WE all know the Church favors “social justice” and is mislead when it favors government doing the job of the Church.
The question was ad is: Do you think the Church actually influences the Supreme Court, even the Chief Justice?
And if the answer is yes, then a former instance of such an accusation is needed otherwise it is sheer paranoia and libelous speculation making Free Republic look not so good.
As I’ve stated already, I do not believe the Church influenced the Supreme Court in its recent ruling. I don’t think less of anyone who believes they might have tried; their collusion with the Dems in getting Obama elected and ObamaCare initially passed warrants such cynical mistrust.
While the Republican Party is more in line with the ROMAN Catholic Church’s official positions on most issues, the hierarchy of the AMERICAN Catholic Church has lost all credibility while trying to convince American Catholics that they can vote for pro-abortion candidates without risking their immortal souls. In the past we were fortunate in having a Protestant (Bush) who was more “Catholic” than his Catholic opponent, Kerry; Bush won his elections for the most part by carrying the “Protestant” states, while his Dem opponents for the most part carried the “Catholic” states.
