    It’s literally in their Bible… This should just be standard. Not special.

        Catholics are discouraged from interacting directly with the Bible. Priests are supposed to be the mediators between the faithful and the doctrine.

          This is completely false. There is a reading guide that Catholics are encouraged to follow every day. I think it traverses the entire Bible every 3 years in this manner, with everyone reading the same passages at the same time to encourage discussion.

          You might be thinking old school, back when mass was in Latin.

      Yep. Also Catholic official “recommended ideology of state” was distributivism last time I checked, which is something of a holy mix (can’t be unholy mix in this situation) between anarcho-capitalism and anarcho-syndicalism with a conservative touch.

      It has its downsides, but the upsides are that limiting immigration, legal inequality, racism and fascism are in theory not allowed there.

      (Just in case someone thinks Peter Thiel and such people’s ideas are what Catholic church recommends, and they surely want to make such an impression, - no.)
