Well, that's certainly true. Indeed, take me for example: I'm a communist, for pete's sake. I want to confiscate all the property of the capitalists, fully nationalize the means of production, and have an entirely state-owned planned economy. And I support Leninist strategies for achieving these goals.
But when it comes to the liturgy, or indeed any aspect of the faith, whether it's a matter of theology or a matter of worship, I'm an arch-traditionalist. Thou shalt not mess with the Church. And thou shalt certainly not change liturgical practices willy-nilly, just to be "modern" or for other nonsensical reasons like that.
Well you certainly have an interesting way of looking at religion. Separate politics and religious beliefs too or do your beliefs influence how you approach politics?
