Why would they kick this Cardinal out? These are the Catholic Church's positions. Aside from a few things like abortion and gay marriage, the Catholic church is very liberal on everything from gun control, immigration, the death penalty, social welfare spending, etc.
“Aside from a few things like abortion and gay marriage, the Catholic church is very liberal on everything from gun control, immigration, the death penalty, social welfare spending, etc.”
The Catholic Church does not outright prohibit the death penalty, and Popes have written encyclicals against socialism (which practically destroyed the Church in Europe in the early part of the 20th century). Distinctions should be made between the “Catholic Church” and the “American Catholic Church”.
The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) continues to provide a steady stream of canonizations of martyrs for us; over 7,000 priests, 100 nuns, and a lot more lay Catholics were martyred by a socialist government’s policies.
