The only religious prejudice applauded by the Left
Someone tell me why it's OK to continously bash Catholics (even to the point of suggesting that Judges who are Catholic should not be allowed to participate in abortion cases)?
What I find most heinous in the suggestion by Christopher Morris, writing in the Boston Globe. is the idea that there should be "mandatory disqualification of Catholic judges from abortion cases ". (Italics mine)
Go read his anti-Catholics in public life article. Read the last two paragraphs -
One would think Catholic judges would want such a measure in place as a means of honoring their own convictions. That this proposal will no doubt be controversial should not be a reason for failing to pursue it: Political advocacy by religious organizations is on the rise and will only become stronger. If the subject is ducked this time by the Senate Judiciary Committee, it will only come up later in a more aggravated form..It's time to have this dialogue. Without it, the decisions of our highest court, already tainted by the Bush-Gore election, will increasingly be perceived as self-serving, political, and illegitimate.
Now, tell me that this guy does *not* have a conflict of interest of his own here. He wants Catholics to be gagged because his candidate did not win.

He's got a really poor idea of what a Catholic is and it's beliefs toward civil government. Or doesn't care.

And not all Catholics are devote, following every law to the letter, people.
Unless Roberts has said he believes everything the catholic church teaches and lives and breaths by what the pope says then people need to take a chill pill about it.
But look at John Kennedy and how people were freaking that if he was elected the Catholic Church was going to take over the U.S.
Nice to know people fear Catholics so much, I need to start using that to my advantage
