She has been a controversial figure for quite a while because as a writer she has freelance for the American Catholic magazine and reviewed a book about Catholicism and homosexuality and yadayada her thoughts were..not good.

I too appreciated her at the time and she used to post in /r/cth actually lol, but she does a disservice for leftist causes when she ends up siding with reactionary politics for the sake of nuance. I think I finally lost it when she wrote an article about her uncle refusing to vaccinate against covid as some great moral dilemma when in reality it contradicted not just her so called pro-life beliefs and her professed love for her uncle by refusing to argue the point of vaccination any further.

I think there is a place for religion in the left. But it has to be a revolutionary religious manifestation, you can't wrap dogmatic and antiquated beliefs around red banners and call it revolutionary. That is, abolish homophobia, transphobia, patriarchy, gender norms, private property, etc from dogmatic prescriptions or interpretations of Bible and Canonical thought - explicitly apply a material analysis to the writings of theologians and try and bring universal principles, if they exist, into the modern times. Create and codify protections for religious minorities. And create truly democratic institutions that oversee church doctrine.
