Is Catholicism a Part of a National Conservatism?

Historically, historically, french catholics have been able to harbor intensely nationalistic feelings. I remember a early on, when took over as editor, jim nichter line was chatting with me, and he insisted that, first things, was always committed to conservative liberalism, not liberal conservatism. And contnetty would fall into the category of a conservative liberal. But you know, in fairness, these are a borderlandish sante.
