How much does Libertarianism contradict Catholic Social Teaching?
I had some discussions going on over at the Catholicism subreddit, and I was basically told that you cannot be a Libertarian and simultaneously a Catholic. Why? Because Catholic Social Teaching is a doctrine which Catholics have to submit to and see as free from error.
i am Catholic, and while I believe in God and the soul, this would mean that I would have to abandon the Church because it directly contradicts my political worldviews (which I will never abandon, because they just seem too logical for me, it’s like admitting 2 2=5 if I abandon the libertarian worldview).
So now the question is: Maybe Catholic Social Teaching was just interpreted in a “too leftist” light? Maybe we can interpret it in a Libertarian way?
Anyone has looked into it?
