Sounds more like liberals aren’t listening to the church. Maybe they should just join the unitarian universalists where it doesn’t matter what you believe.
PS - I am not Catholic.
I am and thank you for your comment. It’s appreciated.
All religions and denominations have core beliefs. Individuals, even if they were “born into” the particular faith, can’t and shouldn’t expect to be able change them. They can always move on and form their own, join another that conforms more with what they believe, or reexamine those beliefs and get back in line. Hanging around and bitching about how a 2,000 year old institution as hierarchical as the RCC is childish. But then again, we are talking about Liberals, whose mascots are Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Peter Pan.
