I am a member of, and regularly attend, the Roman Catholic Church. From the Pontiff himself to most parish priests, the Church asserts that countries should accept all refugees that come to their doors, especially economic refugees. Does that mean that I, ipso facto of my membership in the Church, am a supporter of open borders? Or that, if I were in SCOTUS, I could be expected to rule against President Trump’s plans to perform extreme vetting on immigrants from terrorist areas, build a border wall, strongly enforce E-Verify, etc.? Were you to believe that, then you don’t know anything about me. And if you oppose all Catholic judges because they “go to the Red Pope’s church,” then I guess that President Trump won’t be able to nominate Judge Hardiman or Judge Pryor either.
You should judge Neil Gorsuch on his record, not on the fact that he attends the church of his father and grandfather and great-grandfather and so on (the Gorsuches have been Episcopalians for many generations).
Those of faith can disagree on the refugee situ and both be doing “The Lords Work”(widows and orphans). Being a participating member of a church accepting homosexual marriage and baby killing (in the guise of women’s rights) tells me all I need to know about a future judges real, basic morale fiber, political leaning, and therefore the direction his future rulings will take.
Untrue. Gorsuch was brought up as a Catholic by his mother Ann, and attended an elite all boys Catholic school in Washington D.C. run by the Jesuit order. He became Episcopalian as adult, while at Oxford.
Furthermore, the other Episcopalian church in Boulder, St. Aidan's, supports traditional marriage and emphasizes that fact on its website. If he wanted to, he could EASILY attend a more conservative church in his denomination without inconveniencing his family. He chooses to attend the one with an ultra-liberal "priestess" as his pastor
>> not on the fact that he attends the church <<
Should the fact Obama attended his wife's hate whitey church for decades not influenced my decision to vote against him? It possible that he didn't share Rev. Wright's "God Damn America" views as his supporters claimed, right?
<< You should judge Neil Gorsuch on his record <<
Oh believe me, I've been looking into that as well... looking at rulings where he refers to unborn babies as "nonviable fetuses" and says men who "feel" they are women should be referred to as women. He's issued a few rulings I like but overall he's far closer to Sandra Day O'Connor than Scalia.
“You should judge Neil Gorsuch on his record, not on the fact that he attends the church of his father and grandfather and great-grandfather and so on (the Gorsuches have been Episcopalians for many generations).”
“leftist church in Boulder, CO with a female priest that marches with women dressed as vaginas and has a partnership at the church to promote LGBTQ rights.”
He should have gone to a different Episcopal Church, not this one.
