What huge steps in illogic. Just because the majority of the justices HAPPEN to be Catholic you make the HUGE, STUPID assumption about the Catholic Church in its entirety.
It IS the oldest and largest, continually existing institution in human history...yes, even larger than the Roman Empire.
Also, you sure show yourself to know very little about the Catholic Church. Don't you know that half the altar servers are now GIRLS? I guess not. You're stuck back in the '80's.
Also, half of all the lectors are women. I know that because I was in charge of the lectors for years. That is, I was in charge of the weekend lectors for only the 7:30 A.M. Mass on Saturdays and the 8:00 A.M. Mass on Sundays. There are SEVERAL Masses on each day of the week, with the MOST on Sundays.
There are separate lectors for EACH Mass for Saturdays and Sundays. We have multiple Masses every day, weekdays included. I COULD, if I wanted, be in charge of other days and/or other Masses.
When I went to Mass in New York City, the amount of Masses was double, New York being a HUGE city.
Also, the Catholic Church is now extremely careful about who becomes a priest. The Church learned its lesson. However, if your attitude of the 80's prevails here you won't believe that either.
My parish has no homosexual priests or altar servers. I haven't seen even ONE homosexual looking parishoner in all the decades I've been attending Mass there.
"Ask any altar boy"
Your flippancy is puerile.
And yet, there’s the SCOTUS, throwing religious liberty on the altar of political correctness.
I’ll remind you that this country was founded by Protestants... people who fled the oppression of the Catholic Church and all their wars. The Declaration of Independence was signed by only two Catholics. The rest were Protestants.
In other words, Catholics are the hangers-on in the fight for religious liberty - and in many other cases, they’re the enemy of religious liberty.
Religious liberty has been a bedrock foundation of American political thought since the founding of the country... and now a SCOTUS with no Protestants on it is serene in their dismissal of a case that basically says “If you have a company, you must service clients who display a lifestyle that goes against your religious principles.”
Never before has this happened in the US. And... never before have we had a SCOTUS without any Protestant representation on it.
Coincidence? In light of the absurd and bizarre ruling that enabled Obamacare (another long-held political position of the Catholic Church - socialized medical expenses), I’m pretty certain of my ground now. The SCOTUS is enabling this dismantling of our liberties as part and parcel of a Catholic worldview that now demonstrably controls the Court.
Glad to hear that the problems plaguing your church are now lessening.
