I posted my comment below about a week ago about Gorsuch. It was late and didn’t get much play. I should think his Church membership could be easily researched for the truth of this:

“This was recently posted on the Free Republic Illinois site, regarding Judge Gorsuch. A Red Flag warning (oh, oh):

“New Message on Illinois

Washington National Cathedral was established well over a century ago when Anglicanism was the major Christian denomination of a lot of prominent political leaders in the United States. Today it’s one of the fastest declining Christian denominations and a shell of what it used to be the United States. There are a handful of pro-life conservatives still in the Episcopalian Church USA, but they’re very rare. Most of their conservative members have left as the church became increasingly liberal over the years.

It’s true that most American Presidents have attended services at Washington National Cathedral, it’s also true that there’s a sculpture of Muhammad on the Supreme Court building in Washington D.C. Those facts would not justify a Supreme Court nominee being a member of a radical mosque in Dearborn, MI that preaches Sharia law, and it does not justify a “conservative” Supreme Court nominee being a member of a 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”.

Is it possible that Judge Gorsuch is really a Scalia-type conservative and does not share the views of the liberal church he’s worshipped at for years? Yes, it’s possible. It’s also possible Barack Obama is actually proud of this country does not share the “God Damn America” views of Rev. Wright despite attending that church for years. But if I was a betting man I wouldn’t put my money on either possibility.

Simply put: Episcopalians today tend to be very liberal. Being an Episcopalian by itself is not necessarily a sign that someone holds left-wing views. But attending a liberal church for years is definitely a bad sign and makes it unlikely that Gorsuch will be the second coming of Scalia.

“I’m not even claiming this guy is a stealth liberal, simply that his views appear to be far closer to Sandra Day O’Connor than Clarence Thomas.

If FReepers want to take the risk of giving this guy a lifetime job appointment to Scalia’s seat because there’s a slim possibility he MIGHT secretly share Scalia’s beliefs, that’s your business.

I will be urging the Senate to oppose this nominee.””

I totally agree with you, you can be very certain what kind of person they are and what they believe in by knowing what church they attend.

Based on what I have heard about his pastor and church, where he graduated from college, his upbringing, I think Trump should find a way to dump this guy. I will be opposing him also.

Is he a member of such church?

I too was very skeptical when I became aware of the church this fella attends...Birds of a feather flock together...I would really question his views on Israel and like to know his position on Izlam and the one world religion (world council of churches, etc)...

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).

Thank you for illustrating Gorsuch’s link to godless Episcopalians.

That there is a major red flag.
