If Colorado is very liberal, then why is it a hotbed of Traditional Catholicism

Well, if God wants to give a sneak peek at heaven, Colorado will do!

Like I said above, Traditionalist Cathocism is much more aligned with far right political movements than in the US, in spite of the fact that they have viable multi-party systems.

What you actually said was "

It’s even more pronounced in Europe than in the US. In Europe, by far most Traditionalists strongly identify with far right and alt-right political nationalistic and xenophobic movements that many of their American counterparts would wince at. There isn’t much of the politically naive, “warm and fuzzy nostalgic” component of Traditionalism that you sometimes find in the States.

That is quite a statement to make. I trust you will now present the evidence to back this claim?

And you visit this theme again in this post, without providing a shred of evidence, despite being asked, to support your assertion more than 24 hours ago.

It’s a very mixed state, from fundamentalist headquarters in Colorado Springs to hippie haven in Boulder and everything in between…and we mostly tolerate each other very well!

This is the explanation.

In liberal areas, people of all kinds are free to form groups and proliferate. That freedom is what gives them a reputation for being liberal.

In more “conservative” areas, traditionalist groups will be stopped by whatever central authoritarian figure there is. Someone will say The bishop is opposed, or the person who could promote it is assigned other duties and sidetracked from setting up traditionalist organs.

Why do some Catholics repudiate our American values? Wasn’t this thread posted instead?
