Francis’ excessive regard for the feelings of Muslims and Pagans is a typical progressive attitude. Now my theory is that progressivism is the reversal of fascism:
-fascism is white supremacy, progressivism goes too far with anti-racism
-fascism exalts violence and ruthlessness, progressivism is pacifist and overly empathic
-fascism represses minorities, progressivism lets them do what they want
And then there is normal Catholicism, with its Aristotelian attitude of “golden mean”.
I don’t want to bash Francis though, many times I liked his teachings. Besides, I don’t want to think like a Protestant.
