The heterodox Jesuit-run America Magazine published an op-ed earlier this month that blamed 'misogyny' for Catholics voting overwhelming for Trump, going as far as accusing St. Thomas Aquinas and Church teaching as being in error.
Absent female authority in the church, and given this theological throughline, it is not surprising that female authority is so often feared or despised and that many Catholic men (and women) consider it demeaning to follow the lead of a woman,” she wrote.
The papal document Bonnette cites, Inter Insigniores, reaffirmed the Church’s constant teaching that holy orders are reserved for men. Here, Bonnette again argues that the Church is in error.
While Bonnette blames “misogyny” for Trump winning the Catholic vote, the more plausible explanation is that the current VP opted to run an anti-Catholic campaign centered on abortion.
Over the course of her campaign, Harris vowed to sign a bill to legalize abortion nationwide, said she wouldn’t allow religious exemptions for abortion and even invited abortionists to take center stage during a campaign rally.
In her concession speech, Harris underscored how, despite her election loss, she would continue to fight for women’s “right” to abortion. Bonnette praised this speech in her article, stressing that it moved her to tears.
“I didn’t cry until Vice President Kamala Harris turned from the podium where she offered her concession speech and began to walk away—steady in her stilettos, head held high. Her speech exuded the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control,” Bonnette wrote.
In addition to her radical pro-abortion platform, Harris’s campaign held a strong anti-Catholic prejudice. She notably skipped the Al Smith dinner and instead made a short video addressing the event, which drew no laughter from the attendees and was roasted for being “disrespectful.” The VP also kicked students out of a rally after they shouted, “Christ is King!” and “Jesus is Lord!” responding, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.”
