text: You have to love liberal dissidents. They psychoanalyze why people believe Church teaching---because there just HAS to be some kind of psychological explanation for why people embrace the teachings they embrace that aren't liberal and dissident. 
  
  It can't possibly be because people actually researched the claims of the Roman Catholic Church and found them to be convincing. It can't possibly be that people actually think for themselves and evaluate the claims of liberal, secular, humanistic atheism and reject them as nonsensical. No---there just HAS to be a psychological reason. 
  
  Sir, I can do that too: people are liberal because they are overcome with guilt.  They see people who do not have what they have and feel guilty for having what they have. By feigning that they care--they don't actually do anything about poverty or human suffering--but they do assuage their guilt. They are able to feel better about themselves because they "care."
