God I love this guy.
First he came out against fracking, now this. Catholicism has always been far more socialist than Protestantism, despite Latin America and the Philippines. The truth is that Catholics either go fascist or Communist, since they are basically communalist people. Left, socialist and Communist movements have always been very large in most Communist countries including Italy, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria, southern Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain and Portugal.
They have also been strong in Ireland, but less so in Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. Arab Catholics and Russians and other Orthodox have gone in for the Left in a huge way. Although Latin America has always been ruled by the Right, the Left movements have always been very strong, and were often armed and murderous. Tens of thousands of Latin American reactionaries, armed and otherwise, have been felled by the bullets of the Latin Catholic Left, which shows just how powerful they are. They are strong enough to kill you!
Even the Philippines, the Left is very strong, armed and has killed countless reactionaries.
The Catholic clergy in the US is much more liberal and Left than the Protestant clergy.
The truth is that the Left simply finds a happy home in Catholicism, and Catholicism as a religion is naturally liberal, Left, socialist and maybe even Communist. This is due mostly to the nature of the Catholic region which strongly opposes radical individualism. Protestantism, unbelievably, has adopted radical individualism, which is about as far as you can get from Jesus’s philosophy as possible.
