Former Catholic myself, my mom still is.
Yes it is possible to be in a camp in hopes for reform which is certainly liberal, but you cant deny the bigoted history, which still has a an institution with figurehead that tells one part of the world one thing then tells another part of the world another.
Just like gay republicans or even women or black republicans. YES it is possible, my only question is WHY?
Same with even liberal black Christians. MLK is certainly was an empathetic man, but the slave trade that brought most blacks to the United States were white Christians who forced them to convert and raised the generations afterwards as slaves, and even after slavery ended bible based bigotry was used to fight desegregation.
I really do love my well intended liberal believing friends, but they have to know, whatever good they think their religion provides, there is a right wing to that same religion that is using the same book to justify their morality too.
But again, that goes with ALL religions worldwide, not just Catholics and not just Christianity.
