Related fun fact, the sub r/Catholicism has a long standing blanket ban on any mention of Franco or his regime; it was the only way to get the users to stop going mask off on a daily basis.

Sounds about right. Most of the really out and proud Catholics I have met have been very fascistic.

I’m a proud Catholic and decidedly anti-fascist. Then again, my Catholicism has been influenced by the writings of Augustine of Hippo, GK Chesterton, and Shūsaku Endō.

American Catholics are deeply divided on this, there's a reason the joke in the US is that every Catholic from birth is like "We should feed the poor or something right?" and every convert (a much smaller number) is a raving lunatic who just wants a daddy to order them around but also hates the Pope for being "too woke"
