I dated an Eoiscopalian, and said he’s “J.V. Catholic”.

Gorsuch is the ONLY justice on SCOTUS who is not Jewish or Roman Catholic.

He is Episcopalian.

They would be just fine with Pope Frank. Marxist? Check. Latino? Check. Anti-American? Check. Not a U.S. Citizen? Check. Catholic? Not so much.

Just to play devil’s advocate, for much of the time that the court was all Protestant, the country itself was overwhelmingly Protestant as well.

The other six seats are ALL Catholics.

1) Neal Gorsuch is Episcopal.

2) Let's get a few more Catholic Presidents, and maybe your complaints won't seem so petty.

The only “religion” the left upholds is Liberalism. The fake Catholics on the left love killing people.

“1) Neal Gorsuch is Episcopal.

2) Let’s get a few more Catholic Presidents, and maybe your complaints won’t seem so petty.”

1) Being an Episcopalian is almost like being a Catholic theologically
2) So you think we should have more Catholic Presidents? You mean like that POS John Kennedy and the rest of his Irish “bootlegger” family? No thanks! And just so you know, my wife is Irish and she feels exactly the same way. She also thanks the day her father told the Catholic Church to take a hike!

I learned more about you from that rant, than I did about Catholics.

“Why are so many on the Supreme Court Catholic, already?”

I blame the Protestant presidents and the pro—Catholic and Jew bias in their nominations. They must know something I guess. Or it could be Jews and Catholics go to the elite north east law schools and culture. I would rather they pick their Catholics from other areas of the country, I think this Barrett chick isn’t from the north east.

I would love to see a regular person non-lawyer, joe the plumber type. The kind of person that has enough sense to have never eaten a $100 plate of food that looks like Christmas tinsel smeared over a tiny piece of meat.

I think I recall that Kennedy picked a Protestant for his SC pick.

When African-Americans were being persecuted in the Old South, their persecutors were so ashamed of what they were doing that they covered themselves with white sheets and hoods to hide their identity.

But the Democrats and media are gearing up to persecute a possible Catholic Supreme Court nominee for her religious beliefs in full shameless view of the world, complete with pre-borking coming attractions to attract as many viewers as possible to their Inquisition.

The particular denomination of a supreme court justice isn't really all that important. I do think they should be someone with a judeo-christian worldview though. Your worldview matters. For those bitching about catholics on the court, I point to Justice Scalia. I'd take another one of him. What I'd really like is a clone of Clarence Thomas.

Not that it matters, but I was raised Southern Baptist.

Real Catholics are trashed. Phonies, like pelosi, would never be challenged.

Phonies claim to be Catholic, and try to get votes on it, but are just opportunists who believe in nothing.

“I think I recall that Kennedy picked a Protestant for his SC pick.

Freegards”

On reading about the “religious history” of the SCOTUS just now, it appears that both Jews and Catholics on the Court are a very recent thing. Back as late as the early 20th Century, the Court was essentially all Protestant. The current make up is very new thing.
As for Kennedy’s pick, I suspect that he realized that he didn’t have a lot of latitude given the likely makeup of the Senate back then. But that’s just conjecture on my part. And I suspect that the percentage of Catholics in the US was likely smaller back then as well.
