Purp may consider him/herself a very conservative catholic. There have always been different currents within catholicism. It's not the monolithic block that some believers (and some non-believers) would suggest.
The idea of papal infallibility, for example, is a little over a hundred years old as accepted dogmatically (by some). Would that make papal infallibility "traditional" to a thousand year old organization - give or take a few hundred years, of course?
More power to Purplundy if they believe they're conservative. Unless Purplundy finds it offensive that I labeled him/her as liberal, I don't think it matters really.
In another thread, I said how people will interpret same words differently. And that's all there is here.
