Wasn't this all put to bed with JFK in 1960?!

Just hours before Donald Trump will presumably announce his nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, the New York Times pushed out this attempt to rehab attacks on Barrett over her Catholic faith. Give Elizabeth Bruenig this much credit — she manages to front-load the debunking of attacks on Barrett over the false People of Praise/”Handmaid’s Tale” connection. Dianne Feinstein’s comment, “the dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern,” is called infamous.
However, all that is mere predicate to declare attacks on Catholicism fair game in a confirmation hearing, because of its “fundamental conflict” with “the American ethos”:
But the animosity faced by Catholics in today’s America has little in common with its direct predecessor. Real sex-abuse scandals have replaced the imaginary ones circulated in the lurid tracts of yesteryear. White Catholics are no longer subject to the religious bigotry that once animated vicious rumors and, occasionally, violent attacks on Catholics and their places of learning and worship. Rather than regenerating a long-vanquished prejudice, Ms. Barrett’s nomination has merely renewed attention to a fundamental conflict, centuries underway, between Catholicism and the American ethos. …

The NYT commits acts of violence with their words.
Thought Nazi Pelosi was Catholic.
The more they trash her the more eyes will open.
NYT: Maybe A Little Anti-Semitism Is A Good Thing When It Comes To Ginsburg
NYT is the Left’s Ministry Of Propaganda. Nothing more.
Well that didn’t take long.
I tweeted this out to let everyone know how ‘wonderful’ the NY slimes is.
In 1960 there were a lot of Protestants who did not like Kennedy’s Catholic faith. But times have changed. It is now atheists, secular Jews, and Rainbow Protestants (former mainline Episcopalians/Presbyterians/Methodists) who attack Barrett’s faith. These are groups who believe in Gaia not in God.
The NY Slimes really lacks a sense of irony.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Borking is defined in the Merriam Webster dictionary. Unfair political attack is the definition.
And to think that millions of Catholics are still voting for democrats 40 years after Rowe vs. Wade. Haven’t they figured out yet that the DEMOCRAT PARTY IS THE PARTY OF PLANNEWD PARENTHOOD AND ABORTION!!!
Glad to have you aboard!
No surprise, I doubt Catholicism is even a remote % of NYT employee religion.
It IS NYC after all.
You’ve got it—Gaia not God.
Great post, LAZ!
Taxman Bravo Zulu!
What a shocker, fineswine is unable to address an individual and instead wants to smear Justice Barrett for the religion she has chosen ... and of course fineswine has no idea the state of Justice Barrett’s spirit!
But don’t you dare bring up Biden’s faith, that is a doggy no no
TY. Bless you guys!
Just want you to know that millions of us are networking on Twitter, and I for one share some of your research there.
Trump has a following of more than 80 million. A lot of us get suspended sometimes. Half of them admit that they did something stupid. But some of the big ones get targeted apparently.
