>> What if you priest wasn’t proline? Would you switch religions? <<

I assume you mean pro-life, but I will be happy to answer that question.

The church I was baptized at and attended as a child now a young polish immigrant pastor who IS pro-life. I no longer attend there, and the church is not very conservative, but it is rare to find any Catholic priest who is not pro-life. Simply put, even the American Roman Catholic is far more conservative overall than the EPUSA is.

The church I currently attend has an outspoken pro-life priest who regularly gives homilies about the issue and is part of a five-parish pro-life ministry that does a concelebrated mass in solidarity for the March for Life each year. One of the reasons I joined that parish is because I wanted a pastor who would stand up for conservative values. In many ways, the priest is to the right of ME on social issues.

In the event I joined a parish that ever appointed a priest who was clearly NOT pro-life, I would leave and find another nearby Catholic parish whose pastor IS pro-life.

In the event I ended up in a church with a "priest" that preaches views like Gorsuch's "womyn" priest (goes to the Woman's March, has a "LGBTQ rights" outreach program, champions gun control, blesses gay "marriages", etc.), I would be gone in a New York Minute. I'd probably leave after the homily and not make it thru a single service.

Hope that answers the question.
