“”how difficult it will be for conservatism to penetrate Catholicism.””

American Conservatism is not a moral authority of mankind and American Liberalism is chaos.

There is self serving side to both.

Both American conservatism and American liberalism’s foreign policy allowed for killing Christians and has Christian blood on it’s hands

Bush Sr endorsed Syria’s plans in Lebanon,that allowed Damascus to invade and kill Christian populations, and the Clinton administration bombed Serbian Churches.These are just a few examples,there is much more throughout history

Latin and Orthodox Catholics who actually follow the faith correctly follow a much higher moral authority,the teaching of 2000 plus year old Church founded by Christ and are neither conservative or liberal.

A Catholic/Orthodox who has elevated american conservatism and american liberalism above Church teach is in error

Church teach = Church teaching

Bravo! Chauvinistic political theory and labels pose a danger to the Christian soul and while we should love our homelands and our fellow countrymen and pray unceasingly for our communities and leaders, we must never forget that the here and now is just that, here and now. We were created for theosis. Our Church teaches us what is vital and has for 2000 years. It is, of course, The Faith, which is true for all time and all people. To paraphrase the Synodikon of the 7th Ecumenical Council, this is the Faith of the Apostles; this is the Faith of the Fathers; this is the Faith which has established the Universe!

Personally, I support conservatism, the majority of Catholic voters do not, and the democrats are importing more of them, Catholics have always served the democrat party in America.
