All more MAGA than the next.
Nice people but limited in scope.

And I have family in very Catholic areas.
Worse yet. Yikes is all I can say.
Sad.

But yes I would love to met liberal Catholics.
I would like that.

I was raised American- Irish Catholic, Irish grandparents.
We weren't long on American Catholics anyway.
We were more cultural Catholics, followed all the rules, went to Mass, etc.
But were not that religious.
One of my aunts was a nun, one of my uncles a priest.
Good, kind, smart people, but not hyper religious either.
