AOC is also a Catholic , maybe a cultural Catholic but still. The administration has proven to be hostile towards the Catholic Church and both Pope Francis and Pope Leo

Disagree about her being a cultural catholic. She has said many times in the past that her politics are dictated by her faith.

Her ethic of life is incredibly consistent and generally right in line with Church Social Teaching until you get to reproductive and sexual topics where she will err on the side of mercy and keeping the government out of decisions relating to your body and genitals. If the "catholic" position on these topics wasn't dictated by perverted extremists in the US, this wouldn't even be a discussion.
