[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to those who say he’s a liberal, what about this?

https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/08/pope-robert-prevost-lgbt/[/quote]

He is a liberal Catholic.  Pro-Latin America.  Which is a very specific thing.

He is pro-choice of course.  Also anti-IVF and any reproductive technology.

Anti-LGBT and Gay marriage.  Both of these are not optional for someone who is in that kind of a position of power within the Church.

He is also someone who likely has a Latin American sensibility about distribution of wealth and does not love the new power we have deemed billionaires worthy of.

He holds the position that the Catholic Church long has on immigration, on meeting the needs of the poor and on the environment and the need for Peace.

None of this puts him out of step with the Bishops of the world, with the US Bishops' Conference or with the Vatican.  
The fact that he has navigated the Vatican for so long means that he won't be easily tripped up.

I think it's a great choice.  And yes, most definitely a choice meant to put a check on any of the US Conservative Catholics (Supreme Court Justices, anyone?) who think that they are called by their faith to affirm immigrants being sent to concentration camps.  Obviously.[/quote]

According to MSN, he's also a registered Republican, something that has been verified by other news sources (e.g., NewsMax).[/quote]

I'm the PP who wrote this.  It doesn't surprise me that he's a registered Republican.  That doesn't contradict anything I wrote.  Liberal Catholic is not at all the same thing as progressive.[/quote]

Another Chicagoan who registered Republican as a young person: HRC.[/quote]
