The Catholic "left" was the dominant faction of Catholic Church by the time Jonh Paul II was elected. Before that, Paul VI followed the work of John XXIII in making the Church more and more progressive, mainly by the II Vatican Council, when Paul died, John Paul I was elected and committed himself in continuing the work of his antecessors, unfortonaly, his papacy lasted only one month because he ~~was killed~~ died. In his place, Cardinal Wojtyła was elected, a notorious anticommunist that persecuted the followers of Liberation Theology (still, so were strong the movements behind the II Vatican Counsil that its achivments endured), his inquistor in that process became Benedict VI. The elections of Francis and Leon XIV apparently mark the restoration of John XXIII's tradition.
My point is this: if Paul VI wasn't so lenient, maybe the victory of catholic "left" could have been more definitive. But my original post was kind of a joke: these trad-"caths" make me crazy.
