- toyg 10y agoItaly is exceptional in the sense that official Catholic positions are hugely influential. This pope adopted a very strong stance on refugees' rights and is fairly liberal on gay rights, hence why right-wing parties struggle to build a coherent "God, country, family" narrative. It's incredibly funny how the most liberal worldview currently exposed by a head of state comes from a millennial theocracy. (Edit: it should be noted, however, that on workers' rights the current Italian government is very much on the right. It's basically a centrist administration with papal influence.)
