“That’s because they’re more “American Freeper” than “Latin Rite”. If they knew their medieval past rather than being ignorant of their history and traditions, that wouldn’t be the case.

Political ideology and the theology of The Church seldom mix in a way that post Enlightenment Westerners (and increasingly Easterners) would like, no matter what their leaning, left or right. BTW, I thank God that The Church, especially now with +BXVI as pope but with the EP and the other patriarchs too, will speak out on the situation of the people and societies and even all of creation in a way which challenges the immoral, self centered, materialistic and pagan conceptions which have come to dominate our thinking as societies.
