California Senator Dianne Feinstein raised the issue of the “dogma” of a Catholic judicial nominee, which sparked a backlash, including this direct response from Notre Dame president Rev. John Jenkins:
Considering your questioning of my colleague Amy Coney Barrett during the judicial confirmation hearing of September 6, I write to express my confidence in her competence and character, and deep concern at your line of questioning.
Professor Barrett has been a member of our faculty since 2002, and is a graduate of our law school. Her experience as a clerk for Judge Laurence Silberman of the U.S. Court of Appeals and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is of the highest order. So, too, is her scholarship in the areas of federal courts, constitutional law and statutory interpretation. I am not a legal scholar, but I have heard no one seriously challenge her impeccable legal credentials.
Your concern, as you expressed it, is that “dogma lives loudly in [Professor Barrett], and that is a concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for years in this country.” I am one in whose heart “dogma lives loudly,” as it has for centuries in the lives of many Americans, some of whom have given their lives in service to this nation. Indeed, it lived loudly in the hearts of those who founded our nation as one where citizens could practice their faith freely and without apology.

Obviously, it didn’t “take”.
That where she got her Marxist indoctrination?
I loved Feinstein as Mrs. Lorain McFly in Back to the Future.
So what? Fidel Castro was a product of Catholic education, too.

They should both be excommunicated.
Yes, she certainly is a product of Catholic education; specifically, she attended the Sacred Heart Convent in San Francisco. Here is the “educational philosophy” as posted on their website:
https://www.sacredsf.org/the-education/educational-philosophy
As Sacred Heart educators, we believe the integration of sensing in all its forms – intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical – is foundational to teaching and learning. In addition, a developed interiority and a sense of purpose increase the capacity for the education to take hold and be relevant.
Interrogating our philosophy and bringing it to practice requires our educators to continually ask the following questions:
What is the relevant methodology for:
a rich engagement with information?
translating information through sense-making and knowledge formation?
fluid recall and integration?
appropriate application and delivery?
learner output to be a unique expression of deep, personal understanding?
ensuring that students connect their learning to purposeful engagement in the world?
At least that’s what they are doing now!!! COMPLETE GOBBLEDY_GOOK!! Not sure where “Catholic” comes into it!!
Not all schools are created equal and not all Catholic schools are created equal. Every school once in while produces a misfit. Her father was Jewish. Was her mother Catholic? Whose idea was it to “send” her to Catholic school? She seems to put her finger to the California breezes and decide what will keep her in office.
It’s because the public schools were screwed up even then.
A product?
Obviously, a defective product. Half-price sale!
The only time Fineswine gave a hoot for the Constitution was that it served some means to get her selected to the long since become criminal Senate where she clusters with the other cockroaches therein.
yes, DiFi is a graduate of Sacred Heart High School...
but obviously it didn’t work in her case, or at least she’s forgotten her morals and ethics lessons
probably at her age...Alzheimers
Her definition of Dogma differs from the established Catholic one. She thinks it’s liberal dog whistling.
So she is continuing her campaign against the Catholic Church?
So was Jorge Bergoglio.
Ditto!
Jesuit??
