Sadly, our Catholic Church is a victim of its own complicity as its own alt-right. If, Catholic social thought is to become a legitimate instrument to preserve and enhance "liberal democracy" it must first meet the credibility and consistency tests:
1. How correspondent or consistent is the institution with Christ's "medium and message". Not.
2.Catholic social thought is in its essence a progression of intelligent reflection of and articulation of evolving civilization.  As "Catholic" it has benefited from the "organized" intellectual development, but, it has also been and still is a divisive factor associated with an ideology rather than the human race. 
3.How in the name of all that is good and holy can "Catholic" social thought endorse liberal democracy and the equality of persons when it is hierarchical and, let's face it misogynistic. (There is no other way to explain - with a modicum of credibility - the exclusion and diminution of women "..in the church and in the world".
