If more conservatives could learn to accept the facts that some people (republicans included) are gay, and some people (republicans included) prefer cannabis to alcohol. The party would be more aligned the true constitutional values of Life, Liberty, and the persist of happiness. And the party would grow larger as well both attracting libertarians and dissolutioned Regan democrats.

More Red Herrings?.....If you were right, The Libertarian Party would be mopping the floor with both Democrats and Republicans. As it stands, they are a vast black hole of political effort.
Secondly, this is a post about Christian Theology and Ecclesiology not the Republican Party or Constitutional Conservatives. I hate to break this to you, but Constitutional Conservatism has been dead for quite some time and if it’s not completely dead, the American people have been slowly cutting off the feeding tubes for many decades. The American People do not want small government....period. They want generous welfare benefits, a large government-planned/regulated sector of the economy, a large, expensive military, and...well...lots of stuff paid for by someone else.
Even the latest stint of imposing “gay marriage” in the states was an example of big government fiat from Supreme Court oligarchs. Now, that may make you happy, but it’s definitely not in line with Constitutional Conservatism. Would it make you happy if the Supreme Court ruled that no state has the right to ban/restrict the possession of cannabis? Think that’s Constitutional Conservatism? A small clue....it isn’t.
And what’s this stuff about “Reagan Democrats”? They are a long extinct species. Have you seen polls on the views of Democrats across the nation? They have moved decidedly more to the left since Reagan. There are not enough “conservative Democrats” to make a difference in any state elections let alone a national one.
We Catholics are, ummm, CATHOLIC and not necessarily Libertarian. Wherever Libertarianism may coincide with Catholicism, we Catholics will have no problem. Where Libertarianism collides with Catholicism (abortion, homosexuality and other sexual perversions, drugs, booze, etc.), Catholics who ARE Catholic will side with the Deposit of the Faith every time. I am a lifelong Republican and a lifelong Catholic but I will certainly be Catholic the day I die and not so sure I will be a Republican, not that political party really matters.
Some among us still believe in absolute truth. Apparently you do not and hope all will follow your pied piper path.
