The relationship I see between the Catholic Church and MAGA is misogyny. The hierarchy I see are white male and plenty of them have either participated in or covered up sex scandals. Having said that, I think in many instances one could separate the Catholic church’s charity work from that of their political work. In America they have supported republicans in contrast to the 50’s when I was a child in Catholic school supporting civil rights for Black people and minorities. That changed in 80’s …
100%. I was keenly aware of my 2nd class status growing up as a Catholic girl. I’m proudly raising my daughter as a UU, where she is treated with dignity and equality. If the Church wants to really do good in the world and keep out creepers like JD Vance, it needs to clean up its misogyny problem. At minimum, birth control is not immoral, nor is divorcing an abuser, and nuns should not take orders from priests and should be able to say mass.
