Do you think it would be possible to be a Catholic while having more liberal leanings such as towards abortion and homosexuality?

I believe God is a liberal, and more female. Almost all the Christian denominations teach A God that is conservative, often rigidly conservative. That doesn't make any sense to me, I have gone my own way, independent of any Christian denomination, but still considering myself a Christian in that I consider myself a follower of Jesus' teachings, not a follower of Jesus as God, and definitely not a follower of Paul.
What does this have to do with the OP's question?I believe God is a liberal, and more female. Almost all the Christian denominations teach A God that is conservative, often rigidly conservative.

That's nice but it's not answering the OP's question.I used to attend the Catholic church, I think their beliefs are too conservative, God couldn't possibly judge people for some of the stuff the Catholic church does IMHO
You can be opposed to abortion and gay marriage on religious grounds, while also being for them on Constitutional grounds, and suffer no cognitive dissonance.Do you think it would be possible to be a Catholic while having more liberal leanings such as towards abortion and homosexuality?
I would say attend the church you feel most comfortable with, and don't be afraid to have your own understandings that are not the same as the churches official position. Churches are man made institutions, not really God made. IMHO I think if you believe the Churches official position is God's position, you are making a big mistake, God is so much greater than the Church.
Sure. The Vatican has been wrong about a plethora of things throughout its history. And, they have been guilty of serious crimes against humanity. So, don't let them dictate anything when it comes to who is welcome in the Church.Do you think it would be possible to be a Catholic while having more liberal leanings such as towards abortion and homosexuality?
The simple answer is yes, you do.Do you think it would be possible to be a Catholic while having more liberal leanings such as towards abortion and homosexuality?

I was just speaking for myself as to how I develop my own ideas separate from a Church, I would think as a Bahai you would be skeptical of Paul not to mention the Catholic church too, yes??
But ya gotta remember that this label was coined in the 2nd century by the apostolic church that saw itself as being the only true church. Today it doesn't make much sense if taken literally.The title 'Catholic' is a claim of being the universal church of the universal Revelation of Jesus Christ.
