And even if one did, what are the odds that Catholic U.S. Senators would vote for them.

Flynn kissed the Kennedy's butts when he was mayor of Boston, and was one of the chief deriders of the "Republican Revolution" when the GOP was the only political party to take courageous stands on the pro-life issue.

Is he suddenly overcome with a guilty conscience? Will he stay in the Democrat Party, or are his words just part of his job?

(Full disclosure: I think Ray Flynn is still a raging drunk, and his words ring exceedlingly hollow.)

Actually, it might even read "No Pro-Life Judge Need Apply". The secular humanist democrats don't give a fig about the religion of the nominee, only that the nominee will protect the secular humanist high unholy rite of womb-bound child slaughter.

Flynn seems to have over-looked ROMAN CATHOLIC JUSTICES THOMAS AND SCALIA! No wonder, since they're both Republicans!

"Flynn seems to have over-looked ROMAN CATHOLIC JUSTICES THOMAS AND SCALIA! No wonder, since they're both Republicans!"

And we all remember how easy it was for Clarence Thomas' nomination to pass the Senate. Was there ever a longer, more overtly hateful acceptance process for any other Supreme Court Justice than Clarence Thomas's? Also, I believe that Mr Flynn was talking about today's hateful climate regarding religious conservatives, which has grown more openly hostile than at any other period in American history. Flynn is a good man with many strong conservative views. So far some responders in here have called him "drunk", "democrat", "Kennedy buttsniffer", but just can't come up with anything of substance to put this man down with. Why not just say what you're thinking, he's Catholic.

Flynn has changed (seen the light on the Right) since his democrat drinking days of yore. If I remember correctly, he came out, stood tall and endorsed GWB. Right, or have I mistaken Flynn for another former Boston-democrat Catholic?

Clarence Thomas was an Episcopalian at the time of his confirmation, and still is.

Thomas is a Roman Catholic by his very own testament.

I'm Catholic, and where was Flynn's defense of the "pro-life" position when his buddy Clinton was in the White House, and Flynn was the designated pit-bull to go after Newt Gingrich after the Republican takeover.

Flynn's a johnny-come-lately to the pro-life party, and he's still a Democrat, which party's presidential platform supports abortion.

Cite the testament. I recall that he went to Catholic school, but I also recall very distinctly that he said he attends the Episcopal Church.

Might have something to do with his being divorced in 1984 and remarrying in 1986.

That's okay; I'm sure there are lots of "Catholic" pro-abort judges out there too. There are plenty of people in government who continue to receive the Eucharist every week while they try to undermine everything the Church stands for. I look for a future Demorat president to nominate one.

[nickcarraway]

I don't know the whole history of Ray Flynn, but in the last few years he has made pro-life issues a priority.

[sinkspur]

From Wikipedia "Thomas was born in Pin Point, Georgia. Devoutly Roman Catholic then (he now attends Episcopal church with his wife), Thomas considered entering the priesthood, and briefly attended a Catholic seminary in Georgia, where he encountered some racism.

[onyx]

Unless he's been excommunicated, he remains a Roman Catholic.

Shall we agree that we're both correct?

[sinkspur]

I don't know the whole history of Ray Flynn, but in the last few years he has made pro-life issues a priority.

Social justice issues mattered more to Flynn when he was excoriating Newt Gingrich for starving children in 1995.

I'll never forget the hate in his voice; course, that's when he was drinking like a fish, too.

The fact that he remains in the Democrat Party says a lot about him, as it did about Robert Casey, who wasted the last few years of his wonderful life fighting the Democrat establishment over abortion.

Are Protestant pro-life judges OK?
