As an ex-Catholic, I can speak to this. In liberal Catholicism, the adherents start with their conclusion and then formulate their theology around that; in the process, they cherry pick from the Bible to support their a prior vision. You want Jesus to be an ethical teacher? No problem; there are Bible versus to support that. Social activist? Ditto. Marxist? Sure. Capitalist, homosexual, revolutionary, etc.; the list goes on and on.
Again, stirring the bullshit clockwise versus counterclockwise but with various additives and flavors mixed in to make it more palatable to some but not to others.
