May our Lord Jesus give us wisdom
I still have issues with the term " Liberalism " even as you have explained it .
" to assure unrestricted development " this is something that cannot happen in the Lord . To be unrestricted is to have no law whatsoever . And I assure you there are Laws in God's Word , that cannot be broken .
As far as the politics between Catholics and Protestants neither are innocent it would be folly to focus your attention on one or the other has both have failed throughout their histories .
The most important thing that both the Catholics and the Protestants have to do is seek to forgive and seek God's love between them as they are both God's children .
Apostle Paul was the most liberated man in Jesus’ time, having been born and raised into a religious system that didn’t even recognize their own promises Messiah...to a new creature with a new complete understanding. Though he was completely “free” he chose to be totally dependent on God.
Children are also “free”. They have a natural instinct to believe for their minds have not been indoctrinated by a system of man-made interpretations. Maybe this is why Jesus looked upon the little children and said that we must be like them.
If we are all perfectly honest with ourselves, we will admit to a degree of Dark liberalism in our lives. Why else would the church today have virtually no impact in the world? Mega pastors mostly preach a feel good message (dark liberation), then serve up coffee and donuts after their sermon. And virtually no one is preaching repentance and purity.
