Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic answers.

It's no secret that conservatives are more likely to believe in God and support

traditional moral views like being pro-life.

This graph from 538 shows that in the last 30 years, conservatives have remained fairly

religious, while liberals who don't identify with any religion have risen from 10% to 40% of liberals.

But conservative is not synonymous with Christian, and sharing faith in the true God is infinitely

more important than sharing certain political views.

That's why in today's episode I'm going to talk about two types of people who either identify

as conservatives or at least claim to oppose modern liberalism or modern leftism who still need to be

converted to a full acceptance of the Gospel Jesus Christ and the teachings of his church.

First, they're the immoral individualists. These are people who

tend to be economic conservatives, but also support liberal social policies.

There are people like Dave Rubin, who say they left the left because liberals went crazy on social issues,

but then perpetuate their own kind of crazy by doing things like ordering children via surrogates

to be part of their so-called gay families.

It's also hypocritical for conservatives to ridicule political opponents, like Pete Buttigigig

for depriving children of a mother and father, but congratulate political allies like Dave Rubin

for doing the exact same thing.

Conservatism leads to anarchism.

If you don't have a consistent virtuous worldview that you're actually trying to conserve.

When it comes to sexual immorality, so-called same-sex marriage, drag queen story hour, and transgender ideology did not come out of nowhere.

They came from, partly from conservatives decades ago in the mid-20th century who said contraception isn't a moral issue as long as I don't have to pay for it
