The vast majority of Protestant practices are disgusting, I'm not taking their side in some sectarian fight. I'm saying that Catholicism is also ultimately a conservative-to-reactionary social formation that has impeded communism, and victories for a genuinely socialist left among Catholic populations has generally been in spite of rather than because of Catholicism (as I would say for Protestantism).
