    There may not be the same quantity, but reach matters, too. The Catholic Church has had two blatantly left-leaning Popes in a row now. While it’s been in a slow decline for a good while, surely they’re still large enough to matter?

      Left leaning popes for an organization that is still very much not of the left… I will admit my bias, I find no reason for any of these churches to be exempt from anything but contempt. But I’ve also seen nothing but lip service for anything close to the “left” I wouldn’t even argue center.
