Catholics are pretty politically diverse. There are plenty of liberals, but plenty of conservatives, too. It's hard because there are Catholic issues on both sides of the fence. The official Catholic stance on abortion is right wing, but their stance on the death penalty is left wing, for example.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
