What? Are you kidding? Since when did FR Catholics portray the “American wing of the Roman Catholic Church” as conservative?

You, yourself did on October 29, 2009, when you redefined the political terms "Liberal" and "Conservative", on a political message board, to mean "CINO" and "Faithful Catholic":

Post #6: I never forget the simple truth: all Protestants are Liberals.
I responded by stating the polar opposite, to flesh our your claim:
Post #16: "Only Catholics are Conservatives".
Which prompted to you reply to me and others with this expansion of your core argument:
Post #20: Liberalism is not a merely political issue. Read Liberalism is a Sin.
Post #21: [in answer to a question re Baptists being more conservative than Catholics] Politically maybe. Religiously, if she is Protestant, then she can only be a Liberal....she is a Liberal no matter how conservative her political views. I never said anything about conservative political views.
You did make one statement that I wholeheartedly agree with, however:
Post #28: ...religious Liberalism is linked to political liberalism.
So let me ask you this: When the Catholic Church, at all levels, promotes global warming, evolution, Democrat candidates, Obamacare, state funding of churches, illegal immigration and amnesty, and a United Nations "with teeth", while declaring that the American way of life and capitalism are heresies....

....how can FRoman Catholics come onto FR and, with a straight face, argue that Catholics are the only true conservatives, applaud when their paragons advocate taking away voting privileges from anyone not Catholic, and then say that anyone who disagrees with their social and political goals is "bashing" the Catholic Church and must be a "closet leftist" posing as a Christian?

You need to learn to read Alex.

I did no such thing. I distinguished between liberal and Liberal. Do you even know the difference in a religion forum?

Then you make this stunningly erroneous series of claims:

“So let me ask you this: When the Catholic Church, at all levels, promotes global warming,”

It doesn’t - and especially not at all levels.

“evolution,”

It doesn’t - and especially not at all levels.

“Democrat candidates,”

It doesn’t - and especially not at all levels.

“Obamacare,”

It doesn’t - and especially not at all levels.

“state funding of churches,”

It doesn’t - and especially not at all levels.

“illegal immigration and amnesty,”

It doesn’t - and especially not at all levels.

“and a United Nations “with teeth”,”

It doesn’t - and especially not at all levels.

“while declaring that the American way of life and capitalism are heresies....”

It doesn’t - and especially not at all levels.

Nice try, Alex, but as usual you have failed. By the way, at my parish there has NEVER BEEN a sermon in favor of anything you mentioned in your fantasy laundry list.

And yes, all Protestants are by definition Liberals and many are liberals as well. And about your whine, “....how can FRoman Catholics come onto FR and, with a straight face, argue that Catholics are the only true conservatives, applaud when their paragons advocate taking away voting privileges from anyone not Catholic, and then say that anyone who disagrees with their social and political goals is “bashing” the Catholic Church and must be a “closet leftist” posing as a Christian?”

I don’t know, how many? How many Protestants here make phony, ridiculous, and silly accusations against Catholics, the Catholic Faith and Church? Quite a few. And aren’t some of them moderators as well? Does that hit close to home Alex?
