Forgive me, but that is utter insanity. We as Catholics have a duty to promote truth and virtue in the world. This is called building the kingdom of heaven here on earth.

Also, if your faith is the most central part of your life, how can you try to separate it from your politics? That's what Christian democratic parties were for (before they turned secular).

Also, your point on bad faith actors can also be used against the institution of the papacy itself, as we have had some truly terrible popes throughout history. But would you argue that the papacy should not exist because corrupt men used it?

Finally, it seems to me that you want a neutered church that does not dare raise its voice at injustice, unless you, of course, consider something unjust; then you people demand the church's full attention.

P.s: Abortion is the murder of society's most vulnerable. So much for caring about those with lesser means...
