That isn't what I'm talking about--though you can see that on both the left and right. But the history of women (especially) religious is filled with reformers of all sorts.
Nunsuch, interesting. There are definitely communities that have a "social justice" kind of focus now that you mention it. I hadn't thought of it. I do still think that really partisan political involvement on the part of religious or priests can be really scandalous. (I could name names so to speak, but I don't think that would be helpful.)
