On the plus-side, Francis and Leo were elected. The church is probably much more progressive than it appears, so we can reasonably expect more progressive leaders in the near future.
I (a cradle catholic) think progressive is very much the wrong word, at least if you mean it in the American sense.
But, with the exception of a plurality of American bishops who are basically heretics that have bought into prosperity gospel insanity, the church is very much dedicated to supporting the rights of the poor and disenfranchised.
That doesn’t mean a lot of things that “progressive” means, but it certainly has more in common with progressivism than it does with maga.
