CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 24, 2020
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SCHEDULED AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON HIS PICK FOR THE SUPREME COURT FOR SATURDAY. THE LEADING CANDIDATE APPEARS TO BE APPEALS COURT JUDGE AMY CONEY BARRETT.
PUBLICATIONS LIKE NEWSWEEK AND REUTERS ARE BEING USED TO ATTACK HER CATHOLIC FAITH AND ATTENDANCE AT A BIBLE STUDY.
SENATOR BEN SASSE OF NEBRASKA ISSUED A STATEMENT IN WHICH HE SAID, “THESE UGLY SMEARS AGAINST JUDGE BARRETT ARE A COMBINATION OF ANTI-CATHOLIC BIGOTRY AND Q-ANON STUPIDITY…JUST LIKE BILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS AROUND THE WORLD, JUDGE BARRETT READS THE BIBLE, PRAYS AND TRIES TO SERVE HER COMMUNITY. SENATORS SHOULD CONDEMN THIS WACKY MCCARTHYISM.”
IT REALLY ISN’T ABOUT FAITH. IT’S WHETHER THAT FAITH SHAPES ONE’S WORLDVIEW. JOE BIDEN CLAIMS TO BE A FAITHFUL CATHOLIC, BUT IS IN TUNE WITH SECULAR PROGRESSIVES ON MOST ISSUES. BIDEN, NANCY PELOSI AND MANY OTHER LIBERAL CATHOLIC MEMBERS OF CONGRESS DEFY THEIR POPE’S TEACHING WHEN IT COMES TO LIFE AND MARRIAGE.
THE CONSTITUTION PROHIBITS A RELIGIOUS TEST FOR OFFICE. TOO BAD IT ALSO DOESN’T PROHIBIT BIGOTRY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
