I disagree. Sadly, many priests are theologically liberal. For example, we have a pastor in our diocese who won't let us pass out pro-life voters guides after Masses. He also favors women's ordination (which the pope has spoken ex cathedra against) gun control, group confessions, and lay readership of the Gospel during a Mass.
I've found this priest to be typical - Whenever you crack open a politically liberal priest who won't allow voters guides, there's usually a heretic underneath.
I understand exactly what you're saying.
It's why i left the church in 1970. Just back from the war and I had to listen to a bunch of commies in vestments lecture me about liberation theology.
What they said made sense and so I liberated myself.
