livius, we're posting to each other on Free Republic here. I'd like to believe that you have an idea what "conservative" means, in the context of this website, and more importantly that you have ideas on advancing political conservatism in this country.
and for the purposes of this post, I don’t care.
In regards to not having an idea what their opinions on "other things" are, some of us already know about their politically liberal stances, and we oppose them. I guess that makes us anti-Catholics, right?
No, it doesn’t make you anti-Catholic. But there is a difference between the political definition of conservative - which actually seems to have less and less meaning - and the religious definition, which relates to the truths of the faith.
That said, I’m not defending any statement by Pope Francis.
