Overall, he has been very political and trying to infuse leftist politics with theology, even if it conflicts with Catechisms. I can't tell if he's doing this because he naively thinks it will bring back leftists, or if he actually believes it given his upbringing. Well, given my experience watching the Mainline evaporate, get ready for Catholic membership to crater. Surprisingly, people aren't motivated to keep the faith when you make up theology on the fly.
