Why have Catholics historically been more left wing than

Because Protestants are stupid.

Catholics are in nature SJWs.
They like to hide that by pointing to poorer countries where you got more important matters to care about, but in any rich country you will Always find the Catholics to the left of the Protestants.

The prosperity gospel promotes greed and indifference

Why have poor minorities historically been more left wing than Anglo-Saxons in America?

I-i-it's that pope I tell ya!

Catholics are inherently traitors.
They would backstab their own nation in a heart beat, if the man in the vatican demands it.
Kulturkampf is the only valid option to be honest.

bu-but muh colonialism!

It's weird that this picture triggers so many /pol/acks

Why would you expect the leader of a universal church to correspond to your own white supremacist inclinations?

>>1910743
Cognitive dissonance

All the batshit insane protestants were deported to america.

I ain't no fortunate wife's son

Catholics aren't greedy and selfish like protestants.

Because they've traditionally been a lesser class in Protestant societies (and vice versa) so they're more likely to side with the leftists who supported them in order to gain more votes.

>>1910743
I think it's hilarious how this single act by the Pope undid 90% of the Catholic shills' progress on /pol/.

>>1910849
dog bless

>>1910849
Thank God. I wouldn't want any of them going around proclaiming to be Christian and spouting their stupid shit because 'loldeusvult'.

Are protestants more left wing in predominantly Catholic countries e.g. Spain?

>>1910849
lmao

>>1910881

They're pretty liberal even in predominantly Prod countries such as Germany, with Catholic Bavaria being conservative. It's more a class thing than anything I suppose.

*cough*

>>1910517
Charity, good works, etc.

Protestants believe that poor people are poor because they are sinful souls that are destined for hell and thus should be despised and disregarded. Hence their right-winged opinions.

Exception that proves the rule

>>1911337
There's no such thing. It's an exception that utterly trashes the rule.

Id expect him to know that Christianity is based on Europe and is tied to its civilization.
Instead of welcoming the death of Europe Christianity should be about exporting Christian/European beliefs and values

>I'd expect a South American to share my eurocentric world view and rascist tendencies

Hmm I can't seem to remember when Jesus said to preserve European culture by keeping out the non-whites

>>1910517
Because the Democrats were the party that took in the Catholics and made them an integral part of their voting machines. Republicans wanted to seal the border against Southern European immigration, e.g., Catholics. Obviously a Catholic isn't going to like it that you want to keep your wife and kids across the Atlantic. Since voter preferences are almost always due to upbringing, the children of Democrat leaning parents will become Democrat leaning. After one or two generations of this, you've basically secured yourself an entire bloc of people to your cause.

But he IS a euro. I mean yes he was born in South America, but he's not Mestizo or an Aztec or whatever.

Because America is STOOPID

Catholic universalism is socialism
Protestant elect are elitist

>>1911349
Not really. Unitarians are still more right-wing than many Catholics. They're just left by Protestant standards.

Remember that nearly every communist movement in Latin America is officially sanctioned by local clergy.

>>1911372
Christianity started in the Middle East, retard

Catholicism is a proto-newworldordite ideology.

Protestant work ethics.

Communism is literally grounds for excommunication.

>>1910517
Pre-FDR Democrats really weren't anymore left-wing than the GOP at the time, both parties had (slightly different) left-wing factions. In the GOP, the prog faction was led by New England/Wisconsin mainline protestants.

Al Smith opposed the FDR and New Deal in the 30s.

By the 50s the Catholic vote was 50/50, thanks in no small part to Republican Catholic Joe McCarthy

>>1912190
Bullshit

>>1910517
catholics don´t like laissez fare capitalism, they think not only the church but the state (the king) needs to care for the poor

Because Protestants invented capitalism.

>>1911544
This. Before conservatives pissed and moaned about Mexicans and Muslims they pissed and moaned about Irish, Italian, and German Catholics. Progressives rallied to their cause. People forget how big of a deal it was that Kennedy was our first Catholic president.

>>1910522
We care about society and justice, yes. Every decent man should. Protestantism has mostly forgotten about the Christian teachings of compassion.

>>1910522
>SJW

>Implying identity politics is either left or right

>>1913351
This. See the Church's Social Doctrine.

>>1911337
you could have just posted "I don't know the definition of the word 'always'."

>>1911372

Christianity comes from the mid east dude.

>>1911193
"The protestants" imply Protestants as a group, not each and every single group.

>>1913508
Because you in general live in poorer countries, yes, just as I said.

>>1911544

Also, because most Catholics were in fear of being labelled as Monarchist supporters, so they took the most pro-democratic option.

>>1910517
they were a poor and oppressed minority for most of their existence in america, that tends to encourage left wing politics at least in economic terms no matter how socially conservative they were
