I actually experienced the bad side, but also the good side, being raised Catholic. Catholics are not one size fits all, just like not all people of any race or creed are interchangeable. Pope Leo, has the ability to make some reforms. Whether he will or not remains to be seen, but at least so far he's been speaking out to remind the American Bishops that their mission is to serve those in need, and not the christian nationalist movement. I am willing to give him the benefit of doubt for now.

Just like not all Americans are brainwashed followers of tsf, not all American Catholics are lock step followers of the Conservative wing of the the church.
