this is a bunch of antisemitic fascists (literally) who think the catholic church got too woke and needs to RETVRN to acting as a state religion with an official policy of violent suppression of every non-catholic person, who they consider subhuman

From their Profession of Faith:

This is why I profess that those who govern society must submit to the salutary influence of the Church, which enlightens minds through her Magisterium, heals and strengthens wills through the grace of the sacraments, and directs man towards his true supernatural destiny, of which she is the guardian. The good of society consequently demands that heads of state recognize their right and duty to favour and protect the holy Church, and likewise to oppose by the laws of their government whatever would obstruct her necessary influence, which is that of the one true religion.

and

I likewise hold that, although man possesses an ontological dignity which raises him above material beings, the human dignity to be respected is not indifferent to the truth and error professed by persons, nor to the good and evil they accomplish: he who professes error or does evil forfeits his moral dignity. This is why legitimate authority in no way attacks human dignity when it punishes crimes according to the demands of justice, by proportionate penalties, in order to defend the common good against grave disorders.

(emphasis mine; "professes error" here = "is not catholic")
