I went to a Catholic college. The monks and nuns were some of the most liberal people I’ve ever met. They were the people most trying to live like Jesus (no violence, barely any belongings, help the poor, feed the hungry) that I’ve seen.

I don’t know why people think Catholics are so conservative. I get that the super religious ones are but that’s true pretty much across the spectrum of religions. In the US, we’ve only had 2 Catholic presidents and they were both liberal Democrats (also both only single termers, though we thankfully did not lose Biden like Kennedy).
I remember back when I was in college at BYU-H, a Mormon university, Mitt Romney was running and everyone was backing him, thinking “Yes, Mormons are all like this”. Ironically, they all ignored [Harry Reid, the Senate Majority leader](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Reid#Leadership) at the time, thus making him the most powerful Mormon in politics.
