That should thrill the FR Catholics, throwing off the Catholic Church for the Church of England... for a wife. Sounds like something one of the Tudors might have done, now what was his name?

I'm less worried about that than about the fact that he attended a Jesuit prep school and *then* converted. I'm a product of a Jesuit prep school. With rare exception, they turn out indifferent or apostate Catholics who very often leave the Church. In my experience, those who leave the Church for Episcopalianism are never anything close to conservative.

His record in the judiciary appears to be exemplary, to the extent that issues of concern to Constitutional Originalists have been put in front of him. I’m going to continue to rely upon that, however his educational and religious background as well as the nature of the church he has attended do worry me. I had assumed before today that he was a lifelong Episcopalian, that it was traditional in his family, an historical tie. I know the surname and a few who bear it, from Virginia, no doubt distant cousins. It’s an old colonial era Virginia family. I’m prone to being rather reflexively suspicious of Episcopalians, rightly or wrongly. I suppose this too is due to historical family ties of my own, in colonial era Virginia.

for what it is worth. He didn’t pick a church out of the phone book.
