catechism they'll include that, too - and if you question them, they'll tell you they don't have to answer to you. This is just a fact. I was merely proffering an opinion as to how they can do this, not whether they do it.
I have known many such "Catholics.". They are utterly conscienceless, and give the impression that if you wait long enough, their heads will turn 360 degrees around their necks. They are Legion.
