63: Can You Be a Catholic and a Libertarian?

63: Can You Be a Catholic and a Libertarian?

It’s common among Catholics to claim that libertarianism is incompatible with Catholicism. Liberal Catholics dismiss it as uncaring toward the poor and needy. Conservative Catholics would say libertarians endorse immorality like abortion and same-sex marriage. But I would argue that these criticism flow from a misunderstanding of libertarianism (and a misunderstanding of Catholicism).
