Wow. This thread really illustrates how confusing and alienating terms like liberal, conservative, and traditional are when it comes to our faith.

Also, those who can take a joke and those who can’t. 🙃😆
 
I can take myself too seriously too, don’t worry. But you know I think it is important for us to know the difference between taking God seriously and taking ourselves seriously.
I can be reverent towards God, if I feel his presence. But then the old ego gets in the way and I start to notice myself being reverent and I become the centre of my own attention.
its an interesting topic anyway. The psychology of respect, reverence, and interfering ego.
 
I agree that liberals at least seem to place more priority on social justice matters.

Hypothetical question, if all things remained the same between the two political parties, but the only difference was that Democrats were also now pro-life, would that sway a lot of conservative Catholics to the Democratic party (with all it’s other political stances still considered)?

a liberal Catholic is one who sees the collection plate as a medieval, oppressive relic with dubious authenticity.

no Franky because I think such ‘social justice’ brings poverty and authoritarianism. It also creates envy, division and theft. It opposes the Christian mission and creates a corrupt and overbearing government. To be completely honest I think it also lacks a commitment to objective truth which literally brings a type of madness. The whole political movement needs to be opposed and ultimately destroyed IMHO.

Read the book “The Rhine Flows Into the Tiber” to be able to distinguish between the conservative from the liberal at Vatican 2.
 
Well, we know you just like playing the devil’s advocate so we can’t take anything you say too seriously. 😉
 
That is how some Americans view liberal Catholics. It wasn’t my idea. I saw it on another Catholic forum. in fact they made a separate sub forum for them, To be fair though, abortion in exceptional circumstances was suggested.
 
No abortion is intrinsically evil, so no circumstances or intentions can make abortion moral.
 
Lol…I have no idea. Just muddling on through. I try to just speak the truth in love and call 'em as I see 'em.
 
I think you need to stick to those GIFs mate. They seem to have more impact.

Hell might turn out to be a frozen landscape like Antarctica with nothing to eat and nothing to do. We do tend to get obsessed with fire and flames.
