Sorry, bro! The pope is infallible! No take backsies!
Either way, Poop Franshits doesn't actually believe in any of the "progressive" stuff he puts out. It's just a trick to make Catholicism look slightly less exclusionary for the people who'll actually buy into it.
Though based Catholics exist, the church as an institution has a long ass way to go
it's funny how catholics since birth don't take it all that seriously and tend to be more progressive (or at least, less reactionary) while converts are all tryhard chuds. It's like they didn't even research what religion they were converting to by living among majority catholic areas or going to catholic church a bunch. They got converted by some other fringe catholic wingnut for political, career or monetary reasons and thought the church would all be people like that but 70% are just like... poor normal working people in South America or Italian farmers or something.

Your mileage may seriously vary on this, especially when considering latam. In Latam, Evangelicals soak up the bulk of the chuds who convert just because they're too fascist not to be Christian. Catholic converts come in all shapes and sizes instead. Meanwhile, cradle Catholics just tend to overlap a ton with the most reactionary demographics, a lot of white middle class people. I can't speak on how this maps to indigenous people in Latam since I don't know any and I don't live in a country with a big indigenous community.
In Guatemala they tend to fuse it with their own belief system to create a hybrid of sorts. The more reactionary ones tend to be ones that Evangelicals and Mormons got to. They’re less geographically isolated and tend to live in the cities. There are quite a few though who are strictly Catholic/Evangelical and they are more morehostile towards queer people while not being as hard-right as the Evangelicals on everything else.
The ones near me still stick to their traditional beliefs but they’re a bit of an outlier compared to the Mayans that make up most of Guatemala’s indigenous population.

I wish this applied to my particular case. My Cradle Catholic family was ruthless.
