re: #44 Shvaughn
I dunno about that. There is a progressive wing in the Catholic Church and always has been; it’s just out of power.
A lot of the nuns, a lot of liberation theology priests in Latin America, etc are progressive Catholics. They’re just marginalized within the Church.
Which is why I’m laughing about the idea of the Catholic church ever truly being progressive. Liberation theology is considered a heresy by a lot of people in the Vatican and in the Church hierarchy. It will never have a major voice.
