No one said automatic. It is completely reasonable to consider the long, documented history of Catholic involvement in socialism, unionism and Democratic Partyism in this country, all of which are promoters of abortion, birth control, promiscuity, homosexuality and other moral outrages that contradict church teaching. Take a look at the many ostensibly Catholic universities like Georgetown, with its Saudi-funded "Muslim-Christian Understanding" institute, its "Sex Positive" week of filth on campus, its co-ed dorms and feminist faculty walking off the commencement platform in a huff when the invited speaker lauded the traditional family and decried the increasing acceptance of sexual immorality such as homosexualty -- and that was over a decade ago.
It's impossible not to be at least very wary of the political influence of prominent Catholics such as the worthies at Notre Dame who invited the biggest promoter of abortion in this nation to give their commencement address, then arrested pro-life demonstrators on their campus. And how about Massachusetts, home of one of the largest Irish Catholic communities in the nation, and also the place that first legalized gay marriage, holds gay proms with transvestite chaperones for the children, and adopted Romneycare -- it's the east coast bastion of left-wingism.
Given the political behavior of the majority of Catholics in this country, a reasonable degree of scrutiny and skepticism about Catholics on the Court is not bigotry. It's recognizing a contradictory reality, very much like the black voters' adherence to the Democrat plantation in spite of the Dem Party's history of denying Civil Rights until the Republicans forced it through, then claiming it was Democrats all along, not even to mention their dastardly promotion of abortion and socialism that keep blacks down.
And btw, Jim Robinson is the arbiter of what is worthy of this Forum, highhat.
Well done.
Now, if you had said all that at the beginning, instead of tossing off a little anti-Catholic bias, we would not have had a problem.

The truth will set you free, as Lord Jesus stated. You are speaking the truth here.
