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.
