There's some things he says about feminism that irritate me. That said, he has been 100% on point with the gender identity nonsense. I believe recently he even clarified that there are two SEXES, and that gender wasn't real.

Dude, he's a conservative Catholic.

I, a liberal on most issues, recently had a delightful conversation with a devoutly Catholic woman who has done more to stop the Equality Act than just about any one else I know of, except perhaps the women of WoLF and some other conservative women.

I believe that we women are fighting for our lives against gender ideology, so those of us who are comfortable doing so (!), should feel free to make alliances with women whose beliefs we might not be 100% aligned with, but who will fight with us on this issue and this issue alone.

I know that. I don't disagree with all of his Catholic values. I do disagree with some of the things he's said about feminism. Do you think all Catholics have identical beliefs? My best friend is also Catholic, we disagree about abortion all the time - but I agree with her more often about other feminist ideas than I do this guy.

I know there are "liberal" Catholics, but IMO feminism and Catholicism naturally do not go together at all.

Sure, I respect that. There's some pretty fundamental aspects of Catholic teachings that I don't agree with, morally, intellectually, and as a feminist. But I'm always of the attitude that I'll listen to any argument about anything, from any position.

Good for you lefterfield. This shows you are tolerant and open-minded.
