I admittedly am not a very big fan of discussing politics. I find them very tiring and not beneficial to my spiritual wellbeing. I understand that they are important, and that Catholics have an obligation to speak the Truth in all things, including political and moral matters (speaking against socialism, abortion, sodomy, open-borders, etc). But when it seems like every politician is just a different part of the same evil globalist Zionist force, I grow weary of hearing about it. I am sick of the modern world, and all of the fakeness of everything mainstream, and trying to convince "mainstreamlings" that everything is not what it seems appears to me useless most of the time. I don't mean to be afraid of talking to those (liberals or conservatives) who will hate me for my political beliefs, and that isn't my intention. But is there a certain degree to which a Catholic should involve himself in politics? Or can a Catholic "keep to himself" in political matters with the exception of when he would be required to speak the moral Truth (again, speak out against abortion and sodomy, etc)?

It may even be wrong to LIKE politics.  Now, we might have it for our duty to engage in them to a certain extent, but to LIKE them?  Meh, if you actually like that nonsense, there may be something wrong with you.  

How would St. Thomas Aquinas answer the question?  For him politics is the rational ordering of the community for the common good, grounded in natural law, aimed at fostering virtue, and exercised through just authority.

Sigh ... that's obviously not what OP is talking about, but about the actual dynamics involved in various individuals vying to lead said ordering of community, and rarely in any rational manner -- and the given the fact that all current politics and politicians are simply stage actord playing different roles in a Jєωιѕн Kayfabe put on for the consumption, entertainment, and control of the goy.

Not sure, but presumably he could look to Lad for some good advice.

If society were rightly ordered, and ruled by Catholic philosopher-kings, with hosts of courtiers and counselors whose task is to advise the king wisely, the masses of people would not have to worry about questions of government or polity, and could go about their business in both the spiritual and the secular realms, according to their particular gifts.  Sadly, we're far removed from that, and we have to roll up our sleeves and engage in the often-unpleasant task of running things ourselves.  That includes politics.

As Charles Coulombe once put it (I'm paraphrasing), I'd rather be ruled by a king who fears for his salvation if he doesn't govern me properly, than to be led by secular masters for whom I'm nothing more than a cow to be milked.

 
Agreed -- absolutely!
