"Catholics dominate SC. All the Evangelicals dissed."
So you're in favor of religion-based affirmative action?
You are an idiot of DU dimensions. The racial and religious politics you engage in is no different than the worst of the RATS. Go to DU with that nonsense.
Who cares? Whether Catholic or Protestant Evangelical, he's a believer, almost more importantly today, he's NOT a Muslim, and is a constructionist for all we can see.
What more do you want?
He is, of course, wrong about what Protestants believe ~ first of all, we all aren't like the tepid Episcopaleans who hang around in his social circles.
This is the risk you get with Alito ~ not that he's a Catholic, but that he will seek to avoid giving offense to what he believes to be the majority.
Best bet for Alito to show us that he's going to be his own man is to jump the reservation and join a neighborhood Pentecostal group. He could send a nasty note to the Pope while he's at it, but we could take him more seriously if he did that. Else, we are forced to believe he's just another cowardly Kennedy type.
What? That's about the dumbest thing I have ever seen on FR - I hope you just forgot your sarcasm tag.
Speaking as a Protestant, may I respectfully suggest that Protestantism led pretty much directly to the radical Marxist, anti-Christian Ivy League universities (and imitators) of today, even though they started as Protestant strongholds. Catholic scholarship, on the other hand, continues to focus on the Christian belief system, which many social scientists are still too parochial to figure out (physical scientists are more likely to take a deep look and conclude that this universe isn't randomly ordered).
The current decline of our jurisprudence stemmed from the past SC decision that put unbelief (that humankind was/is created by a supreme intelligence beyond the capability of mere humans) on equal footing with belief in the God acknowledged by our Constitution. The two points of view are irreconcilable, since both can't be true, unless you buy the idea that God has created us but has since died.
Instead of putting the burden of proof onto those who want change in this nation, leftists demand that the language of the words of existing proofs be redefined to reflect the opposite of what they have always meant.
Catholics dominate SC. All the Evangelicals dissed.
Don't know why religion matters......
As long as the nominee believes in original intent of the constitution, I could care less what his/her religion is.
From everything I see, Judge Alito is a SUPERB conservative.
