***The hierarchy of the Church teaches that it has a Divine right to lead all Christians. Therefore, all Christians should submit. That is liberalism, just as you said.***
It is the word of Jesus. I didn’t think that he could be labelled as liberal, but nonetheless, His instruction is what we need to do. After all, His instruction is how we shall be judged.
Conservatism is not about freeing the individual. It is a reversion to a past state, by the way.
It depends. Conservatism is for smaller government, less taxes, and the promotion of the freedom of the individual to make as much of himself in a capitalistic economy as he can without unnecessary government interference. Liberalism is all about stopping all those things. Conservatism rewards those who work hard, and liberalism penalizes them. Conservatism is the champion of true economic freedom. Do you disagree?
On a social level, I can see where you are coming from. Conservatives do want laws against murdering innocent babies, gay marriage, child pornography, and the like, so technically that would be "less" freedom.
