A few people said I should go to church to rizz up girls who aren't woke but to be fair there are a lot of liberal churches in my area. Like one of them literally has a rainbow flag at the door and did blm stuff when that was a thing.

Repentance/redemption/salvation is actually so important in Catholicism that it is considered a Sacrament. Many good priests talk about it often and make themselves available for confession 24/7. Unfortunately some priests do not promote this as much as they should, but their failure doesn't negate it's necessary role.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1424): It is called the sacrament of confession, since the disclosure or confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. In a profound sense it is also a "confession" - acknowledgment and praise - of the holiness of God and of his mercy toward sinful man.
It is called the sacrament of forgiveness, since by the priest's sacramental absolution God grants the penitent "pardon and peace."
It is called the sacrament of Reconciliation, because it imparts to the sinner the love of God who reconciles: "Be reconciled to God." He who lives by God's merciful love is ready to respond to the Lord's call: "Go; first be reconciled to your brother."
