A few years ago I was one of two evangelicals at a conference where one of the speakers was an Australian 'ecofeminist' Catholic, and a leading Muslim Imam from a Muslim college in Britain.
The audience were mainly traditional Catholics. Most of them were appalled at the ecofeminist, but delighted by the Imam. This is because he made an unapologetic defence of old-fashioned family values, of the very kind that had been denounced by the ecofeminist speaker, despite her notional Catholicism.
