when you think about it, christianity’s TRUE values align with the social aspects of democratic politics. i don’t think what you’re looking for is unrealistic, just might be hard to find bc unfortunately too many “christians” (/“catholics”) don’t actually care about jesus’ values

That’s what I mean! Acquaintances are surprised that I’m a democrat and Catholic but I was taught to love everyone and care for my neighbor. I feel like the true values align exactly but I don’t see many people who believe in both and it makes me worry about finding my person
