Something eye-opening I heard from a very devout friend is that a lot of churches preach avoiding evil. Don't watch horror movies, don't read about violence, etc. You don't want those ideas in your thoughts.
Her church teaches that religion and politics should never mix. And because of that....she is ignorant to politics.
This is purely anecdotal and I'm definitely not absolving them for it but it does make some sense
This is how religion and politics should interact
Great respect for Dorothy Day, and any of the several people attempting to actually follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Yeah I have mixed feelings on Blessed Day (ok her current title is excellent), because on one hand if she wasn't left wing she'd be a saint by now. But on the other hand
I still have strong opinions on catholicism as is my right as someone who's an apostate to it. And the fact is that the catholic workers are some of the best leftists you'll get if you want people do do some good praxis but don't mind them turning themselves in to the cops or actively not talking about abortion.
