A majority of Catholics (I am one - practicing again despite our anti-Pope) vote Democrat (of course I don’t). Wonder if this will be enough to open some eyes? Sadly doubt it.
Knights is popular on Staten island and well regarded.
Hey! The the Church of Bob members are upright members of the community. They're okay.
Oh, don't you worry. The Constitution will suddenly be important the second any such line of inquiry is directed at any Muslim candidate.
Trust and believe.
Nah. They know Pelosi is a Catholic - and Christian - in name only. Pelosi whoreships only one god: herself. Hence her real religion: socialism.
this is not new this is a throwback to pre 1950s
Ideally, they would be photogenic and good speakers. That seems to be the critical qualification for public office nowadays.
My secret cabal can find writers to put the best words in their speeches.
So long as you're a Catholic of the: abortion-loving, adulterous, fornicator, LGBT variety (take your pick) - democrats will love and welcome you. Otherwise, in their mind, you have no place in government.
I fault RC bishops around the world for not excommunicating every Catholic (politician or otherwise) who supports or condones godlessness.
IMHO, people like Cardinal Dolan and his colleagues prefer rubbing shoulders and being in the limelight with the likes of the Baldwins, Pelosis and Bidens of this world - than rebuke and excommunicate them.
Sorry but it sounds appropriate to me. A year ago I would have said this was just lib bias BS.
Does being a Catholic stop Nancy Pelosi from voting to fund abortions on Friday and taking communion on Sunday?
> How about asking her if Sharia Law or the Constitution is the supreme law in the Republic. Then again I forget about al-Taqiyya. <
The critics were wrong when they said that JFK’s primary allegiance would be to the pope, and not to his country. But somehow I think this Muslim chick will not put country first. Islam just works that way.
(Oops! Should I not have said “chick”? Was that wrong of me?)
They are warming up their attacks for Amy Coney Barrett, since Ruth Bader Ginsburg just had more malignant cancer tumors cut out.
If the right was doing this to democrat candidates, we’d never hear the end of “no religious tests”.
The blatant hypocrisy.
Given the way some Muslim men treat their women, I think cluck might fit better.
KofC ... the first organization to start handing out financial aid after 9/11, regardless of the recipients’ religion. Same thing after Hurricane Katrina.
United States Constitution, Article VI
...but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
bttt
I would love, for once, to see a nominee "take the sixth" and refuse to answer the question by invoking their Article VI protection against religious tests.Each time the Senator pushes the question, the nominee should just declare "I am asserting my Article VI protection against religious tests and refuse to discuss the matter."
When the Senator persists, I would suggest replying with the following:
"How would you use my answer in your deliberations? You can't use it to disqualify me, so isn't it best that we don't even go there so there is no perception of taint in the confirmation process?"Article VI is the same Article that requires the oath that YOU, Senator, swore to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.' Why won't YOU defend my protection against religious tests?"
