The Catholic subreddits were filled with bile filled people praising Trump and wringing their hands at othering the queer community. Honestly one of the worst places I saw when I was on reddit.

Yeah that’s not surprising. Catholicism has gotten quite a few converts by being the conservative religion with aesthetic in America in the 21st century.

It’s definitely not the religion of the Jesuits who taught me as a teenager that however god made you is good and that learning more about the world is a holy act anymore

For most Catholics, abortion is the only issue that exists, so that's not surprising.
