UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 days agothe most insane Polish catholic will be seen as moderate woke by the most enlightened American public
That’s not remotely true. And we know we isn’t true, because Victor Orban is out here funding CPAC. They’re all the same guys, in conversation with one another

Victor Orban is also very much not Polish, but what does it matter, right?
Anyway, sure, you’re technically correct, the most insane Polish Catholic is insane. Serves me right for trying to insert some literary flér of hyperbole in this serious scientific conversation.
We were talking about popluational trends and statistics though, in which case I will explicitly say that I’m talking about “median” population, not literaly the extreme 0.1%

Is he European?
Since the collapse of the USSR, the trend towards reactionary religious movements has only increased over time. You can definitely blame this on western evangelicals and Catholics piling into these countries during their brief liberalization phase. But to say Europe lacks a large and wealthy Christian community is to deny what’s in front of your eyes.
The extreme 0.1% are the ones with all the money.
Past that, European parliaments all have their variation on the Christian Democrat Party. The CDU is currently the largest party in Germany, following the ignominious collapse of Olaf’s Greens. Idk how you win 208 MPs without a plurality of popular support.
