I am not sure if this is the right board to post this, as this site is largely for Protestants.
I will admit I have been using this site less and less because I have been exploring Catholicism. While I like most things about it (the rosary, beautiful churches, beautiful literature, strong morals, etc.), I do have one particular problem: the Catholic subreddit. I am a patriotic American and the users spend an unhealthy amount of time bashing the United States.
I have mentioned before that I disagree with a small few of the Church's teachings, especially its views against the death penalty. In my opinion, if we are anti-abortion we must be anti-murder as well.
Today former President Joe "Brandon" Biden decided to pardon 37 murderers. To add insult to injury a cardinal praised this disgusting act. What especially enraged me is that people on Reddit are praising Creepy Uncle Joe and moaning about the death penalty. The way some of these people are talking, they want to canonize these murders as saints and make them their new gods.
My question is: is this actually how Catholics think or is all this because Reddit is a liberal anti-religion site even the parts of it that are supposed to cater to Christians?
Bonus question: is this really Catholicism or is this a result of Vatican 2's stupidity?
