    as a person raised in what was a very conservative catholic household in latin america, I feel like there is a new wave of very reactionary catholicism coming from the US that makes the Opus Dei or Legionaireslook like reasonable people.

      Yeah you’re getting a pretty hard split between people who subscribed to liberation theology/broader social justice messages and those who basically want to create an American Catholicism that resembles born again Christianity (see: the rise of charismatic churches) that preach something more akin to the prosperity gospel.
