How the left honors clerics

The left honors clerics if they are atheists or communists, or at least reject requisite portions of what the religion to which they officially adhere officially or generally stands for, but only if not in favor of beliefs and values not of the left.

They would just as soon steal a church as destroy it.

Maybe sooner!

Reading Iron Curtain.

P.S.

Pope Francis?

Well, is their alternating approval and disapproval of him a counter-example to my claim?

I think not.

To understand the culture war and what the left is doing, and attempting to do, with morality it is useful, though not absolutely essential, to read Nietzsche.

On the other hand, how would I honor a cleric?

Well, in much the same way, really, come to that.

With reference to my own values and beliefs, of course.

Just like them.

Which is at least sincere.

As opposed to honoring those who believe or value what I do not, for my own advantage or for whatever reason.
