What’s a progressive catholic?
Wasn’t the Catholic Church involved in eradicating native populations in a couple countries too?
Someone who vibes with the basic teachings of Jesus (feed the hungry, clothe the poor, turn the other cheek, etc.) and heavy ritual stuff (cathedrals, stained glass, cannibalism by proxy, etc.) but does not vibe with repressive conservative politics.
They were probably raised Catholic, saw some ick with the Institution, but vibed with Jesus too hard to just write the Faith off. Tbf every progressive probably vibes with Jesus if they read what the guy supposedly said.
That’d be the ick. Still a cool dude though, lot on the ball. I’d say progressive Catholics are mostly the ones who assume that if you don’t fw the Vatican you don’t fw the Christ and don’t think about it too much. There’s a lotta good people caught up in that mentality.
A Catholic that doesn’t follow core teachings of the church like anti abortion and gay people go to hell.
But a little kid raping is ok you just got to be relocated. Enjoy Catholic light*
