Honestly, I think it’s fair enough to say ‘no true Scotsman’ is an invalid analogy to something that does have codified laws, teachings and commandments… (Of course, following the laws, teachings and commandments is not the point of biblical Christianity (the idea being that it is impossible to in humanity’s current state), but Christians should want to, and strive towards being better at it, while being honest about their shortcomings!)

Catholicism is thoroughly codified, and much of the letter of the law would be considered right-wing; left-leaning philosophy within the Church relies on vague "spirit of Vatican II" arguments and appeals for a fundamental return to what is presented as a Christ-like life, but that doesn't sit well with "This is not 'Nam--there are rules" Catholics.
