Specifically, what is the "Catholic" part? I only ask because, as far as I can tell from reading the newspapers, if there is ever a conflict between, say, the Democratic Party Platform and Catholic Doctrine, "liberal Catholics" always pick the Democratic Party Platform as being the superior. So is the "Catholic" part a love for large pretty buildings and stained glass? Maybe they really dig that incense?
It seems to me religion is that to which one turns towards when doubt arises. It is the bedrock which supports beliefs, values and practices. "Liberal Catholics" do not seem to find that bedrock in the actual Catholic faith. When doubt arises they fall back on their poltical ideology and declare that infallible. If such Catholics were to actually worship at the place that best represents the bedrock of their faith they would find themselves at the office of the local Democratic County Commissioner.
But the atmosphere isn't so nice there.
No stained glass don't you know.
