Actually Souter is Episcopalian and Thomas has bounced back and forth. But your concluding abbreviation in capital letters kind of proved my point didn’t it. Dominus Vobiscum,
My reply proved nothing, it was just a statement of fact. Souter is no longer on the Supreme Court by the way, and Thomas is a Catholic. Many of my close friends are Catholic, so what was your original point.
“Statements like Carsons were commonly made about preventing Catholics from holding office...”
I considered your original point drivel, I could just as easily have substituted “protestant” in your statement and used it in the present tense. It would still be drivel. After living under affirmative action for some forty plus years I’m tired of hearing the “we are being persecuted” mantra and it’s actually getting worse forty plus years later.
