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/Handmaids Tale connection. Dianne Feinsteins comment, the dogma lives loudly within you, and thats 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 todays 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. Barretts nomination has merely renewed attention to a fundamental conflict, centuries underway, between Catholicism and the American ethos.

“WHO KNEW that Ed Morissey was gonna bring back an oldie-but-goodie - The Know Nothing Party...”
The ‘Know Nothing’ aka ‘American Party’ aka ‘Native American Party’. Along with the Northern ‘Conscience’ Whigs it was a basis of the new Republican Party.
“It was primarily an anti-Catholic, anti-immigration, populist and xenophobic movement, although it was also progressive “on issues of labor rights, opposition to slavery, and the need for more government spending”

So many of these politicians claim to be Catholic but push for abortion up until birth and the dumb ass Gov in Virginia wants you to be able to do away with a child even after birth.
And The Church fails to take a stand against these baby murderers because it does not want to lose their contributions.
Same for the immoral. Can’t criticize the freaks cause again, don’t care to lose their donations.
Have to pay off those claims against clergy pedophilia.
The Catholic faith of Nancy Pelosi is a head fake, insincere and in no way, shape, form, or manner, has any impact on her personal moral compass. * * * The Corleone Family was Catholic, too. Yet it's curious. The Biden and Pelosi families never started a Charitable Foundation to hide their fraud like the Clintons and Obamas have. |
